Beach and Baseball

Over all we had a great time, and even though we weren’t directly on the beach, the beach access was fairly easy. Not having a closet in the main bedroom was somewhat inconvenient. That’s prob the only thing I saw that could be improved. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo!

Summer Baseball Trip

We stayed at this same property last year. I was happy to see the downstairs, both the kitchen and den updated. We were happy with the property. I would recommend a new ceiling fan in the master bedroom as well as a new mattress. The current fan is very wobbly and the bed is rather uncomfortable. I love the pool at this property. The families were very friendly. Plus you don't come out smelling of chlorine. We would stay here again. Very convenient to everything.

Great location, misleading description

Downstairs bathroom did not work entire stay. We specifically rented this because it had 2 bathrooms. They said the water line is crossed with another apartment that is undergoing maintenance. They should have told us this. The deck boards are always terribly loose. The location is across the highway from the beach. Kitchen was nice.
