We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect...close to the beach. It was nice to have beach chairs and a couple umbrellas. The beds were great. The kitchen had all of the essentials.
Bring your groceries and everything else is right there. Beach and a few stores walking distance under 10 min. Of course you can explore elsewhere but this is a great place for families
This was a lovely clean condo in a beautifully landscaped resort with several swimming pools and easy access to the shore. We saw many turtles on the beach and it was easy to get into town for scuba diving and other activities. We enjoyed quiet walks around the resort area and swimming in the pools, which were never crowded or noisy.
Property was great, clean and comfortable. Wonderful location. Had some beach items. The cold bag was small so maybe get a cooler while you’re there, and no goggles for snorkeling but had chairs, umbrella, flippers and boogies boards! We will definitely be coming back!
Our family of 5 stayed for 9 days. The location was amazing! A very short walk to the beach and food. The condo was very clean and had everything it advertised. We did have an issue with the main bedroom shower being clogged but we called and they sent someone out that same day to address it! The 3rd bedroom upstairs gets pretty warm in late afternoon even with the air conditioner but not enough to be a huge deal. All 3 bedrooms had air conditioning which was nice. The beds were all comfortable and the pillows were great! We loved using the beach umbrellas, chairs, beach towels and boogie boards available! We would definitely recommend this condo and we would for sure visit again!
Very nice location, unit, and grounds. Appreciated all the kitchen supplies for food prep and the supplies (toiletries, dish soap, etc). Unit is unpleasantly hot for large portions of the daytime whether plantation shudders and small windows are open or closed. The upstairs AC unit was blowing warm air until we discovered a vent on its backside needed adjusting (it was 93 degrees upstairs until 11:30 at night our first night). Overall inefficient cooling of the bedrooms due slatted bedroom doors, and older portable (and noisy) AC units. The place would benefit immensely from central air or at least updated ductless wall units (needed in the living room also). Ran fans continuously, saw at least 2 work trucks installing AC in nearby units during our stay, construction in the adjacent unit daily but they waited until 9 a.m. to start so this did not impact sleep. Would suggest a folding drying rack to allow swimsuits and rash guards to air dry. We skipped the pool after our first dip...it feels heated and not refreshing in summer weather, but the pool area is overall well maintained and empty of people.

Great location but shower doesn't work
The vacation rental is in a great location with walking distance to beaches with access to swimming pools, etc. The kitchen was sufficient to use for breakfast and light meals. The portal A/C was cool enough but could be colder. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the rental. The biggest negative was that this unit was advertised with 3 working bathrooms. The primary bedroom shower did not work. There was a workaround but from communication with management, some renters previously could operate the workaround to get the shower working, and some could not. After a few days of going back and forth, management finally sent out maintenance to look at the shower. Maintenance said they will have to come back to fix and the drain had an issue as well. From a previous review in June/July, the reviewer also said they had drain issues in the same bathroom. So I paid for 3 bathroom house but we had to squeeze everyone into the 2 smaller showers the whole time we were there. So this I am not happy about.
The property itself is beautiful and walking distance to the beach.
The condo is just ok.
The good: close to the beach. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had the appliances and dishes we needed. It served its purpose as a place to sleep and eat breakfast. We were able to do laundry which was nice too.
The not so good: It had to be 90 degrees inside when we arrived. The air conditioners hose upstairs was damaged ( torn off & cracked ) therefore could not be used. We reached out and were told maintenance was working at another property and couldn’t come out until the following day leaving us 24 hours without the ability to use it. Thankfully we found several other fans and toughed it out and kept windows opened which helped.
The shower in the master and hallway does not drain properly. Had to turn off shower 1/2 way thru to let it drain.
There were 3 cockroaches in the kitchen during our 5 day stay.
The master bathroom’s air conditioner leaks and sounds like a heavy rainfall or shower running. Hopefully that will be fixed before next party rents. The toilet does not shut off and the window can not be closed in the bathroom as the outside latch is broken off.
Not enough towels. Thankful for the washer as we washed towels 3x. Towels are not expensive so not sure why they were limited.
I personally would not stay here again but our options were limited since we needed more space. If you are just there to sleep and eat it is ok. Not a place to entertain guest.
The unit was outfitted really well. Air conditioning was great. Super clean and convenient. The managers and owners were really communicative and helpful. Outstanding trip. Thanks so much!
The location was fantastic. Having the two swimming pools was wonderful and being so close to the beach made it a great holiday. Our issue was with the living room. Am extra armchair would have enabled our family of 5 to sit comfortably together and having some air-conditioning in the living room would’ve helped a lot.

Location to beach, pools and walking paths were excellent. Beach, laundry and kitchen amenities met our needs. Close to shopping and dining. Quite atmosphere.
Only things that weren't great was the refrigerator and the beds were really hard, could use ac in the front room, other than that everything else was great
Property is absolutely perfect. Could not be in a better location. Sea turtles and whales a five minute walk every day. Perfect for families wanting to visit the Island.
