The condo was very clean and updated. This was our first time not having a beach view. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the pond fountain rather than the waves, which were also just a very short walk to the beach. Our first time and we loved it!

Perfect for families!
This unit is great for families! My four and six year old girls had a blast. It's a short 5 min walk to the pool and beach. The condo was very clean and stocked with everything we needed: Beach toys, chairs, beach cart, umbrella, towles, hand soap, paper towles, toilet paper, and more. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking equipment. The pond outside had TONS of friendly turtles that we enjoyed feeding. All the staff we encountered were very friendly. We have nothing but positive things to say and will return for future beach trips! :)
