We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and plenty of room for the 2 of us. It had all the accommodations we needed. We loved that it was on the beach and walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. Only thing is it did have a bad smell, I think it was coming from the kitchen sink. We would stay there again.

Great Place / location!

Overall the place was great! Our Cancun trip got canceled due to the hurricane and we booked this condo just 2 days before arrival. It was just what we needed, kitchen was well stocked, comfy bed and best part was ocean view from balcony! Lots of walkable places to eat, shop and have dessert! Safe and was so quiet. We enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing Stay

Nothing fancy about this unit. It has all the basics to enjoy your stay. Only weird thing is bed is located near the front door and is open to entryway. If you have additional, guests, privacy will be a concern. Location is superb and property along with the unit are very clean. Enjoyed our stay.

AVERAGE

Overall the stay was good. We were disappointed at how small the unit was. Didn't like being by the elevator and the bed being at the front door entrance. The ice maker did not work. Probably would not stay in this unit again.

Great location! Just do NOT stay in first floor!!

Prefect location, no issues and very happy with it all EXCEPT do NOT choose first floor. Our room was in the middle and you can not see from balcony unless standing up and to our right was nothing but a cement wall! Only could see beach if standing up and looking hard left. Only complaint. I would stay again but another level. They do need to put accurate balcony photos of those rooms that have a cement wall for viewing.

Broken vacuum

The vacuum was broken and actually blew sand out rather than picking it up. We left a new broom and dustpan behind but figured y'all need to know the vacuum doesn't work. Other than that, we were very impressed with the number of property staff on site at all times and how friendly and professional they were. Check in was also a pleasant experience!

Beautiful view of the ocean

We enjoyed our stay. The space was very comfortable and we enjoyed the separation of rooms, both with t.vs. for added privacy. We liked the beachy decor. The room is right down the steps to the beach! My son enjoyed the pool. The additional outside showering area was very helpful in getting off the fine sand. The complex is right in the downtown area and very close to restaurants and souvenir/beach necessity shopping. Only thing we wished the room provided was dish soap, extra toilet paper and coffee filters. The paper towels and spray cleaner were appreciated during this time of Covid, thanks!

A much needed beach getaway

The condo was clean. Being on the first floor was a benefit and the stairs are close by. Checking not till 5 I thought was a bit ridiculous. The bathroom needs an upgrade and the bedroom tv only worked if the livingroom tv was not on. The bed was very comfy and the beach was clean and beautfiul. Plenty of kitchen supplies.
