We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The only thing we wished we had was an ice machine. The fridge had a small one but we had to buy bag ice everyday. We would definitely stay here again!

The view was great! The living room and kitchen were great. I was somewhat disappointed with the bathroom.The tub was slippery. I bought a bath mat to stand on while showering to minimize my fall risk. I also had difficulty stepping in and out of the tub due to the height and having nothing to hold to. I’m 75 years old and the bathroom was not elderly friendly and presented a fall risk. The boardwalk going to the beach was really nice. It made our trips to the beach much easier! Also the condo location was perfect!Respectfully,Sheila and Lamar Cook
