We enjoyed our stay very much. The space was perfect for our family. Clean and spacious for us to be together but still have our own space. I just wish we would have had more beach towels. Will stay there again.

Spacious, Peaceful, Perfection

Property was very spacious, impeccably maintained, and perfect location! Resort was right on the beach, everything was beautifully maintained, pool was warm and wonderful, and the beach was just about the best (if you like calm, gentle waves) that I have ever seen (even better than Siesta Key Beach!). Soft, gorgeous sand and almost crystal clear blue water. Staff was super-helpful and kind, very accommodating. Rooms were even larger (and better quality) then the pictures conveyed. I can't recommend this place enough!

Not What We Expected for a $553 a Night - Two Night Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful, well-furnished condo with awesome beach access. However, light bulbs were burnt out in 2 of the lamps,blinds were broken in 1 BR, refrigerator was very noisy,toilet base was wobbly in BR 1, large kitchen wall clock didn't work,front door lock needed repair, found live cockroaches in kitchen, all windows were filthy, canvas awning on patio needed repair, traffic noise made it difficult to sleep, small water heater made it hard for all 4 people to take warm showers. Very disappointed for paying this kind of money!

Average experience

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was nice and right on the beach. The room was average at best. wasn’t very clean and it is a little rundown and worn out. Nothing smelled clean and it was shabby. Needs paint and a good deep clean. The family room area rug is old and worn out and was curling up which was a tripping issue. Wouldn’t stay again

Wonderful property right on the beach!

Had a wonderful long weekend here with extended family. Unit was clean, fantastic location steps from the powdery white sand beach. Great that they had lounge chairs for us to use. Nice pool with pool toys available as well. Harry's market right down the road was perfect for our food/drink needs. Free gym pass to a gym within walking distance was wonderful also.

Wonderful family space

Clean inside and out! Great beach access. Wonderful staff cleaning the grounds daily. Our space was perfect for parents with adult children age 18-24. We could easily rise early and the kids not hear us. Had beach chairs and other items to borrow for the beach. Full kitchen and awesome gas grills at the pool!

Beautiful, spacious room

Our suite was a large, 3-bedroom suite. While we only stayed for the night, it would be a great place for a large family to stay for an extended vacation. There are three large rooms and one of them had its own en suite bathroom and mini kitchen, in addition to the large kitchen in the suite. There is a large outdoor balcony, as well. I wish the suite had a waterfront view, though. It would also be nice to have a bathroom near the pool because otherwise you have to go to your room from the beach/pool. The beach is beautiful and the pool was big and clean and had nice, fun lights at night!
