Great Place and Location

This place was beautiful just as shown ! I liked how big it was as well. The view was spectacular! I loved how both bedrooms opened up to the view and balcony. Everything was so convenient . We could easily go from the heated pool and hot tub to the ocean. We didn’t use the indoor one but nice that we could if we needed to. Tried pickle ball- the courts were awesome . Splurged on Ruth Chris in front of resort which was delicious . Convenient to Walmart and other stores. Would definitely stay in 802 again !

Great Beach Condo

Our condo was exactly as seen in the pictures and had everything we could have wanted for a great stay. Only minor issues were that one key card didn’t work for the pool gates and we had to return to management office to get it working. Second, the main TV couldn’t connect to the Wi-Fi and thus we couldn’t watch Netflix on it. Again, minor… I would highly recommend the unit and Compass was great to work with
