Family fun and beautiful atmosphere
The views are breathtaking 😍. Our unit was very spacious and other than a small amount of dust on a few fixtures it was very clean! Beds were super comfortable. The rental company was extremely quick to help with any questions. My only real complaint was that 2 days before our trip was over the pool was out of commission for "maintenance". Super comfortable experience and will definitely use again!

Nice, Large Condo with easy beach access but had it's issues...
I struggled with writing a poor review because I really don't want to be too critical, I get things happen. I will say All in All the Condo ended up being quite adequate for what we needed and there were some pro's I'll mention below, and the property management did end up eventually working with me on the main issue we had but only after days of being quite persistent. Pros- - Very nice size...we were family of 5 and had plenty of space. -Elevators worked quickly -Large full size windows were wonderful. -Pictures are pretty accurate (aside from pool) -Easy and quick access to beach -Easy Check in and Check out -Nice extra's ( a cart to take to the beach was a huge plus!) Good Chairs, beach toys, umbrella's, boogie boards. Cons- -Fire Alarm in guest room was removed from the wall -There were sanded patches all over the way and while we were staying...workers from the building knocked on our door requesting to come in and sand them down some more!!! We were getting ready to leave for beach but didn't feel comfortable leaving them in condo by themselves...only lasted 15 min but was sort of awkward. -No dish soap for Kitchen and no hand soap for bathrooms -Fan wasn't working in guest room -Coffee Maker was chipped and seemed to work on and off -The dryer made horrible high pitch noise -POOL IS CLOSED!!!! WITH NO NOTIFICATION For a few days...I would recommend this place, but not sure I'd stay here again for a full week. I do believe the property managers have possibly changed the price of the condo as of late to reflect the pool closure but it's still a HUGE amenity that travelers are expecting that they won't be able to use.

Nice property
We would rate it a good for cleaning. We did find a lot of cereal and other food on the floor and very little efforts to vacuum the sand out of the floor/carpet. Additionally, our youngest has found candy under furniture that we have had to take from him. Other than that, everything with cleaning was fine. Livermore, the property managers did reach out to clean up while we are at the facility… It just would’ve been intrusive with napping, we’re leaving, etc. What we were really more disappointed in is the fact that the condo has a swimming pool and hot tub under construction. It is obvious that it has not worked for a while, and would’ve been nice to have been notified that. This is especially true with four kids, two under six, that were very interested in getting into the pool because they’ve never been the ocean before. Disappointed.

Pool was under construction and we were not told. Take toilet paper, you are only given so much. No extra garbage bags so pack your own. Only one kitchen towel and dish rags so take extra. Only one bath towel provided per person so take extra. Bedroom fan and light in one room didn't work. Bedroom fan in master with only one speed, high, so had to keep it off. Fan and light have no separate switch so had to unscrew the light bulbs to run the fan at night. But it was too cold on high so had to keep it off. Fridge leaking on floor so had to keep a beach towel down. Great location for off beach! Very nice condo.

Some Good, Some Bad
Great location with just a short walk to the beach (you do cross a fairly busy road). The decor was nice but we found ourselves needing things that were not there. For example, there wasn’t any hand soap in the soap dispensers, we were only given one pod for the dishwasher and a couple of the remotes did not have batteries. All things we overlooked. We had to call for an additional parking pass. We were told we would have two and got there and only one was left for us. The major thing was the pool was under construction. I wish we would have been noticed on that, that was one of the main reasons we booked this VRBO. The workers started very early making it hard to use the balcony. Very disappointed in that. Overall, not bad. I would book again if the pool was open.

Wonderful
The condo is absolutely gorgeous. It has everything you need to cook for your family and it’s very equipped for the beach. Our sister and brother- in-law stayed in the same building and did not have nearly as nice furniture or decor. This condo is beautiful. The owners/manager was always in touch in case we needed anything. The location is also very close to restaurants and shopping but yet still quiet and very family oriented. It’s also a short walk to the beach. We had a great time! Would love to come back in the future.

Great place
We were impressed with the condo, well furnished and spacious. Very pretty views. The communication from the property manager was better than I have ever experienced. Check in was a breeze. Received a discount on extending our stay for one night, and was an easy process. No complaints whatsoever. Will stay here again!
