Annual beach trip

This is the third time we have stayed in this unit. It suits our needs well, as we have young kids, teens, adults, and old people. It has a great view of the Gulf of America, and morning coffee on the balcony is great.

I am so sorry for your inconvenience. I sent the HVAC company to repair it and paid the HVAC company. I assumed all was repaired and working properly.

Annual family beach visit

We have stayed at the San Carlos 3 times, twice in this unit. It has a variety of beds that give us flexibility to arrange sleeping arrangements for each family as kids grow and situations change. The common area is spacious and the furnishings comfortable. The balcony is large and the view is great.
