The property was clean and well kept. Very comfortable. A beautiful sunset view. Not a beach for swimming and not a great place to walk. Close to dining options, and we always felt safe and sevure.

This is a timeshare community, and we rented via the resort. On the positive side, our one-bedroom unit was enormous – over 1000 sq ft – and came fully equipped and supplied with everything we needed for a 9-day stay. The grounds are lovely, and we especially enjoyed the “quiet pool”, no kids splashing around or loud music. There was a TV in the living room that got many live stations plus Netflix, and a full-size washer and dryer in the kitchen. It was also very affordable, compared to other places on the island. Even the beach equipment rentals were quite reasonable. But we got what we paid for. Even though it had been renovated, with granite countertops and Shaker cabinets, the unit had a very 1970s feel: dark, musty, tired. They must have hired the interior decorator from Motel 6. The garage was so tiny that we had trouble opening the doors of our medium-sized sedan, and the garage door was not automated (it was required that we park in the garage). We had to climb two flights of stairs to get to the unit (even the first-floor units in our building had steps), although they would have helped us with our luggage if we had asked. And the property has no beach access whatsoever (even though you can see the ocean from everywhere) nor is it an easy walk to the closest beach. You will definitely need a car for everything. Bottom line: Good value for the money, but don’t expect luxury.

We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Bed was lovely. Staff service was good! What was not so good is the unit needs a remodel. Cabinets are very worn. Curtains were torn in places. But there was a card in the unit that said a complete remodel is happening in 2026. That is good news!
