Room was very clean and view was fantastic! The elevator had a maintenance issue that prevented it from working for a couple hours. The place was very crowded - however - it is summer and school is out. Overall - it was a nice stay. We would stay there again - just not during school breaks .

This was the best beach vacation.  The condo was clean and comfortable.  The manager was extremely helpful and checked on us to make sure everything was going good.  The staff were nice and helpful too.  The food and drinks from the tiki bar and cafe were some of the best.  We particularly liked the honey bbq wings.  The sand was white and clean.  We saw dolphins from our condo balcony. This is the perfect place for families with kids.

It is a very secure resorts with security 24/7. Nice parking garage. The resort is right on the shoreline. We would walk to the elevator, and could get to the pools in seconds and be on the beach in less than 5 minutes. Plenty of seating. Very spacious. Our son loved the pools. We did rent a crib from a local company because there was only a pack and play, and he is particular with his sleep. We appreciated the washer and dryer. We really liked the balcony with the ocean view as well. Good restaurants around and close by shopping.
