Great 3day weekend

Stay was easy and what you would expect from a beech condo. It’s not the Ritz but you can’t get much closer to the beach. We felt like we had a private beach. The pool closes at 5 when they go home but you still have the beach right there. Would definitely stay here again

Pool was closed

They had to make repairs which took most of our stay. Very disappointing. Other than that, it was just what I expected.

Above my expectations!

In general I was very impressed with this property, the management, the location, everything. The ONLY thing that was awkward was that to get from the master bedroom to the kitchen you had to walk through the second bedroom. Minor inconvenience to get so much for this price.
