Great location with quick and easy beach access and a great view from the balcony. Communication with host/property management was great and quick responses when needed. The room was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. Some areas could use a deep clean, like baseboards, walls, under beds, and living room furniture. The couches (fabric) looked dirty, so we didn’t use them at all and the balcony table and chairs were dirty and needed cleaned before we could use them. Our biggest disappointment was the pool. It is very small, and has very limited patio space. The size would have been ok if other guests were respectful. Most days the pool was busy and other guests were rowdy and playing music very loudly, kids being unruly while parents ignored behaviors, making it difficult to enjoy it ourselves. There isn’t anyone there to manage the property, and diminish behaviors like that, so we just felt the need to avoid the space. Price was definitely higher for what I have paid in the past for a building of its age and amenities, but overall, our stay was enjoyable.

Location was perfect, had all the amenities to make your stay feel like home. The ONLY negative we have is the elevator broke a couple of days during our stay and did not get repaired so we had to use the stairs and we were on the 6th floor.

Summer Vacation
The location and view was wonderful. The pull out couch was unsleepable so the meant two people had to sleep on the floor. This unit definitely needs some upgrades and a new sofa. Tried using the washing machine and it’s extremely loud. The hallway toilet we had to fix twice. A piece of the fridge shelf on the door broke. All in all we had a great trip but the place needs some upgrades.

When we arrived the handle on the sliding glass door was hanging by a screw. One of the cabinet doors fell off the hinges twice during our stay. The couch and living room chairs were filthy. We had to cover the couch with a blanket to sit on it. The pool was greeen.

Enjoyed our stay
The location of this property was fantastic, right on the beach. It is a very comfortable condo with all the basic needs met.
We had one issue that was resolved immediately after reporting. Management company was fantastic to work with. We also loved that carts were provided to help bring luggage up and down. Property was nice but could use a pinch of updating in some areas. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Towels were really nice too.
We didn't realize that all the doors are to the outside of the building and the walkways are narrow so those who are afraid of heights may have issues with higher floors.

Upon arrival, the common areas were in the process of being updated, so first impression was a bit disappointing, and the elevator was not working causing us to carry our luggage and groceries up 7 flights of stairs. The elevator was back in service the following day. Upon entering the condo, the living room blinds had broken tabs and were not hanging properly, and the sofa appeared to have stains on it, which we just covered with a comforter from the closet. Upon talking with the manager, they were unaware of the broken blinds and assured us the sofa had been professionally cleaned and was to have had a covering on it as some of the stains did not come out. With the exceptions above, the condo itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I appreciated the flooring, which was clean and free from not carpet. The views of, and proximity to the beach were fantastic. We rode bike in the State Park and felt very comfortable riding the short distance along the highway until we reached the bike trails. We did not use the pool as it was not heated and the air temperatures were not conducive to swimming in the poolOverall, this is a nice unit, and I hope to stay here again in the future.

Perfect place for us!
This was perfect for our group of 4 friends. Some reviewers stated that it could be cleaner or needed paint, but we found it to be clean enough & it smelled clean. The cosmetic stuff doesn’t impact the comfort of the place. The beds & couch were comfy. The only complaint we had was that the dining chairs & matching bar stools seats were very small & hard. We like to play cards and dominoes in the evenings and we had to sit on pillows. The location is right in the middle of everything & the office staff checked in with us to see that everything was as it should be. The price was reasonable for retirees on a budget & we would stay there again. If you want to stay in a fancy place, then expect to pay a fancy place price.

Holy cow!
Arrived on Saturday. The elevator did NOT work. Being on the 6th floor (7 flights of steps) is not acceptable. Called the management company. It was several hours before it was fixed. On Sunday, the elevator again did NOT work. Upon arrival, a kitchen cabinet was broke off, the handle to the sliding door was coming off, there was previous renters trash there. All was fixed while there, but should not have to come in like that. The furniture is very worn and dirty. I get that it's rental property, but... The location and view were great, but for the money, i believe there could be somewhere nicer.

Disappointed with the Condo
This is an older property, not well maintained, dirty and has an elevator that randomly works. In the 5 weeks we were there, the elevator stopped working weekly, sometimes daily. Stairwells and outside hallways need lighting that works. The unit is very dated and was not well cleaned. We washed bath mats upon arrival as they were very dirty. Wet beach toys and inflatables were thrown into guest bedroom closet rendering it useless until it was sorted out and neatly placed back in closet. Shower curtain liner was moldy along base. The couch was so soiled we covered it with a bedspread and one of the living room chairs had a broken base so it could not be used. All the above was brought to the attention of the property manager.
The location and view were great!

Love the unit… The building not so much
The unit itself was very nice. The master bedroom and bathroom were spacious and updated. The extra bedroom was a good size for a few kids to share, and the living area/kitchen was big enough to be comfortable. We cooked spaghetti once and made breakfast every day, and the kitchen was well stocked enough for us to have all we needed for those simple meals. We really enjoyed the unit. It was a good choice for our family of six… not too big but not too small. Lots of together time. That being said… Here are some reasons we give this property three stars. It’s all about the condo in general. It is very old and in need of some aesthetic and practical updates and repairs. Construction and remodeling is underway, so that’s a good thing, but we were not expecting it. That led to very loud construction noises at any point during the day. It was especially disturbing when we were wanting to enjoy our morning coffee on the balcony. (Granted, it was about 9am when they started, we just were not expecting this.)Another (and by far the biggest) inconvenience is that the elevator was broken off and on the whole time we were there. All in all, it may have been working half the time. It was broken when we got there, so we brought all our luggage up six flights of stairs. Then all the groceries for six people had to come all the way up the stairs. Then the beach gear had to go all the way down the stairs. And back up…. And then when it finally was working again it looked really sketchy.

I was afraid to touch anything. The shelf w mirror on the wall inside the door w hooks on it almost fell off the wall when I hung a t-shirt on it. The tv mount exstends out in a way that it looks like it's gona fall off the wall. The guest shower curtain is rusted and looks like its gona fall due to it's not even flush with the wall. The master bed is hard as a rock. Paid a cleaning fee but there were spider webs literally in the windows and ceiling. There is not a comfortable seat anywhere in the place. The couch is dirty with stains. The dining table was something I'd have outside w metal chairs. Walk outside on the balcony and look to your right and there was a man literally looking at me face to face. No privacy at all. The curtains in the living room are broken so you can't close the blinds for privacy or to block the glare while trying to watch a football game. I have pictures of everything I have mentioned in this post. I did report these same things to the Poole company on their review paper that was left at the condo. The review page from the previous guest mentioned all of these same things i have mentioned on their sheet that was left there. The Poole company people were great. I did not have to go by office for the key due to door has a key code.
I also did not like that i paid $170 more for this condo when I had a condo at Lani Kaii that was nicer and included 2 parking spaces. I will never stay at this facility again. It got us through the Shrimp Fest !
