We absolutely loved the condo! It's close to the beach and the way it's set up is so wonderful if you have older kids and want a little separation. The owner's suite is on the first floor with the remainder of the rooms above. It gives such a nice sense of privacy and seclusion to enjoy a little time alone in the room or out on the beautiful secluded patio. Everything you could need is in the unit and the beach is a short walk. Just an overall amazing experience!!

The location of this property is amazing. That being said, bathrooms and kitchen are definitely worn. Biggest issue is that the master bedroom is incredibly hot and does not get any air flow, no matter what you do. It needs an air conditioner downstairs to be livable (upstairs has an air conditioner). The beach chairs and boogie boards also need to be replaced. Overall the location makes the rental, but in order to rent in future, would need these updates.

Nice property real close to the beach. Great service from agency. Boogie boards in garage are no good. Bring your own. Perfect stay and just what we needed. Will book again for sure.

Check in was a bit delayed due to plumber needing to fix an issue in the downstairs bathroom. The one bedroom/bathroom are on the 1st floor. It shares a wall with the garage in the other unit, which is very loud in this room (and upstairs bedroom) when operating. The location is good, though it is on a corner so you hear a lot of traffic and people noise if the windows are open. It could be a great place if it was maintained better and cleaned well. It advertises that it is cleaned "according to CDC cleaning guidelines", but this isn't true. The dirty fingerprint marks on frequently touched areas like doorknobs and light switches indicated that it doesn't get a thorough disinfecting. There were so many fingerprint marks on the walls in the kids' bedroom that I didn't let my son sleep in it. I had to wipe down all the doors and touch points in the house before we entered because it was clear that it hadn't been done in a while. There was a mildew odor, and all of our clothes smelled like it once we got back home and opened our suitcase. The bottom of the shower curtain had mold/mildew so I bought a new one to use while we were there. Like others reviewers have mentioned, the sofa is extremely uncomfortable due to a lack of padding and springs poking up. However, the beds were very comfortable. When we checked out, I noticed that the cleaning crew didn't wear gloves or masks when entering the property - again, not up to covid-19 cleaning guidelines. Overall, it could be a really nice property, deserving of the higher price, but I would never stay here again due to it's poor maintenance and lack of cleanliness.
