My extended family had a terrific time here - 3 sisters plus husbands or friends and 1 kid. The condo was spacious, the two bathrooms key. The open kitchen, dining and living area was great for hanging out, playing games etc at night after coming back from dinner and strolling the area. We didn't watch much TV but noted there was Apple TV as well as cable. Many good places for dinner within walking distance; favorites for fine dining were The Landmark and Joseph's by the Sea. Plenty of more casual and cheaper spots all around; just walk outside and pick one. My 3 year old LOVED the amusement park next door and insists we return next year for more fun. Being able to walk outside the Grand Vic right to the beach was key; no waiting for everyone to be ready or worrying if some wanted to linger or go back in the afternoon for a rest. Surf Six restaurant/bar right there was convenient and fun for drinks, lunch etc out on the patio or inside when you need some shade. They are also also totally fine with you going in to use the bathroom which is nice, save you the trip upstairs! Coffee bar downstairs if you forgot to bring some for the coffee maker there.

Small quibbles: the showers are both open so not much privacy there - in the master bedroom the shower is a glass box in the actual bedroom so unless the others in the room are your intimates, you'll want to lock the bedroom door. :) The other one is a big open tiled shower (great for hosing down a couple of kids at a time). There is no tub.

The beds were all pretty "firm" but not terrible. I think they were all platform-type beds so no box springs. The pullout couch was comfy and there is bedding for all of them. Towels are there too, along with many items like dish soap and counter spray...no laundry soap or kitchen basics though. You have to clean up a bit before leaving; strip the beds, toss the towels in the washer, remove any food in the kitchen...nothing crazy. (Btw: a grocery store is walking distance away, a Shop & Save at the base of Cascade Rd.)

The staff there are great; so helpful in moving cars, taking trash for us etc. I really recommend the building and this unit as well. I got a little nervous toward the end of the summer when we didn't hear back from the owner on our various little questions, but all were answered by the building staff. I think I just didn't realize it was a full service building so could have been directing my questions to them instead of the unit owner.
