Thank you! Thank you for your kind review! We would love to host you again. Best wishes always.
The location is perfect. Any stores you need are nearby. The view of the beach is very nice. You can't quite see the sunset because the view is blocked by other condos. However, you can watch the sunrise and the moonrise. You also can watch dolphins swim by not far offshore. I did not hear noise from neighboring condos at all. The security guard was friendly and watchful, and the parking lot felt very safe.

Thank you for your kind review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to host you. Best wishes always.
The condo is very cute, perfect for a couple. They do have a 2nd bedroom but its pretty small and seems designed for kids. Location is great, very walkable. The hosts are very on the ball with communication. Not overbearing by any means, but if you have question, they'll answer pretty quickly. We plan to go back to this same unit again for sure.
