Nice place for a competitive price

Pros: - Location of our unit was right on the beach. - Umbrellas and chairs provided. - Beach was not busy in mid June. - Pool was nice. - AC was incredible. Cons: - I realize what goes with being so close to the water but it could have used a bleaching in the bathroom to get rid of the moldy corners. - Wifi wasn't that good. Overall I'd stay there again

Great spot on the beach

We have an active five year old and we loved this place. The beach out the front and the pool out the side. We loved having a kitchen to save on going out to eat all the time.

Step out the back door to your toes in the sand

This is the third annual beach trip for me and 3 of my girlfriends. Best set up we have seen. Less than 100 steps to a beach that is surrounded by private residences resulting in this property pretty much having a long stretch of beach to itself. NICE, sturdy lounge chairs are kept on the beach - no dragging them between your unit and the beach. Unit is small, but slept 4 of us easily. Full kitchen - pretty well-equipped. Pool are was nice - very clean - gas grills available for use. Office offers beach umbrellas for use at no charge. Wagons are available for unpacking/packing your vehicle. Definitely recommend!!!

Charming view, awesome sunsets!

This property is like a hidden gem, with gorgeous views and the small screened in lanai worked out great for us. Literally on the beach! The pool area was nice, and overall the condos were very quiet (but no one was staying above us during our stay, which is possible). The property manager was excellent, and willing to assist with any request (we had plenty of towels, soap, paper towels & toilet paper, which was a pleasant surprise). I would definitely recommend this place, and stay again if in the area. If you want to walk everywhere, this isn't a good choice, but a nice town center is a few miles down the road. The property is older, but it's well maintained. If I were to recommend anything, it would be to enhance the washer/dryer units. They are okay, but are showing some wear. We stayed several places while in FL and this one was our favorite!

Excellent location, right on the beach. Comfortable beds and ambient lighting. Excellent air con.

Lovely property in an excellent position for beach and pool. Kids had a great time. Any problems were sorted quickly - the toaster didn’t work and was replaced immediately. I would have liked more plates as had to wash up rather than use the dishwasher being a family of 6.

Great location on beach

Good pool and beach view. Beds were uncomfortable - especially the king. Very low ceilings in hallway and bathrooms. Very small shower but good water pressure. Coin laundry machines located outside which was weird. Overflow parking for a second car was down and across the street - not convenient. “Ok” for one night we stayed there.

Beautiful beach access

Cute two bedroom place, great direct view and access to beach. Only downside is that it had one bath/shower, and I didn't notice when I booked. It's a 1 and 1/2 bath which made it a little crowded for four people...
