Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rough start, but good stay We arrived to a hot condo. I immediately let the owners know, but we were unable to resolve the AC problem. The owners were very nice about it, but offered no concession or remediation for being in a room for 24 hours with AC (80-81 temps that night and the next day till 3 PM) VRBO support is a JOKE! They cut me off several times! After the AC was fixed we had a good trip. 1/3 of our vacation was lost, but managed to get through the other 2/3 just fine. I appreciate the response, but we dealt with hardly any sleep and a day without air in 90 weather at the beach. Hopefully someone will check before the next stay. GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH VRBO SUPPORT! Terrible!!! ##### Chad H.

Jul 13, 2023 #### Perfectly Enjoyable this was a great efficiency size condo with a lovely view. the appliances were slightly dated, but in perfect working order. there was a slight cat urine smell upon first entering the room, but likely unrelated to this specific unit. there was a great view of the beach, no long wait times for elevators and the laundry access was very convenient. the pool area and beach access were absolutely wonderful. security staff was friendly our room was the perfect choice. will be booking again! ##### Brandon L.
