I cannot say enough good things about this condo. The view was beautiful, the location was perfect right next door to Whaler’s village, and the condo was very clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed the beach walking path and it was perfect for evening strolls. We had great communication with the host and were able to get a later checkout which was perfect because we had a red-eye flight that night. The pineapple iced tea in the lobby and by the pool is delicious!

Amazing location with a great view. Short walk to Black Rock snorkelling area and excellent amenities in the pool and koi pond. Easy access to the beach and to markets and food court at Whalers Village. Very clean and good space for storage. Pull-out bed was as comfortable as one might expect it to be.

Very Clean unit. Having the beach chairs available was a plus. Kitchen is well furnished with all small appliances like toaster and coffee maker, pots and pans. Having the laundry very close by was a big help. View is great off balcony. Very firm mattress on bed. Close to elevator makes it very convenient especially when carrying groceries and luggage.

The beach view was okay, but I thought the picture I saw when I rented showed that we could see some of Black Rock. The picture with this review is a more accurate picture. I could be confusing a different room when I was booking.
