My party and I were absolutely in love with this property. It was a lot more spacious than we thought which was perfect, and the hosts were easy to contact if we had any issues (which we didn't really have). Also, great walking distance from public access at Indian Shores Beach. Overall, great times were had!
Our entire group raved about this property the entire stay! The hosts thought of everything! It was stocked full of amenities; from cleaning supplies to cards! I would definitely stay here again! So close to the beach and restaurants! 10/10!! Check out process was made easy as well as the check in!! I am definitely coming back.
The condo was spacious and very well outfitted. It is very well managed and communication was excellent. There were plenty of beach chairs and other beach paraphernalia available for our use. Parking is right out front and we had 4 spots available to us. It’s not convenient to walk to the beach because you have to go over a large causeway, but it is a very short car ride. Overall a great location and the master suite Isabel spacious with a nice new bathroom and very comfortable bed.
This unit was above and beyond in amenities, accommodations and extras. Clean and comfortable. Nice bed linens and bath towels, even beach towels. Very convenient to have full washer and dryer. Kitchen was fully equipped with more than enough dishware that was in excellent condition also. Location on main road is not ideal for beachgoers, but parking and proximity to everything else, shops and restaurants was excellent.
