Nice place

It was a very nice property. Upstairs neighbors were a little loud at times, but it didnt effect my stay much at all. The Bed was to firm for me but the recliner was nice to sleep in. I would go back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view and location was fantastic. However, the mattress needs to be replaced in the bedroom, the bathroom could use a paint job or a serious cleaning of the walls above and around the shower and the furniture in the living room and dining room are showing some wear. One of the chairs at the table has a leg that is unstable.

Reviewer Comments: My vacation rental experience was really smooth,I booked the place online on a Sunday afternoon and the following Monday morning I heard from the friendly staff, the customer service was always great. I absolutely loved the condo ,also loved the fact that the actuall resort wasn't so big so it felt like we had our own private beach , when most of the resorts were huge and were full of people. The condo is really cute , great location and just enough space for us. Will defenely book this place again .

The location was great, the condo was very clean, nicely decorated, well equiped and you just couldn't beat the view of the beach. The condo building was well maintained as well. The elevator was a little hot and sometimes musty smelling, but we were thankful to have an elevator in the building. The staff at Brooks and Shorey Resorts was awesome as well. We will definately be back to visit again.
