We rented the Jeep and I liked the proximity to the elevator. The condo was very nice and clean. The only thing I would suggest is maybe purchase some more beach chairs as they were very rusty.

The condo was perfect! Communication prior to our visit was great and we had no issues once we arrived. Loved having someone meet us when we arrived to take us around the area and to the condo. Showing us how to pak was super beneficial for me! We will be returning with friends and will inquire in the unit and the one next door.
