We had a great time! The condo was nice and the access to the elevator and beach was perfect
Also right in the middle of everything so didn’t have to drive far to get anywhere
We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. The pool and beach access were so convenient. The views were beautiful and so relaxing to watch the waves! The beds were comfy and everything was clean! We will definitely stay again if traveling back this way! Thank you for being great hosts!
