There were roaches in the floor, sand in the beds, sand in the floor, the door did not lock properly and was scared throughout our stay due to it would come unlocked. Door was left, unlocked several times due to malfunction in the keypad. Definitely needs work! Also dishes were dirty in the cabinets.

Great place to Stay
This condo was everything we wanted/needed for a family vacation. It was close enough for us to walk down to the hangout and Gulf place for the kids to play. The pool was perfect and the property was super clean! The only thing our condo didn’t have was a broom so there was literally sand everywhere lol! We enjoyed this place and will be back next year!

Vacation
The place seemed clean, then if you walked barefoot, the bottom of your feet were instant black. The toilet would make a loud noise at 430am everyday. We had someone come look at it, but neevr did anything. The bunkbed in room was wobbly and broken under the top bunk, the maintenence couldnt fix it so my kids were very careful. My daughter was on her way down to beach to us and maintenance stopped her and told her we couldnt use shower by kitchen cus it was leaking into unit under us and thst he was going i to our place to take pictures and leave a note. When we got back to our room, the door was left unlocked by maintenance and all our money and cards wverything was in there. There was also no note left. When i went to office to talk to them about it they had no idea they were coming to pur room, so i called the host, they also said they were unaware. Other then fhat we loved the location. In walking distance to beach, food, and shopping.

We walked into a bag of garbage as the welcome bag. The air conditioner wasn't working when we got there. It took until day three of our seven day vacation to get it fixed. No compensation was offered no apology given. My family has used beach ball for several years. And we will not be using it again.
