Host:
we were a bit nervous about the actual proximity of the beach & pool to the unit--
functional quiet and super close to the beach
We had a wonderful trip
so we are extremely picky when renting & usually a bit overly critical
It has wonderful ocean views and the owner/manager is very responsive
Location:
The Marina is just across the street so you can easily walk to dinner in five minutes
but also just a stone's throw from South Beach Marina which has great casual restaurants (Salty Dog Land's End) and great little shops too
enjoyed this beach and exploring others nearby and grilled near the pool one night too
We saw dolphins every day sometimes from the condo
but the location still has a great tucked away feeling of being slightly off the touristy beaten path
Cleanliness:
The unit is precisely as pictured and had everything we needed including a toaster
a dishwasher quality plates/cutlery and bath towels (do bring your own beach towels)
The condo is spacious and decorated nicely
Amenities & Room:
It was everything we expected and more
Traveling with 7 year old and 3 month old daughters
The condo was also far more spacious than we had expected; bedrooms were very large each with their own balconies huge living room with two couches plus chair and dining table for 6
The kitchen was stocked with everything you could think of (all good quality); pots pans
The sunset was also beautiful
