Relaxed Housepitality !!

This is a second time registering and booking a place for family memories. This memory allow many of the family to be around a new little life. As we arrived at the facility, the office staff was professional but very comforting. The condo was 1st class and allowed everyone to feel at home in different location. Our departure was non-stressful and again was because of the staff that worked there. We look forward to another time in life to spend using this condo or VRBO.

The Mc-Wim Spring Break 2023

So are stay was great but a few things to say. 1. Stove had to be replaced 2. TV took 2 days to get to work 3. The kitchen pans need to be updated 4. Chairs on the patio need to be updated. 3 of chairs are old and when you have 6 people staying only 2 people can sit. 5. Need to let people know they need to bring a few things : Toilet paper, garage bags, dish soap and etc.. Other than the few things that happened we had an awesome time and the location was amazing. Will be looking to go back next year and hope to get the same condo.

Balmy & Stinky

We arrived on Monday afternoon, and the thermostat was set on COOL at 75. We set the temperature at 70 and left the unit to go eat and hit the grocery store. When we got back, the temperature had RISEN to a balmy 78. It was warmer inside than it was outside, with the A/C on. The unit stayed between 78-80 degrees until Wednesday afternoon when it was finally fixed. This made sleeping rather uncomfortable. Also, upon arrival the unit absolutely reeked. It smelled like a combo of ashtray and a musty old building. After LOTS of Febreeze..3 cans to be exact..it was finally semi-odor free. It was so pungent all our clothes had to be washed the day after arrival. It is a smoke free unit, but it was very apparent someone had smoked in it. Other than those 2 issues, the location is perfect..the building is rather dated, though decent enough, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We were advised we'd be compensated for the A/C issue, but we'll have to wait and see. We're honestly undecided if we 'd stay there again.

Perfect location, but leaky pipes

This condo was perfect for walking to shops, dining, and The Hangout. Next door to the public beach, our kids could play beach volleyball. However, maintenance had to come to our unit three separate times due to our leaky pipes down to the condo below us. That was a bummer, but the property is 40 years old.

Great Beachfront Condo

Fantastic condo, check-in was remarkably easy. Closest accommodation to Hangout with amazing view of entry gate to festival as well as beach so it was super convenient to see the length of lines at any given time. Two bathrooms is a little tight if you are having more than 6 people especially since one is in the master bedroom. That being said, it was a great condo.
