Very nice

Location was very good. Management got back to me quickly when I had questions. The upstairs was very cute with 2 queen beds a 1/2 bath. I gave a 4 on cleanliness because it does need some floor and maybe furniture updates. Overall very nice place

Perfect family vacation

My husband and I and our sons (10 & 3) stayed for 5 day and it was a perfect vacation. Relaxing, quiet, family oriented complex. Lots of kids around for mine to play in the pool with. The condo itself was perfect for us. My boys got a kick out of having their own space upstairs too. Everything was nice and clean when we arrived and we had everything we needed. Thanks so much for the great vacation. We will be coming back for sure!!

Stairs from hell

This property was supposed to be beachside property and it was not. I got a good view of the road. It had three flights of stairs you had to walk up because of no elevator and I am handicapped with bad knees.

Great condo with plenty of space.

The condo was very nice, and fairly well maintained. Had issues parking when we arrived as someone was blocking our parking space but that was resolved later in the evening. Spiral staircase in condo seemed loose. Also knew there were stairs bit didn’t realize that the 110’s were on 2nd floor which was 2 flights up, my poor knees were mad but we survived it. Would definitely recommend this unit to others.

Nice place, read full review

The place was great with the exception of couch in living room. It is severely wore out and if you plan on using you'll need an air mattress, it is even uncomfortable to sit on. Other than that the kitchen is stocked well and beds are real comfortable. Just make sure you know this place is 3 flights up to main level, if you have issues as there is no elevator. Proximity to beach is awesome , although your view is of main street, which can be noisy and the swimming pool. I would stay again if the couch was replaced, sooooo uncomfortable.
