The king size bed was very uncomfortable. I had to sleep on the very edge of the bed for any support. Lumpy and soft. The unit was clean but the broom and mop to use for daily cleaning were filthy and unusable. The kitchen was supplied very well if you decide to cook. Also a lot of people used the grills down by the pool. Most likely because it’s very hard to eat anywhere in GS without waiting for hours. I won’t be back to GS during busy months. There are not enough places for all those people to park, eat or shop. Driving is literal chaos. Horns blaring, people yelling at each other. Crazy vacation

A Little Slice of Paradise

This one bedroom unit has everything we needed for an amazing getaway. From sitting on the balcony watching the dolphins in the morning to cooking a simple dinner in the full sized kitchen and our own washer and dryer. We had everything we needed in this centrally located location.

Perfect location

This spot was perfect for our long weekend! It was just my husband and I this trip, but seeing how family friendly the area is, we’ll be back with our family next time. The location is absolutely perfect! We spent a lot of time on the balcony and were able to walk to almost everything. Our condo was clean and well stocked and very quiet. The ocean was the loudest part and we loved it! We hope to be back someday soon!

Parking Fee

After I paid for my stay in full, On the day before my stay I received an e mail to pay an additional 50.00 for parking fee. During my first night someone kept knocking on our door late that night. We had no way to contact the front desk or security from our unit's phone.
