Beautiful Condo
This condo was perfect for our family getaway. I loved the big couch with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy movie night. There is also plenty of dining seating with the table, bar stools, and tv trays. The condo was clean and very tastefully decorated. We loved this condo!

We planned this trip last minute and we are so happy we stayed here! The condo was away from all of the hustle and bustle, which is what we wanted. Check in was super easy, the condo was clean and had everything we needed, even stuff for the beach! The balcony was amazing. We had a great time and would recommend this condo to anyone.

Starkey Properties/ Grand Caribbean
The condo was beautiful and clean. We loved it! The only issues we had was with Starkey Properties. They didnt send me the email 2 days prior to check in to fill out the information needed to get into the condo so I called them and had to fill in all information needed in the hot parking lot on my phone. I called them again because they only gave us 2 parking passes. BTW - They dont answer the phone you have to call and hit the star key for a call back.(Annoying) They said 3 cars were allowed. The 2 with the parking passes can park in the front and the other car can park on the back row where there is not a tow sign. Well 2 days pass and we got a tow notice from "Thomas" saying the vehicle would be towed in 24 hours if not moved. I called Starkey (waited a call back again) I said I needed another pass or they would tow my truck I asked if Starkey Properties were still located up the road where it said on my map quest she said yes and I could come pick up a pass but they closed at 5:00 and it was 4:15. I said I was on my way. Well after going to that address and searching all around I finally stopping at another random Reality office and they said that Starkey did not have a physical building on the island (WHAT?) so I called Starkey again (wait for a call back) and they finally called back and said they would send someone out with another parking pass so my vehicle would not get towed. The condo was excellent - loved it but the Management was horrible.

Very nice condo
This condo is very updated and nice inside. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need (except measuring spoons😁). The view from the balcony is great Our disappointment comes not with the specific condo, but with the complex itself. Until mid to late afternoon, the swimming pool has absolutely no shade except for two tiny tables under a thatched umbrella. There is no where to lounge in the shade and the sun gets brutally hot. Additionally, there are no beach umbrellas for rent anywhere so there is no way to have any shade on the beach. These might be minor problems for some, but we were 4 adults in our 70’s looking to just relax on the beach or by the pool and not work on getting a tan. We do not have our own beach umbrellas, nor would we have been able to put them up if we did. If you are okay with the above info, then I recommend staying in this condo (but bring your own toilet paper…😁)

CLEAN and great location
This is the first location I've stayed and felt like it was actually clean. Everything was extremely clean inside and outside the condo. We saw ground staff multiple times cleaning the walkway to the beach, mopping elevators, picking up trash, etc. The beach is very easy to access and has a hose to rinse of the sand after your beach trip. Overall a 5/5 stay!

Nice stay
We have younger children, so being able to 'come and go' between the beach and condo was really valuable to us. We did not have to pack tons of snacks and lug them to the beach. We ate, went and played on the beach, and when kids got hungry or tired, we just ducked back into the condo and had a snack/rest.

Beautiful condo
This condo was located just outside of town which was perfect. The beach wasn’t crowded at all. The condo looks like it’s been recently updated. Everything was beautiful and worked great! Everything we could’ve asked for (including some wipes to remove the occasional tar you get on your feet!) it was a very successful and relaxing week.

We had a fantastic time. The condo was very clean was well equipped with everything that one would ever need for an extended stay. The decor was so beautiful - beachy and cheerful. It was a perfect place for us adults to unwind and kids to go wild on the beach; then come home and relax on the balcony and watch a movie before going to bed. The location was great. It felt exclusive and private because it was far from the crowded stretch of the beach. And I must say, that we had front row seating for the most perfect sunrise ever! There is really so much to talk about this beautiful condo. It felt like home but with the feel of an awesome vacation. We didn’t want to leave! We will definitely rent from them again.
