The place was just as advertised. Clean and restful and only steps from the beautiful white sand beaches. Fantastic food nearby. Hope to come back next September.
This condo was perfect for our family vacation. Spacious, updated and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped.
Will definitely book again!
If you want relaxation and sand for miles, then this is the condo for you. It is comfortable and has all the upgrades but the view is hands down the best I've seen yet!
We so enjoyed the room and especially the location that was private and very close to the beach. View was fantastic. There were a few spots in the kitchen that weren’t cleaned thoroughly. I would love to stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was wonderful and the views were amazing. There were 7 of us and plenty of room for all. We would definitely stay again.
The condo was amazing and beautiful. It was clean and had everything we needed (pots, pans, plates, etc) to cook. The decor was gorgeous too. The view was perfect and the distance to the beach was great for my daughter to get the kids and all their stuff down to easily.
We have been doing our girl’s trip to the beach for 30+ years. This condo was perfect and the location was fabulous. We are already looking to book for next trip.
The condo and location are fabulous. We loved being right on the gulf. Would have liked a few hot pads/pot holders in the kitchen. Loved the huge kitchen. Don't know why when taking the elevators down, they most often stopped on the 6th floor.
The condo had amazing views! Recent interior updates were very nice. Only had 2 suggestions: typed instructions on how to clise sliding doors. Repair ice maker in dinimg room. It made noise nonstop the whole visit.
The space was clean & was very nice with the (2) queens & a king beds there was plenty of room for everyone, we had stay next door @ the Leilani several times & this condo is as nice if not nicer than over there we will definitely check for a space here again in the future.
Everything is just as the description says. This condo has spectacular views to the West. If you’re looking for a property that is quiet, convenient and comfortable this is it. We will be staying here again.
