Reviewer Comments:
Nice accommodations but it was lacking in some of the basics we've grown accustom to when staying in other condos at Nemo Cay. Laundry still in the dryer, floor/stairs not swept or vacuumed. Living room rug piled in the master closet, one master closet door stuck shut. Last but not least, no basic spices in cabinet and although out of their control water had to be boiled. All in all though we had a nice trip & blessed to spend with family.

Reviewer Comments:
When we arrived at the rental i was expecting to be on the beach and easy access to a pool. To my disnay there was no beach in walking distance. Although i was initially disappointed I quickly was informed that the beach was within a 5-10 minute drive. The facility was nice and comfortable. My only issue was it said it sleeps 10 but i only counted enough for 8-9. Would use the rental in future.
