Party of 11

We were a party of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids). Plenty of room for everyone. Great views of the bay, and convenience of the sky bridge got us to the beach side pretty easily. Lazy River was a great bonus. Would definitely book this rental again. Balcony was huge and accommodating for the whole family.

Very clean and simply gorgeous. I just wanted to hang out on the huge patio when i want floating in the lazy river. The master bath is bigger than an RV! The lazy river takes 5 minutes to make a complete lap. Getting to the ocean is easy.
