We had a fabulous time. In spite of no A/C, we were quite comfortable the entire time. The living room sofa could have been more comfortable, but the kitchen was clean and well equipped. The shower was FABULOUS!

Sea turtles, sun, jungle, and sea at your fingertips. Great family friendly area, minutes from downtown. We loved being close to Carmichael Park; saw a sea turtle the first day. Kids loved it!

Friendly property manager helped us find our lockbox and told us about the differences in the keys. Nice apartment that kept fairly cool without air conditioning. Nice pool and convenient access to the ocean. At the end of the hall, so good privacy. Would have been nice to be able to give our older kids keys too, but $250 list key fee wasn't worth the risk. Buddhist statues everywhere, too much. Toilet requires multiple flushes and there's a slow leak in the shower. Overall it was an enjoyable stay.

The hosts were very responsive. It was great being right next to the beach where we could swim and snorkel.

We swam every morning with fish and turtles. Our room was great other than our view was the parking lot. The road by the condo can be very noisy and the roosters start in about 4:30 AM. Othan, the maintenance person was so helpful and kind. One of our keys that ran the elevator and other doors did not work very well. There's a great library in the lobby. We've stayed here many times.

Enjoyed a relaxing week at this great condo. If you enjoy snorkeling, this is your spot. Wake up, walk outside, snorkel or swim. Unit was updated, clean, and sufficiently supplied. The only drawback was that the patio faces the parking lot (with greenery) and not the ocean. Rental price more than fair though and we did not spend much time inside.

This is a clean, comfortable property with a nice open kitchen area. We snorkeled every day at the park next door, enjoyed the restaurant across the street, and appreciated that both beds were the same quality and size.

The building is a little dated but the kitchen has been updated and is very nice. No view but a 30 second walk you will be blown away by the view.

The area was iffy and the view was not good. (Parking lot) the elevator key issue was annoying.
