"We loved it here! The view was great and everything was really clean. We had a little trouble with the air conditioning freezing up/not maintaining temperature a couple of nights, but I didn’t communicate it to the host until after we checked out. I’m sure they would have gladly assisted if we had, as they were always responsive with booking and checking in. We would definitely stay here again."

Stayed July 2024
"We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was spacious, with a nice view and prime location. We enjoyed the pool, walkway to the beach, and beach bar. Having beach service was really convenient with two little kids, so overall the amenities were nice. Host was responsive to questions prior to the trip and check in and check out instructions were clear. We did run into an issue on our last 2 days where the AC wasn't working, which in Florida in July wasn't ideal. However, the host did respond in a timely manner with a troubleshooting option. Just wish we were told in advance to expect an issue or offered something to compensate."
Stayed June 2024
"Place was tidy and nice. Location was the best thing. Only concern is we had the issue with blockage in one bathroom which left us with one bathroom for all of us to use.
Probably, due to sand accumulation, water wasn’t draining out in common bath.
Otherwise, had a nice stay. Would recommend."

"We did 3 nights at this rental. We would be 3 adults, 2 kids, and an infant. The condo was big enough for us. The water and beach were beautiful during our stay. Condo was very clean when we arrived. Be prepared, we were informed pre-arrival but you can not enter the condo early. The beach passes were inside the room. Beach public access is nearby if you need to waste time waiting on the room. Overall great time! "
