Lets start with the positive. The location is amazing, with easy access to the waterfront walkway. The service from Bernie and the cleaning team was great. Unfortunately the unit itself let the rating down. It was very tired looking, with stained carpet and marked walls in dire need of a repaint. The furniture was also worn and needed replacement. If you stay here, avoid unit 9 and head for the lake front units which look to be in much better condition. I would go back, but wouldnt stay in that unit.

Our suite was very spacious and room for the 4 of us with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen and bathrooms were very modern and all was very clean. The pool was nice and the boardwalk was right in front of the property. It was a short drive to town so very convenient.

Disappointing
The position of the apartment is amazing and it is incredibly well equipped, however we had a major in the fact we couldn't use the outside terrace area in the daytime because the sunshades had been damaged, this meant the children couldn't go outside and use the hot.tub as it was just too hot. If.we had been informed in advance we could have made other plans. We we're even informed at check-in about the issie, it was only when we tried.to close the blinds and called reception that they told us the blinds were broken. We weren't even offered a rebate on the cost.
