A+ Location
My wife and our two children stayed at this location. We ended up spending quite a bit indoors with a tropical storm affecting our stay for 4 days. The property was great, the location was beautiful and quiet, and all points of interest were no more than a 10 minute drive. We had no complaints and truly enjoyed the condo. It was a nice place to call home for our vacation.

Perfect spot for a family vacation!
Our family stayed in this condo, consisting of 4 adults and 1 child, age 10. The location was absolutely perfect for us and we loved the gorgeous views from the condo. We were right across the street from the beach. We loved that we could throw on our swimsuits and walk over and jump waves within moments. The resort had a gazebo and private showers to rinse off sand before returning to the condo. That was very convenient. During our stay we used the pools, hot tub and wave pool and all were very clean and inviting. There are 2 elevators within the resort and we were on the 14th floor. We rarely had much wait time in accessing the elevators. Parking in the garage was easy and convenient. The condo was very spacious and had all we really needed. The full size washer and dryer were great and worked as they should without any issues. We had a couple issues that resolved easily and communication was great with the owner. Initially we didn’t have parking passes in the room as we were told and the hallway bathroom toilet was constantly running and making a high pitch sound. Both issues were resolved quickly. I will say the lights within the condo were finicky, working at times and not working at other times. The master bedroom overhead light never worked. The space could use some fresh paint and dusting but overall I was pleased with our stay.

Property well positioned in the middle of where our events were located. On the waterfront was a great place to be. When we inquire for next year we are goin to need a property thats motorcycle friendly and trailer accessible. If possible please contact me with that information.

Looking to buy
We were looking to buy a unit in the same building so wanted to get a feel for the location. The unit is very nice and has everything we needed. The view is to die for! Location is quiet and calm. Disappointed we couldn’t get WiFi working as we needed to work online.

Issues not resolved during stay
Overall the stay was nice however we only had 4 pool bands for 6 people with a promise that 2 would arrive within a few days. They were never delivered so we kept having to make sure certain people had the 4 so we could all use the pool at diff times when we wanted to. Hall toilet kept running and we had to fix by hand the entire time as the stopper kept coming unhooked from the base. They were supposed to send a plumber but never did. Dryer doesnt dry clothing on first round, have to dry 2x for clothes to dry. Other than that it was ok but probably wouldnt stay again.
