Furthest unit from pool & beach BUT we loved it.
Older small unit without a lot of niceties. Pretty bare bones. We were given half of a sponge in the kitchen and a teeny tiny Palmolive. 2 bathroom wash clothes. The beach is so private and beautiful. The pool is kept in perfect condition and is a nice temperature. We had a nice stay. Margaret in the office was incredible.

A Nice Little Place
The property is accurately described, nice front room with kitchenette. The bedroom is fine and the bathroom too. Folks at the office are very nice and helpful. We liked the access to Cedars tennis, a very nice feature. We enjoyed using the pool and grill cooking and the beach is nice too. We will go back.

Cozy, quiet condo
The unit was just as described. We enjoyed a quiet 4 day stay. We really enjoyed the use of the bikes. The beach was not crowded. The ice maker did not work well. We turned it on Thurs morning and by Saturday morning we had about 15-20 ice cubes. There was an ice cube tray to use.

Quick weekend trip for my husbands birthday. We wanted to enjoy the beach since the hurricane did much damage by our home in Fort Myers. This was the perfect spot. Great location. Reasonably priced. Plenty of beach and pool equipment to use. Nice restaurants in the area as well.

Location, Location, Location !!
We enjoyed our stay very much. It was clean and comfortable. The ability to walk steps to the beach, then pool, etc. was ideal for a week of relaxation. Margaret was incredibly helpful and does an amazing job in the manager's office. Note the road is very close and you will hear cars through the night. This was not a problem for us but might bother others.

Great weekend getaway for 2
The room itself was clean and was well decorated with a beachy vibe. It was a perfect location for 2 people to spend a couple days at the beach with access to some good local restaurants . The property itself is a bit outdated but it’s hard to beat the location.

Very quiet and beautiful resort, love the screened in porches and full kitchens! Pool was very clean, as was the rest of the property. Nothing fancy, but I personally like that, and the short stroll to the beach is absolutely beautiful! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful,also.

Beautiful Getaway on the Beach!
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely efficiency. The rooms were sparkling clean, and well stocked with towels, beach towels, pillows and blankets. The pool was clean with well-maintained lounge chairs. Umbrellas, beach carts, boogie boards and beach chairs were available for our use free of charge. Best of all was the gorgeous beach and aqua blue gulf waters. Would highly recommend!

Property isn't bad. Communication with management is nonexistent. Me and my wife were told by two separate people from VRBO that they would follow up with us about our air purifier that we left in the room. This was two weeks ago. Still no response.
