Overall, the place was clean, close to everything, and comfortable. The beds were spectacular. Only thing I would complain about is not knowing that the queen and bunk space was a loft, but overall it was great!

The location was great. The condo is advertised as 3 bedroom, but there are only 2 with an open loft. The place was relatively clean, but there was a lot of sand throughout the condo and a few ants. Advertised as washer and dryer in unit, but the dryer was broken and that wasn't communicated- the managing company was great to work with though.
