Nice place if you have a compact car. The covered parking spaces were very small so we had a hard time parking our Yukon, it only fit in a few places. There were spaces marked Compact Car, but those people parked in the bigger spots. People working there were very friendly. They should do work on their water pressure and heat level for the shower. Nice layout for a 3 bedroom condo. We enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here as a group of six adults and one baby, and I was genuinely impressed. The place was spotless, very comfortable, and incredibly convenient. It’s close to golf courses, the beach, and all the facilities you might need. Parking was easy and never a problem. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere made our stay really enjoyable. I definitely recommend this place and would happily come back. Great experience!

Perfect location. We could walk to the beach. We enjoyed staying here with family with 6. The room was spacious, there were 4 beds. You need to wash the towels though. The only bad thing was the parking lot. Pretty tight.

The staff is very friendly. The location is in a great location, not far from the beach. And the property has great amenities with a heated pool, hot tub workout gym, easy access to bikes.

Very nice rooms, 2 pools to choose from, lots of outdoor spaces to grill and eat. Very close to the beach access. Elevators and carts to haul your stuff in and out. The only negative is the parking garage, very small and hard to maneuver, I wouldn't recommend bringing a larger truck here.

Stayed here with family week after July 4th. Rooms could use updates everything worked, only cable TV. Big family pool could use better clean routine on the tiles lining the top. Water was clean. Parking for oversize vehicles is outside the deck. Under the building parking is tight. Walk to the beach with teenagers is 10 min walk. maintenance crew is kept busy, our hallway has loud fan and some do not have light covers.

The service was truly a 6 out of 5 star experience. We arrived shortly after the front office had closed but they had a way for us to get into our room even after they were gone for the day. The room that we had actually had AC problems, so when we called the front desk on the second day when they were open, they had maintenance out within 5 minutes, and they had a mobile AC unit installed immediately so that way it would cool the room down while they worked on the AC. It turns out there was a Freon leak, but they were able to recharge and resolve the issue so that the rest of our stay was nice and cool. The suite itself was clean, spacious and very comfortable. The three bedroom three bathroom was able to comfortably fit eight people. The individual bedroom walls are a little thin so noise might wake you up if you're a light sleeper. Parking is a bit tight for larger vehicles underneath the building. There is handicapped parking next to the elevator which was nice. The pool was nice and clean, but the jacuzzi water had a strange smell to it. Otherwise the overall facility and area was nice and clean and was very quiet and relaxing. Overall, we hope to stay here again as the experience was phenomenal.
