Puke smell, itchy bed, no kitchen light for stove
I wasn’t going to do a review because of me being too nice… but it needs to be told. At arrival condo wreaked like puke, I luckily found one swiffer mopping cloth so I mopped it, smell seemed to dissipate but lingered. When bed time came, we both began itching..yet fell asleep tired from busy day. I woke up itchy and slept on couch. Next day and rest of stay decided to use fold out couch, uncomfortable.. We had to request kitchen light too. Sad that our stay wasn’t more important..cuz these issues shouldn’t have occurred. When I informed owner of condo of issues, no reply.. I hope issues are resolved for future guests. By the way, the basket with possible needed items only had tv remote in it.

Cute and Comfortable
Nice condo, and complex is average for location. Nothing is in walking distance but the complex is nice and the pools were well cared for. The apartment was nice and we were comfortable. The complex does allow pets and the dog park was liked by my little Velma. Would stay in this location again.

Simply Awesome!!
My background is in hotel management and in my best judgment I can honestly say that this unit is Up! There with the Best! Very nice, clean, secluded, attractive, comfortable and packed with amenities. The host does a very good job communicating, and he seems to have thought about every aspect of our trip as the unit addresses all of our needs, and more. We parked right by the unit; the kids ABSOLUTELY LOVED the separate room with the bunk beds. We enjoyed the pool and the relaxation we were able to get while there. I simply loved the washer/dryer combo in the restroom--what a novel idea! Had all the kids put their clothes in the wash as they showered--it just made life simpler. The property is well-maintained, and the staff are visible providing service and security. Although the property was built in the 60's, this unit is thoroughly renovated to an upscale, contemporary, gorgeous hideaway that far exceed our expectations. We'll definitely be back!

I loved this property. I thought the location was fantastic- far enough from the hectic areas and quiet enough for relaxation yet close to it all. We loved the pools and the parking was great. All and all my son and I would love to stay here again.

Great for families
We came up to celebrate my daughter’s birthday as a family. The condo exceeded our expectations. It was cute and felt like a home. The balcony was in the perfect spot, overlooking the quieter pool. After a long day of driving it was the perfect place to just relax while I could watch the older kids explore downstairs. The owners have taken such good care to make sure you have everything you need. I’m an over-packer and forgot some things, but they were there waiting for us when we got there. This was the first time I booked with Vrbo or any other rental and I didn’t know what to expect, but it was a great family trip and I’m glad we booked it.

Great for small family
We really enjoyed our stay! The rental was very cozy and clean. The noise from upstairs was a little crazy but it may not always be that way. The only minor suggestion would be actual twin bedding for the bunk beds. It was ok but frustrating for our daughter with Down syndrome who has some sensory issues and the doubled over larger size sheets didn't stay in place well. Overall a nice little place for a family getaway!

Clean and cozy condo
The pictures of the condo are pretty accurate. It's clean and decorated with beach themed pieces, which cover almost every bit of wall and surface area. The bed is comfortable and we weren't bothered by any noise. The owners leave a convenience selection of common items you may have forgotten to pack. The condo is in the very back of the corner of this older complex, upstairs from the parking lot. There is a daily charge for parking. We never received an email from the owners about how to get in the condo, and had to wait 45 minutes for the managers to return and look it up.

Great Family Stay
We had a great stay at the Tres Gens condo! The location was great, we walked to the beach every morning. The afternoons were for swimming at one of the great pools. This condo is also a close drive to many of the amazing restaurants and not too far from the Pleasure Pier. Our family, including our dog, loved the stay!

Perfect location across from the west end of the sea wall - less congested than the central and east end. We loved that our family dog could join us - this was the only resort we could find that allowed pets. Awesome pools - something for everyone! We will be back soon! Jimmy’s restaurant was great too!

Maravilla Repeat
This is our second time staying in this particular unit. We LOVE the mattress on the king-sized bed. The kitchen is VERY well stocked. If someone were to bring a couple of kids, they will love the bunk room. This is the only Maravilla unit we’ve stayed in where the bunks are in a private bunk room instead of in the hall( tell the kids to pack light since space is at a premium in there). It’s so convenient to have washer and dryer right there in the unit. We’ll come back again.

The property owner literally thought of everything. Even the smallest details are taken care of. The condo is completely stocked with anything anyone could possibly need. It’s very inviting and relaxing. We didn’t use the bunk room but am sure kids would love it. The master bed is super comfy. Although we didn’t use it much the kitchen is stocked with more than most can use. The decor is abundant and my wife and I enjoyed looking at all the detail put into decorating. Added a peg to the map board in the bunk room as well. The a/c worked great! The view from the balcony was amazing as well and just a short walk across the road to the beach. I can’t express enough the detail that the owner has put into this property. My wife and I had a great time and will most certainly keep this listing saved for our next trip back.
