"My family and I really enjoyed this gorgeous condo. The resort does not have its own pool, but you get access to an athletic club across the street. The pool, hot tub, gym, slide, restaurant was really neat. Unfortunately for us, a large group of rude tourists came in yelling and knocking chairs and screaming in our ears and just carrying on like they owned the place and everyone else was in the way. We didn’t go back."

"Super cute home and beautiful property. Owner was easy to contact and quick to respond. We would definitely recommend and stay again. We loved the back porch, having a private pool and the view. Notes to future renters…The front door lock is tricky. Lock from inside and turn handle to see if the latch doesn’t retract. Reviews that say the beach is 15 minute WALK, are not accurate. The quickest beach is about 25 minutes at brisk pace. There are several beach options in about a 10 minute drive. (Owners listing is accurate for proximity) Location is great, shopping and coffee/restaurants about 20 minute walk away. Lots of shops and food in 10 minute drive radius."
