The beach views were stunning. The sunsets were awesome. The whole apt was clean. We only used the pool once and it was warm and it was clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The direct ocean view was amazing! And we loved the layout of the unit, it probably had the best family room set up we've ever seen. And the furniture was comfortable and the unit was very clean.Closet space was amazing as well. We had more than enough space.The property manager did come and address a wasp problem that was present over the second door when we checked in, but the problem resurfaced at the end of the week. So maybe a long term solution should be found.
