We enjoy being close to all you need, restaurant , groceries store ##### connie t. ### 10/10 Excellent #### connie t. 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This condo is just as pictured, very clean with updated finishes, really nice, great shower, washer and dryer are on the bottom floor so you have to use coin operated machines, the pool is great with plenty of chairs and keeped up well, check in is a breeze and the host is always available through email and VRBO. It's a good location, close to anything you need, there's plenty of room for a couple or a couple with children, it has a pull out couch, there's a table top view of the beach in door so you stay cool while enjoying the view or there's patio seating in the breeze way on each end of the floors, the bed is comfy and the area is quite, we will definitely be making this our choice again ##### connie t.
