Dirtiest place I have ever stayed. Not safe!
The pictures did not match the listing in that furniture had changed out and was worse than what was in the picture. The bed was so old it looked like two dead swayback horses. The apartment was so dirty. There were dirt marks on the walls holes in the walls and the ceiling was falling down in the kitchen. There was food, stuck to the stove and the coffee maker still had coffee in the Craft. There was mold coming out from around the light switches and the baseboards by the patio door. The patio door wouldn’t even lock so someone could come through and get into the condo from the outside. if we got to the condo earlier, we wouldn’t have even stayed the first night and found someplace else to stay. We ended up leaving first thing in the morning and going someplace else. The complex claims it’s going through a renovation, but it looks more like severe structural damage, and not sure it’s even safe to be there.

Excellent Oceanfront Property
I will rate 5 stars to the property and the house. Perfect location, just 2 minutes to the beach. Cozy atmosphere, clean swimming pools. I visited with my 4 family members during labor-day weekend. Everyone enjoyed staying there and took a lot of pictures of the beautiful scenic view of the ocean. Check-in process was simple and easy. We did not find any safety issues on the property. Everyone seems friendly. Will come back soon.

Perfect getaway
We were so lucky to find this listing. The location was perfect. The condo was clean and roomy. Having 2 1/2 baths was definitely a plus! The main building was under construction, but it didn't bother us at all. The staff was friendly. Just be careful when parking. We did receive a parking violation. We had 2 cars with us, parked in one of the double parking spots. We left for dinner and pulled one car up, so we would not get blocked in by a stranger. We thought that was ok since we paid for 2 spots. When we returned from dinner, we had a parking violation on our other vehicle. So just be cautious about that. We were not the only ones to receive the violation. Also, there are about 10 steps up to this unit, after the elevator. That made it tough taking the cooler to and from the pool/beach. You will not be able to roll it in. Other than that, everything was great! We would definitely stay again.

Lots of space
This place was clean and spacious. The balcony shows views of the pool and beach. We were confused about checking in on their app but were able to reach them quickly for help. If renting this unit, keep in mind that the glass tables are not small child friendly, the elevators didn't work most of the time, and patio doors didn't lock well or at all.

Great condo!
Our family and dog had a great time staying at this condo! It is exactly as represented in the photos. The front door combo is timed, so it will accept your key code exactly at check in time. Walking in, the condo smelled clean (like Fabuloso!) and was comfortable. The pool is pretty and its nice being walking distance to a few activities, but not right in the chaos. The condo was perfect, but the building and grounds itself needs some work. Theres quite a bit of cosmetic updating needed, the dog park is sand and overgrown with weeds, and the grounds needed more general cleaning up. Our only drawback to the condo itself is there are 10 unavoidable stairs to get to the front door. So rolling heavy luggage or coolers inside in a cart or wagon isnt possible.

Great location, amazing pool, great condo! The only things I would suggest is having pool/beach towels for guests. Also, a few laundry pods would be great so people could wash the towels they use. After being in the pool and beach, the towels start to get smelly. Other than that, it was fabulous!

Best pool!
We really enjoyed our stay! The condo was perfect loved the view of the pool and ocean from our balcony. We didn’t have any issues with the wait time for our elevator. During the wk the property was practically empty. My only complaint is the heated pool was definitely not heated. Luckily we had some very hot days so all the pools although they were cold we’re still usable. I wish the condo would of had some items for people to use such as a cooler, maybe some sand toys. Just some things for folks that fly in like we did could use during our stay. But we would definitely stay in this condo again.

Great place! Big enough do we didn’t feel all cramped in the condo. Full size kitchen and washer and dryer in unit. If I had one complaint it would be that I wished the patio furniture was nicer and that the patio was covered. But that’s the tiniest of complaints, everything else was excellent and way above average.

The photos and descriptions are accurate Except don’t count on the pullout couch. It is broken and per previous reviews has been since Aug 2020. Frame is broken making it impossible to sleep on. We had to improvise Other than that it was just as nice as the pictures I would definitely recommend this property
