From check in to check out completely satisfied. We loved the location, proximity to the beach which was a 3 min shuttle ride to, countless restaurants to pick from and grocery stores including Walmart within 5 minutes. We had our toddler children with us and they absolutely loved the pool. Everything was clean and felt safe. I HIGHLY recommend staying here and we will certainly return next summer.

My family of 5 stayed and the place was fantastic. Easy check-in process to start off with. Condo was very clean and had everything that you would need to prepare meals. I did bring my own spices but that’s normal to do when staying at a condo. Beds were very comfortable and condo was clean and spacious. They were very responsive when I had a question regarding the condo. The view of the ocean wasn’t as great as I thought it would be but it was nice. The resort itself was great. So much to do and everyone is very friendly. We all had a great time and will definitely book this condo again when coming back!

Great kid friendly place, great location and tons to do at the resort. Would definitely stay again!
Only con is the washer and dryer combo was extremely difficult to figure out and wash clothes and made it a huge inconvenience of a family of 4 for the entire week stay.
