The property was beautiful, very clean and comfortable to stay at! We enjoyed how close the beach was and the private patio made for a great place for my young son to play in after the day at the beach.

Great condo!
We loved staying here. The condo was cozy and had everything we needed for a week long stay. The only complaint we have is there was a massive ant problem. So that was slightly annoying. Overall though, the condo was clean and accomodating to our needs.
