Plenty of room to have our own space with our family of four. Loved that she had cleaning supplies, vacuum, broom, etc in order to clean up sand. The marina was nice with a restaurant close by. All of the dunes and beaches were close by and easy to get to. We also traveled to Chicago, with the train being close by it was really easy! She also has a nice and large dog crate in a closet that our dog used often, we were glad to be able to take him with us. Thanks so much for the use of your condo! ##### Aimee O.
