Perfect location for walking to the Trop and driving to the beach! Lots of walkable restaurants and Publix as well. The unit was spotless and well equipped with anything we needed. We have stayed in Sharon’s units multiple times - she is an excellent host and very responsive.

An excellent place to stay. Very clean. Sharon was super responsive. Parking was easy with the pass. The area had restaurants and there was a Publix grocery store near by. We would definitely stay here again.
