Great place!

This place was absolutely beautiful and amazing views! Check in and out process was super easy! Easy access to the beach and the pool had a cover spot to sit! The indoor pool was not open at the time we went. The parking garage is a little difficult and a tight squeeze! But overall everything was great! I would definitely stay here again.

Family Time

The overall experience was good. I knew that there was construction going on with the property and that was clearly conveyed at the beginning of the process. I was a little disappointed that the railing had been removed from the balcony off of the room that my parents were staying in. But they were able to use the front balcony just fine. All in all, we would go back, just after the construction is completed.

Great view and comfortable seats

Great place to rent. It was off season, so we knew we would be in the room a lot more than on the beach. We were perfectly comfortable sitting at the table and playing games, enjoying the tremendous view. Very clean, and the management leading company overseeing the property were extremely quick at addressing any questions or issues with the room. I would definitely rent this unit again, and the management group was very professional and prompt in communication.

Beautiful

The Condo was emasculate! We enjoyed the sunsets and sunrise from the balcony and we able to leave the sliders ajar and listen to the waves as we fell asleep. Only one elevator worked and one afternoon we had to take the stairs down because neither of the elevators worked. Having bad knees and a heart condition made this difficult. Overall a pleasurable experience.
