Our family enjoyed our Beachball reservation. It was the perfect space, meeting all our needs as we made repeated beach visits. Thank you Beachball for the discounted links on activities available in the area.

Condo is super cute and beds are comfortable. Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. My husband loves to fish so he enjoyed being close to the lagoon in the evening. The only negative that makes me never want to stay here again, is that there is a resident that watches your every single move knowing you are a renter. She told us multiple times what we were doing wrong (we didn't do anything wrong) and even moved my husband's kayak one day while we were gone to the beach bc she didn't like where we were storing it. It is really a shame bc we loved the condo.

Perfect little get-a-way

Quite neighborhood and close to the beach. Perfect for a small family with young children. Within walking distance to the beach. The condo was very clean and welcoming. The patio is weathered and needs updating. This was a perfect fit for us and will be staying here again.

Overall we enjoyed our stay; however, the pictures of the property were misleading. It looked like it was a single structure, but it was attached to another unit. This was incredibly disappointing as this was one of the reasons we chose the property. Additionally, I had to contact (through text) the property manager twice. The first time I reached out they got back pretty quickly. The second time they didn’t respond for two hours. Calling led to leaving a voice mail that also did not garner a quick response. Both times we figured out what we needed prior to their response. There is a pool key in the unit, they don’t tell you where. I suppose you have to play hide and seek prior to being able to use the pool. This is not a fun exercise with three kids staring at you waiting. (Hint: it was in a kitchen drawer.)All of the beds were very uncomfortable. Condo was clean and provided a place to rest in the evenings.
