Wonderful stay and great location

This is my second stay at this condo and I will definitely be back for the summer! I spent the weekend at this wonderful condo directly on the beach, and was able to walk to nearby restaurants and cute souvenir shops. I personally loved the Pink Pony Pub and The Hangout. There were also nice brunch places and coffee shops in walking distance. The condo itself is very clean and has many amenities. There are plenty of blankets and pillows, and the bedding is very comfortable. They provided more than enough kitchen supplies to cook with, and even had many seasonings to choose from. I enjoyed making a cup of coffee and sitting on the balcony with a great view in the morning. Toni was also very easy to communicate with. I am looking forward to returning to this beautiful condo.

Needs Updating and Told About Construction

The view from the condo was lovely. We enjoyed seeing pods of dolphins and gorgeous sunsets.However, the condo needs updating in the living room and kitchen. The sleeper sofa and chair in the living room were very uncomfortable, worn, and old. The kitchen is extremely small and narrow with peeling laminate countertops. There was a generous supply of utensils, appliances and cookware.The second bathroom had carpet, rather than tile by the sink. Not sure why same flooring for bath /toilet weren't used.The pool was advertised to be heated. The pool heater was not turned on until 2 days before we left in our 28 day stay. Very disappointing!When I contacted the owner about recliner, dogs in condo above us, and the construction/exterior painting, she was quick to respond. It would have been beneficial to know before we booked, that the building was under construction. We were subjected to daily noise of a hammer drill that reverberated throughout the entire building.

Castaways 3C

We stayed 4 nights. Location is great. Close to everything. Condo had everything you could need. Condo needs updating, furniture is old and not comfortable to relax on. Beds were not comfortable. Would be better if the master bedroom had a king size bed rather than 2 full/queen beds.
