“Fabulous!!”

Reviewed 19 Aug 2019

We spent 4 wonderful weeks at Erica’s condo. Everything we needed to enjoy our holiday was provided, including lots of beach items. The condo was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and we spent many hours on the lovely large balcony just chilling. We would highly recommend this condo, and Erica was great to deal with all the way through. Hopefully we will return one day.

“Great stay”

Reviewed 29 Apr 2019

We have stayed in this area many times and the beach location is wonderful. Erica was great to deal with always coming straight back to me. She was so helpful offer early check in and late check out without us even asking which was super helpful with a late flight home and meant the kids had the morning in the pool before the dreaded journey back to the OK! The apartment was much bigger than we expected and was really well kitted out, large TV with a good choice of channels . The nightly price was a lot cheaper than many we looked at in this area and was therefore excellent value for money. Will come again Thanks
