The host is very quick when responding and providing information needed before/during/checking out. The downside is was the pigeons were messing the balcony but after contacting the host he sent someone to clean up the mess in a timely manner. The condo itself had the basic essential needed, up to date except the sofa/sofa bed could be upgraded which was not a make or break. I highly recommend this condo and appreciate the host for going above and beyond

Property was nice…..but reviews were a bit overrated

Pros: Condo was clean, though a bit outdated. Bed was comfortable and kitchen had most of what anyone would need. Location was great and convenient to beach. Cons: Musty smell (but that’s very difficult to control being so close to beach)Toiletries were VERY cheap and limitedCheck out time is ridiculous (10 a.m.)Owner/Property owner is over-the-top with communications (which are really reiterations of their rules)Overall, just okay…..not the worst VRBO we’ve stayed at, but far from the best.

Great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed renting this property. Tufan communicated several times and checked in on our arrival. The only thing we were missing was a box of tissues and I had requested a dish cloth. There was a sponge available, but Tufan said that I could purchase a dish cloth and he would reimburse me that was kind. The bedroom was comfortable, but the pillows were somewhat flat, although there were several to choose from. The kitchen had everything that we needed. We really appreciated being able to use the beach, chairs and umbrella and it was easy to set them up. The deck on the condo was shaded and provided an excellent view of the beach in the water We ate at the café the first morning, and there were several items to choose from which were all good. The air conditioning was very good, and we finally figured out how to permanently, set it a little warmer. you could choose a temporary holder a permanent hold. And if we were coming without family, we would definitely stay here again. Basically. We had an excellent day! Thank you so much for offering this property! Just a note for those who are catching late flights like we did…(9:02 pm) check out is at 10 AM so we had time to kill and the facility property does not have a secure place to keep your bags. They did offer to keep them within site just across from the desk, check-in area, which we did. And that seem to work well.

The view from this unit is spectacular as it is located on the upper floors of the building. The unit is as advertised in the photos, the check in process was very smooth, and the host was very responsive on questions leading up to the stay. During our stay, no issues whatsoever with the unit. Our two teenage boys had a blast as the beach is right there, and we could keep an easy eye on them with the view from this unit. No complaints whatsoever, would definitely recommend.

Excellent place to stay

It is really a nice property. We spent 5 days there with my family (wife, kids -ages 5 and 7) and we had a blast. The private beach area is pretty big, reasonable prices, drinks served, food is great, pool was clean… We were there in the peak spring break season and their hot tub is small. For 22 floor, 18 units per floor, it was not designed properly.
