The boardwalk to the beach was very close, which was our main reason for choosing this condo. We also enjoyed using the tennis court and volleyball net. We didn't use the pool as the water was too chilly but it looked clean and well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked (however, it could use a toaster). Overall, we would stay here again. ##### Lora W. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathi K. 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Clean. Washer/dryer didn't work I am not sure if it was mold or dirt above the door & window in the living area. The upper corner lazy susan is missing a screw in the top so the door didn't close properly. Said washer dryer available, but they didn't work. ##### Kathi K.
