We felt some of the furniture could have been a bit more up-to-date, including bedding and linens. We expected the decor to be a bit fresher and that dishes, cups and glasses would be in matched sets. Having stayed in a number of other VRBO’s, this one seemed to be a bit mediocre—especially for the price we paid.

The description showed two king beds but one room had twin beds. Reading further down in the text description it even says 2 Kings and 0 twin beds but finally way down buried in a THIRD paragraph it does mention the twins could be put together to make a king “upon request”. I feel this was not evident and very misleading for the price of the unit. Also, VRBO has commercials with Lou Saban. I felt this property has more rules than Lou Sabans rule book.

Great family vacation

We enjoyed coming back to condo and relaxing, making dinner, and swimming, and grandma stayed back on evenings when we went back to town for dinner or for an evening in town! Only complaint was the construction noise and blocked views.

This was a great accommodation for my family. Ages 21-52. Spacious. Nice rooms, bathrooms and kitchen. Had our morning coffee on the balcony with view of the Ocean. Nice relaxing time at the pool during the day and close enough to Duvall for evening fun/dining.
