Wonderful trip
My Daughter and I wanted to surprise my granddaughter and her neice for the Softball world seies. And that we did. We were able to bring them to the condo onenight and enjoy the beach and pool. It was a very cute relaxing stay and close to so many things to do.
This condo was so perfect. So cozy and clean. The soft beach decor was so relaxing. Just a perfect place and location. Loved everything about it. No bad review here.
