Great place for a quick trip
Reviewed on 2024-09-03 by , Madison, MS USGirls weekend, great place to stay. King bed was very comfortable and the condo was clean. The TV remote was missing the cover and had the batteries taped in. The living room TV was not a smart TV so no binging Netflix on the couch but the TV is the bedroom was. Not alot of extra spaces BUT perfect for a girls trip or a couple getaway. Great beach access. The parking voucher is an additional charge and it was $50 (which was a little pricey in my opinion).

IWW 475
Reviewed on 2024-07-27 by Andrea T. , Cordova, TN UnknownWonderful location, very clean, AC was working perfectly. However there was not much storage- the bed takes up 90% of the bedroom so accessing the dresser was difficult. There is only one mirror and it’s not full length. Not a big deal just an fyi. Also, even if you pay for parking online you still need to go to the office to get a ticket for your windshield. It was just my husband and I so it was a good size for us, but I couldn’t imagine sharing the space with more than 2 adults and maybe a child.

GREAT LOCATION!

Disappointed!!!
Reviewed on 2023-10-12 by Holly D. , Huntsville, AL USThe location was good, the bed was too hard and uncomfortable and there was literally no room to get around it without squeezing by the dresser. There is no bathroom in the lobby or by the pool which is a huge inconvenience. There are two elevators but at no point in our stay did both work properly at the same time and we got stuck in one for ten minutes. There were a few other ppl on different occasions who also got stuck. I would not recommend at all.

Very Dissapointed
Reviewed on 2023-09-25 by , Birmingham, AL USThe serene beach view picture is very deceiving. What you don't see directly below is a service entrance with trash pick up noise and delivery before dawn, the pool is directly to the right with screaming kids and loud music until 11:00 pm, the boardwalk is double the length that you see with non stop foot traffic and the grilling station is there. All you smell is lighter fluid at the dinner hour. The coffee maker did not work. The unit's furniture is in dior need of upgradeing. Good Luck enjoying your stay.. The people above me smoked on the balcony, so I could not enjoy the sunrise, or the sunset without smelling smoke. The front door of the unit is not secure. There is no deadbolt and the code entry eliminates the use of a key, but it does not provide a secure lock. It was loose, and did not lock from the outside. I was stuck on the elevator, it did not move, and thankfully I was able to have the door open to get off eventually. It was stuck to go down. I reported it, and nothing was posted on the elevator, " under repair." afterward. The building is dirty. It has not been upgraded since it has been built. Please don't waste your money.

Reviewed on 2021-07-04 by , Washington, OK United StatesThe location was great, the unit itself is nice, however, the bathroom wasn’t cleaned the best when we arrived. The facilities outside of the unit was very dirty and run down. I would have felt better if our unit at least had a dead bolt locking system.

Condo was as pictured and more! Very clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked and located in the perfect ocean view spot. We loved it so much that we extended another day. Management office was easy to work with and answered all of our questions when we reached out. If we could have changed anything, it would have been the mattress on the pull out sofa and the bathroom towels. <br/>Will definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our room however the floors weren’t clean.
