Older unit

It’s an older unit that could use a little updating. It was clean and functional, no real problems other than a slider that is worn out.

Spacious and close to the beach

Loved the location, close to beach. Pool was great! Two king size beds was the selling point for our group. Kitchen was lean on a few items, like storage containers for cut fruit or left overs. Yes...we cook on vacations. Ample beach equipment. Some chairs and pool noodles may need replaced, salt water and sand wear things out fast! We were on the second floor, while there were flights of stairs it was not horrible. An issue with the keypad lock was quickly resolved! Management was fantastic. Starter pack (soaps, dishsoap, shampoo, TP) was ample enough for our party's 11 day staying. Will consider this location again in the future!

Bay Side vs Ocean Side

I should have known better but living land locked my whole life and not being great with mileage, I didn't realize we were so far from the beaches. There were also 4 flights of stairs even though its on the 2nd floor. I might have missed all of this in the description or not asked enough questions, so I'm not trying to diss the vrbo host. Just an FYI for future renters to bear in mind. My whole mantra the whole trip was im in Florida, so these 2 pieces of info were my only "issues".This was by far one of the nicest kept/cleanest/ cutest decorated VRBOs ive been in. Thank you for such a lovely stay.
