Everything great except we missed outdoors furniture!

Perfect beach front location. The condo had everything we needed including beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. Quiet condo complex with a well maintained property and nice pool/hot tub. The free garage parking kept our car cool. It was nice to be close enough to walk in to town. Watching the waves from the lanai was wonderful. The air conditioner had stopped working before we arrived but it was replaced on our first full day here and the new one worked great! We appreciated the attentiveness and how quickly the unit was replaced. We would definitely stay here again!

This condo was really nice. We like how it was updated and the way it’s decorated. The view from the patio was amazing! The unit is in a great location and we were able to walk to restaurants and shops. The reason for the four stars and not five is due to the AC only working half the time we were there. Hopefully, this will be fixed. Kim was very responsive and nice to deal with.
