Spacious condo with plenty of room to relax Well-stocked kitchen with everything needed for the stay Nice balcony for morning coffee or evening drinks (don’t have the blazing sun on you in the afternoon...this is a big deal, trust me. ) Great views from the condo/balcony Easy check-in, clear instructions Convenient parking Resort has lots of amenities. Fitness center is a bonus Close to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and attractions. Be sure to check out Marina Cafe, The Back Porch.

This was one of the best places we have stayed at in Florida. The location was perfect, the pool area is beautiful and most importantly it was safe. We have traveled with two teenagers who loved staying inside and we felt comfortable to leave them at the apt/resort. The apt is beautiful and very clean. 

Host's response:

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re honored to hear this was one of your best stays in Florida. It’s great that your family enjoyed the location, beautiful pool area, and the comfort and peace of mind the resort provided. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable stay!
