Great place to stay there is an issue in the hallway bathroom. The light cover above the mirror has a black wire for the light sandwiched between the cover and the wall easy to see. Could lead to a fire if not repaired.

The kitchen was fully stocked, the beach view was superb. Very easy access to the beach. The only concern for anyone going is the parking, the spots are a little tight to get into. I understand the building is built that way but it is hard to maneuver.

Family Vacation

The condo was very clean which is something that I am very particular about. The kitchen was fully stocked with dinnerware, silverware, glasses, etc. so you don't have to constantly run the dishwasher. The company that manages it contacted me during the first few days of our stay to see if I had any questions or comments which made it more personal. There is a new boardwalk to access the beach and an access code is required to access the boardwalk and the restrooms by the pool area which is nice. The only suggestion I have is to mount towel bars in the master bath.

Cute, clean, & comfy

The condo itself was lovely & super clean. We did have a slight mishap with the door upon checking in, but that was resolved immediately. My only complaint is the parking. The pillars around the assigned spots are ridiculously tight and for me, it wasn’t worth the time & effort to park in our assigned spot. But that’s not the property owner’s fault. Definitely recommend this property.
