The Condo had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable and the view was wonderful. Parking was also very convenient, that can be an issue if you have more than one car. If you love Thai Oishi is right across the street. Best Thai I have had in a long time.

The condo was spacious, and the view was amazing. With all the amenities, you don’t really have to leave the property if you didn’t want to. The pool is beautiful, and the beach is easily accessible with two ramps for wagons, and a set of stairs leading to the beach.
