It was a nice place. Older, but clean. 2 pools that weren't super crowded. Hot tubs were inside locker rooms which was odd. They were not co-ed except for certain times of day. Quiet place. Family friendly. No alcohol allowed at pool or beach. Good place to fish. Wish they had a restaurant on site. Overall, pretty good rental. ##### Suzan G.

Everything was very clean in the room and outside around the property. ##### Crystal W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth O. Aug 24, 2018 #### Spectacular beach and comfortable and quiet stay! Comfortable, warm and clean condo, with everything one needs (except for a crib for the baby). The complex has simple but complete amenities. The best: it has convenient access to the beach within walking distance of the condo. Very nice community and perfect location in the city and on the beach. I recommend it fully! Suggestion: improve the mattress of the bed in the bedroom ##### Ruth O. ### 8/10 Good #### EBONY A. Aug 11, 2018 #### Great stay overall. Only problem was the worn down furniture and water pressure was very low. Other than that, my family had a great time with all that was accessible during our 7 day stay (beach, pool, gym, and basketball/tennis court). Location was prefect not to far from the different excursions you would love to do. Definitely would come again. ##### EBONY A.
