Quaint condo with great location!

Chris was such a wonderful host, we were able to check in early and stay another evening since we had a late flight! The condo was nice and clean with great amenities at the hotel. There was also east access to get to restaurants, shopping, and beaches.

Great location! Good communication from host! I was a little worried about the parking, but it wasn’t much of an issue. Clean and as advertised. Would recommend a larger TV and a nicer mattress. Overall a great place to stay!
