Wonderful stay with my daughter
Condo was beautiful and the decor was perfect and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Such a short walk to the beach and the beach was not busy at all. The pool was nice and the staff was very helpful when I had questions. I would absolutely stay again!

We would have loved to have a few large tumblers for beverages. We rented bikes but initially thought by the listing they we available on site with the rental. Loved getting the umbrella and chairs. Property was in a location we enjoyed and the beach was great too.
