Condo and property was very nice and as advertised. To be expected, the beach was super crowded and the pool chairs were hard to find because

We had a wonderful family vacation here! The condo was great! We really enjoyed relaxing on the large balcony when we weren't at the pool or beach. The condo was pleasantly as described. And the communication was top notch before, and during, our stay. We would definitely stay here again.
