Updates Needed
Updated decor, paint and furniture is needed at this property to justify the price we paid. Master bedroom was very nice but all other rooms are outdated. Additional seating in the family room would be helpful. Kathy, the property manager gets a 5 star rating for her customer service!

Good ForThe Price
Pros: Very spacious, clean, two masters, many bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, extremely close to private beach, nice large pool area, walking distance to restaurants, easy to find, very well kept area, gated, great area for kids to play/ride bikes, chair rentals available Cons: A little dated, the queen bed seems to be a full, the air conditioning wouldn’t go below 74 and got up to 81 during the day even with it set at 65, we found extra air filters and so changed the existing one - which was disgusting, there is a rotten/soft area on the balcony and loose railings, the balcony door does not shut well, kitchen and living room are upstairs, the cold knob on the faucet on the tub in the upstairs master leaks, bedroom TVs are very outdated, the only grill is by the pool and charcoal, all bathroom outlets are tied to the same breaker so if more than one person is using something like a hairdryer it will trip and there is no way to rest because the box is unacceptable.
