Home away from home!

I seriously felt like this was MY apartment that I have lived in all my life. This was a very homey feeling space and I loved every minute of it. So close to the beach that we went EVERYDAY! (Sorry about all the sand on the floor!) I hope that I can book the same space again later this summer or fall!

Nice Unit

This property was very clean and had everything we needed or wanted. Beach chairs, towels, cooler, and umbrella were available but we had brought our own. There were lots of bath towels and sheets available for our use as well. The check in process was very easy and the owner gave very clear directions of where the property is and how to use the lock to get into the unit. It was an easy 3 to 4 minute walk to the beautiful beach. I was looking forward to using the pool and the tiki bar but they were under construction and I did not know this ahead of time. It would have been nice to know that there was no elevator, but we managed to go up the stairs to the 2nd floor. The unit itself could use a little updating but was just fine.

A Quiet, Relaxing Villa

The villa was very clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Everyone we encountered on the property was very friendly. We especially liked the fact that there was 24/7 security at the gated entry. We were there for the beaches which were very convenient. We definitely recommend this villa and would stay there again.

A decent place…

This is my 2nd year staying here. It was not what it was last year…there was a Keurig coffee maker and a toaster last year and not this year…the rest of the condo was nice but the shower curtain had mold all over the bottom of it and definitely needs to be replaced asap. And the keypad on the door didn’t work this year. It was a little bit of an inconvenience only having one key with 2 people staying in the condo. Overall it was a decent place to stay just needs to fix minor issues

Cute Beach Stay

This unit was great! The proximity to the *practically private* beach was the best part for sure. It was clean and had pretty much everything we needed. Adding an umbrella to the closet with beach items would be perfect. The restaurant on the property was good too, their brunch was delicious. I would recommend getting a rental car as most of the restaurants are not in walking distance. Overall, would recommend the condo and area.
