Gorgeous view
Perfect for my husband and I for the week. The view from here was gorgeous! The balcony was a great spot to have breakfast and watch for the dolphins. Perfect place for couples or a family. There was ice packs to put in the cooler to take to the beach so we didn't have to buy ice. Beach chairs, umbrella and items to take to the beach. Great place!! The only bad thing I can say about the property is, an elevator would've made the week a little better as I didn't realize it was on the 3rd floor.
