The condo is relatively small but was plenty big enough for my wife and me. We were notified a day before we arrived that beach towels weren't included but since we drove down from Iowa, it was too late to grab ours...we ended up buying a couple down there. Seems odd to me that you have a beach side condo and don't have 4 beach towels available. The chair and umbrella service was nice and we utilized every day. There seemed to be a possibility of "reserving" spots but never figured that out. Another easy fix would be having a kitchen rag and hand towel available...if they were there we never located them. The final "easy fix" I would recommend is having a portable cooler available to use...a much appreciated benefit for days spent on the beach. Bernadette was very helpful and responsive when we had questions/issues which was MUCH appreciated. ##### Gary B.
