The condo was very spacious & comfortable.
There was even a private, roofed patio in the back.
The best thing is that it was a short (5 minute) walk to the beach. The second best thing is that I was there for 2 nights & never moved my car. I also enjoyed the hot tub—& it’s long, open hours. The staff was friendly & helpful.
The only negative is that I was unable to hear the ocean from my room.
It was an incredible value.
