This was our first trip back as a family of 5. We booked it when our third son was just born. He was five months for the trip and we also have a 3 and 4 year old. Couldn’t be more impressed. The check in process was easy. The amenities were great with the indoor outdoor pool and wadding area. The condo was PERFECT for rambunctious boys like there was really nothing they could break which we appreciated. The layout was great. It was very clean and everything functioned as expected. ##### Carly R.

Very clean, beautiful scenery, comfortable beds, wash machines to pack clean clothes to go home with and throughout the week. Great location where its not as busy where other places were. We all had a great time! We had to get one more packing pass (which was only 40.00 for the whole week) and when we went to the Office. The office guy was so friendly and funny. He answered all the questions we had asked. I highly recommend this room! ##### Ann D.

The location was great, staff onsite were excellent. My only criticisms are the carpets in the bedrooms need to be replaced and the mattress in the small bedroom was the worst mattress I have ever slept on! It really needs to be replaced. It was a bit annoying that we had to buy trash bags but we used the plastic grocery bags, the trash shute was very convenient. All in all a nice condo on the beach with great views of the ocean. ##### Lyn J.
