It was an incredible weekend stay in 1603! We had such a great time ! Everything was exceptional! The 4 days we spent in the condo were enjoyable—the beds were very comfortable , the rooms were cozy and clean, the kitchen was very functional and clean too we didn’t even eat out and cooked all our meals there! The master’s shower was so fun and the water pressure was strong it was relaxing . The washer and dryer were helpful esp since we had wet clothes from the beach. The access to the beach was also easy. Even thought sky bridge was under repair it was not a big deal bec the walk across the strees was short and the cars even stop when they see you crossing. The indoor Pool was warm and clean. The gym was also clean and complete! We even tried the sauna too! The front desk person was very friendly and helpful! Overall it was a weekend to remember! 1603 is incredible! We will be back and soon too! Thank you for answering all our questions and giving us tips about places to go and restaurants around the area. Thank you for being greats hosts! ##### Johanna M.
