Julie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice place, very family friendly. Beachfront with easy access. We enjoyed the pool, and hot-tub. Next time I would book a ground floor condo, to have sliding door access to the grass field. Great for the kiddos. Reasonably priced. I’d go back.

We have stayed here before and were glad to return. The elevator down to our room which was beachside is perfect for my husband who has mobility issues. Also walk in shower in our room. Dishes made it nice to be able to either sit inside or outside and have breaky or lunch.

Norma, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

We stayed in unit 206, which is nice but could use some updating. For example, it has two mismatched wine glasses and the decor is tired. The place is clean, warm, and has a great view.
Richard, 2-night trip

Loved how spacious the room was for my three friends and I! We had a blast here and will definitely be coming back.
