Cute, clean, and accommodating for a family of 5. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals for the family. I love the design of the condo. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars as we would have appreciated heavier blankets (the provided blankets are just a thicker version of a sheet), and the garage that was advertised is being occupied by the owner's golf cart, which does not come with the rental. You'll see other condo renters being able to park in their garages and you feel a little bummed you can't park in the garage as well.

Wonderful Home away from Home!

Other than the code not working to get in the house upon arrival (which was resolved within 20 minutes by the awesome management company) our stay was AMAZING! The house was beautiful and spotless! We were all so comfortable and had soooo much fun! Four blocks from the beach and so peaceful. We didn’t want to leave! The amenities on the property were great and the pool with the slide was fun! The yacht club was full of fun games and pickle ball was great! Fun for families and couples alike!!! Recommended the property to friends of ours who are looking to stay there now as well!!! Beautiful home!!
