We had a great time! The condo was very clean, it was a very short walk to the indoor/outdoor pool, and it was right in front of the boardwalk for beach access. The beds were very comfortable! The management company was very attentive and texted us to check in on our stay! That was much appreciated! Thanks for a great vacation!

Nice Condo

Property is great and has a lot to offer to stay entertained. Condo is nice and has everything you need. A few minor maintenance issues but nothing to ruin your stay and nothing worth contacting property management about during stay.

Nice location, nice price and nice condo

We were there for a softball tournament and the condo was all we needed and at a great price. I haven’t ever reserved a condo without laundry in the unit but it’s on site and didn’t need it. Overall happy with our stay, If you are looking for an updated unit with modern features (cabinets, bathroom, and kitchen) then look elsewhere. But if you don’t care about that, like me, then this unit is spot on!

Spring Break 2024

Enjoyed the amenities and location of property. Close enough to everything but on the beach. LOVED the 3 pools especially on the days when the double red flags were flying. Plenty to do, clean property, clean condo, really enjoyed our stay. I wish that the units had laundry machines, but the property does have two small laundromats. I would just prefer to wash clothes in the unit where I am staying. No complaints. Very nice.

Great Stay!

We took our kids here for a surprise vacation. The booking process was great! We had prompt communication and ease with checking in. However, the property only provides 6 towels for the entire stay at the condo. When I was texted by the property with check in details, I asked if we got get more towels and was sent a snarky message back from the property management company with my rental agreement which had in all caps, “NO DAILY MAID SERVICE.” I had asked if I could get more towels, not for someone to come in and clean the property. I was then told that text line was for only check in purposes, not communication with the property, which wasn’t outlined anywhere so I didn’t know that. All honest mistakes. I just felt that communication was unnecessarily rude. The property itself was nice and we would stay here again. There were plenty of pillows, blankets, an extra fan, a cooler, and a good assortment of kitchen tools. The appliances looked to be new and worked great! However, our microwave was dirty and after the unnecessary snarky text debacle, I was hesitant and didn’t report that. The facility had a great outdoor pool if the kids tired of the sand at the beach and so that was a great option we had. There was also where you could borrow toys outside at the pool and the showers to rinse off from at the beach. There was an indoor pool but we didn’t utilize it.
