Ocean view

The condo was beautiful! The view of the pool and ocean from the balcony was gorgeous! The only thing I would recommend is repainting the chairs on the balcony. Every time we sat in them we got flakes of white paint an over us.

Perfect for couple getaway

The view from our room was perfect! You had a great view of the pool and an even better view of the beach. And being on the top floor, we didn’t have all the noise from the pool area and people coming in and out. The room was clean, quiet. It was the perfect room for a couples weekend getaway.

Roaches and shower leaks

I have stayed in unit 526 since April 1, 2025. Over the last 13 days I have noticed the shower does not drain properly after use of the shower. Primarily, this issue resulted in the back left corner, near the shower door and permanent bench. Water seems to collect and leak through the wall, into the tile, base board and puddle on the ground. It takes the shower and floor 24-48 hours to completely dry. I tested this by not using the shower for 48 hours. On the base board, upon arriving, I noticed yellow tinting to the grout and caulk line. After each shower I’ve noticed these lines turn dark brown as if they are wet and then dry even more rust colored. By my last day here, the tiles were showing visible saturation lines running 8-12” extending towards the toilet, away from the shower. There were water marks on the tile from the base boards and tiles behind the shower wall, behind the bathroom entry way door. To help alleviate this issue, I began shortening my showers to micro baths as to reduce water saturation. Left the bathroom fan running to reduce moisture. Turned the AC fan on to run constantly and turned it to 74. Since the bath mat would become saturated in the top left corner, I would pick it up and hang on the shower door handle to dry. Additionally, upon arriving on April 1, 2025 there was a Roach and Beetle problem coming from the shower drain. I immediately let the front desk know. This problem persists today. I was guaranteed pest control, canceling 2 vacation day

Port A Get-a-way

The condo and property was very clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was very comfortable and just enough space for us. I loved how close to the beach access we were. The patio overlooking the pool with beach views was so pretty and relaxing. We had a great visit and will definitely be back.

We had a great view of the ocean on one of the upper stories. The room set up beautifully and I especially loved the bathroom. I wished I could have stayed longer since they had a full refrigerator and all the utensils you’d need. The lobby does have a Keurig.

We’ve stayed in many different rooms over the years. The bed was less comfortable than it could have been. Lots of creaking every time we rolled over. The head of the bed had a crevice that our pillows kept falling into. We grabbed extra pillows to stuff back there only to realize the next day that one had a large spot of what looked like blood on it. Not sure how I missed that. I was a red water spot as long and wide as my forearm. The carpets were a little dingy The shower really should have been cleaned much better. The elevator and hot tub only worked intermittently. Unfortunately we ended up leaving a day early just due to weather. Nothing to be done about that part, just sucks to spend 1k on a 3 night stay at the beach . Then be stuck in a less than clean and comfortable condo at that. It was my 37th birthday and I’m just bummed The view from the room was great though

Decent stay

Very clean and the view was stunning! Great location! Bed wasn’t very comfortable and the plug outlets are too far from the bedside. No extra blankets in the room. Elevator #4 sounded a little bad… sound like a belt was loose so we took the extra walk to use a different elevator.

Beautiful view of ocean and pool!

We are a family of 3. We really enjoyed our stay and the condo was very clean! The kitchen has everything I needed to cook for my family. We had a great view of the ocean and also the pool area downstairs. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Everything was great and just what we needed for an end of summer family vacation. We will definitely be back soon!
