Our stay at the condo was wonderful. We loved the condo location and how close it was to the beach! All the rooms were clean and so comfortable! We really enjoyed being able to go to the beach and then mid-day come back to the condo for a quick lunch then back to the beach! Sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening was so relaxing. Wonderful place and we will definitely go back!

There are no words to describe the success of this vacation. The ease of the reservation. The almost instant personal communication from our host. The recommendations of activity and food options for our little window of time. The amazingly stocked condo with everything you could need. Clean, well decorated with incredible views. Incredible!We truly felt as though we were visiting friends and can not express how seamless this trip was! We will be back.KeithTexasl

Great cabin fever get away!

We had a wonderful week here. The condo was perfect. Being right there on the beach is where we wanted to be and we really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony whenever we were at the condo. We did have one issue that came up, but it was immediately looked into and taken care of. We will definitely be staying here again!

Great property with great hosts!

Thai condo is everything you see in the pictures. The view is stunning and this condo has everything you could possibly need! The owners are wonderful! She even called when we got lost to make sure we were at the right place. The only complaints are building related and nothing related to the owners. We stayed the week of the 4th of July (great views of the firework show by the way) and it was crowded. We had to look hard for parking and had to wait forevor on elevators. However this is a building issue and not related to this unit or its owners. I would stay here again!
