This place was very nice and big enough that our 2 families that were staying there had plenty of room. A little far from town but very quite and peaceful!
The location of the condo provides awesome views! A very large porch looks out over the bay. The neighborhood is quiet. Both pools and the beach are nearby.The condo was spacious (5 adults), very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Linda and MaryAlice are exceptional (responsive) hosts from beginning to end. They arranged an early check-in for our holiday weekend.Perfect in every way!We will most definitely be back again!
This property was clean and stocked and the owners were very responsive. Plenty of space for our family to spread out and our morning coffee on the balcony was just what we needed. Lots of choices for beach access and the pool was nice and clean.
The rental was very nice and comfortable. We loved that we could all relax in the living room to watch movies and there was a big dining room table right there to work a jigsaw puzzle on. Watching the sunset over the bay was beautiful in the evenings. We would definitely go back!
Great host! Responded very quickly, and was very accommodating to our needs/requests. Check-in instructions were super detailed and helpful.
The apartment was very clean and well stocked. We could not have asked for a better location. Overall a wonderful place; we would stay here again easily!
Overall impression of this property was outstanding. Very clean, spacious and accommodating. The view and the host were amazing. Had everything available and easily accessible. Would definitely book again. Extra note - we left an IPad behind and they shipped it out the next day to our home address. Thanks again!
This is our second stay in this unit. It is very clean and comfortable. It is well-stocked and all the arrangements went smoothly. The deck is very nice. I would recommend staying in this unit.
The condo was very convenient for our group of 5 adult women. We appreciated getting away and not having to share beds. Enough bathrooms to accommodate all of us getting ready. The Pointe West complex was great as we liked the pools better than the sand. The beach access and pool access was great, enough parking that we could easily drive (in the heat) to get where we needed to go. Definitely take your bug spray though!

My review
The property was nice, however, website was misleading and should have stated that the amenities (pools) had an additional charge (25 per person). No deadbolt on main door which allowed kids to open the door from the inside. Clothes dryer knobs broken. Dishes in cupboard were dirty. Killed four roaches in 3 days. Dirt and dust under beds. Pots and pans need to be replaced. Beautiful views and plenty of space. Nice but room for improvement.
We had a wonderful experience at the condo. It was in a great location and was extremely clean and well-stocked. The resort was beautiful and very peaceful.
This property was perfect for our family. The unit was clean and well stocked, and the owner immediately responded to all questions before and during our stay. The location on the bay is perfect.
