Excellent location. Perfect unit for a couple, any additional guests would make for tight quarters. Couch was tiny, but we sat outdoors most of the time so it wasn’t a problem. Would definitely go back.

I always try to leave the most honest reviews for the people. Bc if they are anything like me, then reviews is how I go about booking-Anything! With that said:Room: It is rather small, but manageable, really only fit for 2 people.We did ask to check in early which was accommodated, however, floor was not swept all the way/found 3 pink fingernails on the floor...Dishes were still a little dirty and our shower doors were smudged clean.BEDS-100% Uncomfortable, Hard Futon/Sofa-100% Uncomfortable.Only the 1 TV in the livingroom.Location: BEAUTIFUL and literally 4 steps away from the pool, and the beach a few steps further out. -Can not complain about the location. Also 3 mins from a CVS and a Publix. And about 30 from a WM and other stores.Host: Bare to minimum interaction. Did not greet when it was check in time and did not say anything when we notified that we checked out. Took 25 mins to get a hold of when our AC went out on day 3; was fixed in a 2 hour window. -not a bad thing to not have an overbearing host but not use to no communication at all either.Overall, I suggest upgrading the bed and sofa and the outside seating table/chairs as they are all rusted. I also suggest that you not compromise an early check in at the expense of a good house cleaning.And get new blankets bc the ones we had, had stains all on them; glad I always bring my own blankets. I Would have rated this 5 stars hands down just bc of the beach location but I couldnt ignore the awful bed and sofa.

A great little place to stay for our birthday weekend getaway. Steps to the beach, the weather was beautiful. The pool was very refreshing and clean after a long day in the sun. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need. If you’re into watching TV, this is not your place. Would suggest the TV be moved into the bedroom that would be easier viewing for those TV watchers but really with the property like this, there’s no need to be inside watching TV unless it’s midnight and you can’t sleep. Very clean great place.!

Deceiving listing

There’s good and not so good about this place! First of all, the location is amazing! The unit opens up to the pool area and is steps away from a gorgeous beach! Now, the not so good…. we arrived around 3:30am to find that the unit looked nothing like what the photos on the listing show. If you are seeing a bright white/grey decor and a separate small bedroom, you are seeing the wrong unit. We messaged the owner making sure we were in the correct unit bc the unit we were in was definitely not what we saw in the photos. They did confirm they had used photos from the unit next door and that they were planning on doing the same to this unit but had not done it yet. It’s also a studio with a full size Murphy bed not a one bedroom and no king size Murphy bed as the listing says. Supposedly we were the first to stay in the unit since they’d bought it. I do feel like they should have put the correct photos and the correct description of it being a studio w a full size Murphy bed. All that said, it’s not horrible, just not what you are seeing in the photos. The location made it bearable for us to finish out our wknd stay. The owner said they would work with us to make it right and have not as of yet and it’s been over a week.

I wanted to give this property the benefit of the doubt, but after our experience, I can't recommend staying here.Listing this as a one-bedroom apartment is misleading. It's really a converted studio with walls built around the bed, leaving a cramped living room and tiny kitchen with almost no ventilation.The cleanliness was unacceptable. The toilet had mold in the bowl, the floors were covered in sand and dirt, and there was even sand in the couch, which was already extremely uncomfortable. The kitchen was poorly equipped, with too few plates and utensils for two people despite advertising accommodations for three. There was one drinking glass but three wine glasses.The final straw was the air conditioning failing less than 24 hours into our three-night stay. The unit reached 80 by bedtime. I contacted the host immediately and was told they had called an HVAC company but couldn't guarantee when anyone would come. A broken A/C before a holiday isn't necessarily the host's fault, but failing to offer a solution, alternative accommodations, or compensation is.VRBO was equally disappointing. Despite multiple calls, we still had to cut our July 4th vacation short because the unit had become uninhabitable. I was eventually promised 200 in OneKey Cash, but it never appeared. Between the misleading listing, poor cleanliness, lack of communication, and failure to resolve a major issue, this was one of the worst vacation rental experiences I've had.
