Beautiful corner condo with a great view of the bay. Condo is roomy and was perfect for our family of 8 to include all grown children and one early teen. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything you need to make a great meal, plenty of linens and towels. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Beyond Amazing!

Very clean and simply gorgeous. I just wanted to hang out on the huge patio when i want floating in the lazy river. The master bath is bigger than an RV! The lazy river takes 5 minutes to make a complete lap. Getting to the ocean is easy.

Large Comfortable Condo with a huge patio

I would definitely reccomend this location. We came with 6 adult couples but the condo would be great for familys as well (There are multiple swimming pools and a lazy river) 3 bathrooms which was wonderful! This is a great location if you have a boat as there are slips you can rent at the condo and a Marina close by. The location is very convenient. There is a nice bayside view. We utilized the large patio every day. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Plenty of wildlife to see. I prefer the bayside water and view but if you want to enjoy the beach there is a walking bridge to the beach. They rent chairs and umbrellas and there is a wagon at the condo for you to carry other items. Fishing charters and boat rentals right next door. The kitchen is well stocked but there is only a Keurig so you will need K-cups for coffee. Property management was very responsive. We actually had to reach out to them because we stayed an extra day!

Beautiful condo

The condo was gorgeous and very spacious for our family of five adults and five children. Very short walk to the beach across pedestrian bridge. Most of our time was spent at the lazy River to make the kids have a memorable experience. Awesome customer service. We arrived in 3 separate cars and found that there were only 2 parking passes. I called and within a few minutes another two parking passes were delivered to our condo. The only cons were that there was a keurig one cup coffee machine only when we have 3 2 cup coffee drinkers and we ended up purchasing a coffee machine at Publix. The other complaint was the pillows. Some where really hard and others didn’t have enough stuffing to be supportive. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay at this condo again and highly recommend to others.

Great memories made

Was disappointed the jacuzzi tube wasn't working. Knobs were off the tube. At our age we were looking forward to being able to use that to help with aches and pains from walking around all day. We feel like we should get money back because this was a huge reason we rented this type of condo. There was also a bar of soap left in shower that had hair on it from private areas of the body from previous renter. Didn't like having to deal with disposing of that. Which made us think unit wasn't very clean. Floors were also dirty. We usually stay at this location at least once a year, and sometimes twice a year. We really enjoy the area. Would like credit for the problems we had with this stay, other than the problems we enjoyed time with our family.

This condo is fantastic. Its super spacious and just so well appointed. The beds are amazing. Everyone said they had the beat sleep they'd ever had. We did a quick weekend with our kids and grandkids and they all want to book our family vacation here for next year.The only thing... this isnt a criticism just so folks know, while the kitchen is very well stocked with pots and pans, bakeware etc, you need to bring everything to cook with. Even salt and pepper. I didnt even think about packing that. Just plan for that. The lazy river was a family favorite. Our 5 year old granddaughter loved it and said it was one of the best beach trips!
