Great location, ok condo
The furniture is dated and one of the kitchen chairs could not be used due to the seat splitting apart. There was quite a bit of sand still on the floor when arriving and the whole unit could’ve been cleaner. It wasn’t bad but not the best either. Location was great along with the beach access!

Girls Trip
Not impressed with this condo. I will not rent it again, too many things wrong with it and it was not cleaned properly, we moved a chair and found a piece of pizza under it! Wall plugs along the couch side wall didn’t work, bed rail on the top bunk was loose, sheets for the couch were stained badly altho they were clean they looked horrible. Could tell that the owners didn’t spend any $$ fixing this place up to make it nicer. Things were kinda cheap! Definitely not worth the price but we made it work and had a good time anyway. Lesson learned and keeping this one in my book to be sure I don’t rent it again. I will just have to look for a different place next time. This is really only the first time I have not had a quality condo rental from VRBO so not holding it against VRBO just think the owners need to upgrade some things in this condo.
