Beautiful Condo
The condo was beautiful, clean, and comfortable! So much better than multiple hotel rooms when traveling with family. We enjoyed our 2-night stay and will be back!
Really great location - we were able to walk to everything. Modern and has plenty of space. We really enjoyed the view of the bay from the balconies. Highly recommended!
Clean, bright interior.
Garage door opener did not function, we had to log in at door and open from inside.
Would be nice to hose down patio furniture between guests, lots of spider webs and dirt on patio furniture.
The road construction was loud and disappointing, had no convenient access to beach which was one of the reasons we selected the property.
