Great condo

Nice property. My only complaint would be the golf cart rental. The employees are not the friendliest. Lack of communication.

Wonderful location

We absolutely loved the location of this property. Just a short walk and you are at the beach. You can hear the waves from the porch even though you only have a view of the dunes being at the first floor. We needed 3 bedrooms for all 7 of us. There was plenty space to accommodate everyone. Kitchen was fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans, cups. We loved it and we are considering to come back on a future vacation!
