Relaxing Vacation

The rental was very nice and comfortable. We loved that we could all relax in the living room to watch movies and there was a big dining room table right there to work a jigsaw puzzle on. Watching the sunset over the bay was beautiful in the evenings. We would definitely go back!

Perfect for a girls trip!

The condo was very convenient for our group of 5 adult women. We appreciated getting away and not having to share beds. Enough bathrooms to accommodate all of us getting ready. The Pointe West complex was great as we liked the pools better than the sand. The beach access and pool access was great, enough parking that we could easily drive (in the heat) to get where we needed to go. Definitely take your bug spray though!

My review

The property was nice, however, website was misleading and should have stated that the amenities (pools) had an additional charge (25 per person). No deadbolt on main door which allowed kids to open the door from the inside. Clothes dryer knobs broken. Dishes in cupboard were dirty. Killed four roaches in 3 days. Dirt and dust under beds. Pots and pans need to be replaced. Beautiful views and plenty of space. Nice but room for improvement.
