"This condo was perfect for our vacation stay. It had all the amenities like pool, hot tub, gym, rec room. The beach was only a 5 min walk. The condo provided all the extras like beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels. The room was a little dated and the carpets were a bit stained but for the price it was great. It had a full kitchen with all the appliances to make meals there while staying and we didn’t feel like we had to go out for every meal. The only downside we had which was our fault...
