Guest Reviews
Reviews
Enjoyed our 10 day stay in this nicely decorated and comfortable unit. The neighborhood is very quiet and it's an easy walk to beaches and fitness/tennis club which we loved. Unit was well equipped and clean.
We stayed at the condo for a week and it was generally a very good experience. The location is excellent, the unit itself is decent, but can do with better maintenance as it shows some ware and tear and the mobile AC units are shabbily installed. All in all a good experience.
The location and club access are the best parts of this property! We had some issues with the A/C several times but the property manager was quick to respond both times. The location is great and close to everything. The club was great for our kids that like to workout and for the family to play pickleball. Other than that, I would say it was clean and good enough for what we were looking for.
Loved the condo! Enough space for us (4 adults) and when we arrived everything was neat and tidy. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very helpful with any questions that came up. Very quick drive to the beach. I would definitely stay here again!
Couldn't ask for more!
Nice place for a family of four. In between beaches and easy access to the green belt, tennis, etc.
Location is perfect and can walk to the beach and get to shops/restaurants easily. The condo has all you need in the kitchen and has beach chairs & boogie boards to use. The hosts were very communicative and kind to us, and we would love to return soon!
I won't go in to all the details but we had an issue with the heat in the place. Lowest we got it was 81 which isn't sleepable in. The owners were great to work with so I will give them props there. I'm guessing most don't have this experience which is why it's such a highly rated place. Great location too.
Phenomenal location and property.
The condo was beautifully decorated and easy walking distance to the beach. The location was great. The condo is updated in terms of appliances, furniture, and the beds were comfortable. It was nice having a washer and dryer in the unit as well as beach gear. Some minor feedback for improvement would be the carpet. It could use a good cleaning as this is the first thing you’ll notice when you walk in. The upstairs master did not have black out blinds, so you'll get some headlights lighting up the room at night. Was weird the first night, but you get used to it. Beside these two minor things, this place is wonderful. The communication before and during the trip was fantastic. Would for sure stay here again.
