Nice facility
The accommodations were great and has everything needed for a great stay even in the off season. Completely filled all our expectations and met all our needs. Great sunrise views. Closet door is off track. The only thing wrong with a great start. Thanks.

What A View
Though Jack (owner) was extremely friendly, and the amenities were plentiful, what I’ll never forget is THE VIEW. Property is oceanfront and faces the water. The view is as pictured in the synopsis. The extra little touches - bag of chocolates, charger ports, kitchen supplies/ seasonings - are classy. And…you’re on the 1st floor (one floor above the main level), directly above tiki bar area (which had live music one night). Awesome!

Excellent Stay!
My family and I had a wonderful time here. Everything was clean. The fireplace was such a nice added plus. Everything we needed was already in the condo, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap etc. The resort was very nice. We loved being on the 1st floor. And the host was great with check in, etc and providing info about fun things to do. Overall, great stay!
