The place was absolutely amazing! We loved it ... great view, lanai, and pool. Loved having the chairs at pool to take to the beach. We will hopefully be back next year. The only thing lacking was only 1 roll of paper towels, no tissues, only 1 trash bag. Also, there were no comforters on the beds, only a thin paperlike cover, and only 1 thin blanket in the closet. A nicety would also be a keurig coffeemaker. Thank you so much.

Love this apartment but very u comfortable bed

We were so happy with this place we rebooked it immediately. I’m just praying they replace the king mattress. We both had major neck and back issues the week following. It was that uncomfortable.

Great location

Overall we had a great stay. Easy access to the beach, comfy beds, easy parking. Washer and dryer near our unit did not work and we tried to use the oven but there was too much grease at the bottom that it made the smoke detector go off. Would like the owner to supply more trash bags and toilet paper. Also, tried to play tennis but gates were locked 😞.
