The condo was very clean and spacious. All appliances worked well. The view was beautiful. Plenty of bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths. I would give it a five star but the couches in the living room were completely broken down. When sitting we actually sank down so far we had difficulty getting up. I would suggest that the owner address this issue.

The condo was clean and very spacious. We really enjoyed the large balcony and the layout of the rooms. The only thing we felt needed to be updated was the mattresses in the room with the double beds and a sink stopper for the kitchen sink.

Beautiful quiet and scenic location. Easy access for all of our guests. Things i would ask for improvement, living room furniture. This furniture has seen a better day. Worn out and smelly. Bedrooms were great and comfortable. Kitchen could have used a few more essentials like cookware. Hosts very receptive to requesting help. I would stay again, just update living room furniture. Thanks for your help

Our stay on this property and in 1009 was great! The room was as expected with plenty of room for 4 adults, one child age 7 & one child age 1 yr & 10 months. Loved the swimming pool and the close proximity to the beach. The parking pass a little expensive for a 3 day stay. Most places we have stayed in the past, parking was included.
