I've been taking my two young daughters up to Carp for Spring break for a few years now. This year was definitely the best yet for us, thanks in no small part to this really great condo. We all found our beds to be comfortable, which for me is a pretty big deal. I have chronic back issues and when I travel I'm pretty much resigned to experiencing some severe discomfort. But not here. The girls shared the bedroom off the living room, while I took the courtyard bedroom. They both said the bed was extremely comfortable. It's good be young, because when I laid on it I found very little support. The bed in the courtyard room, however, was perfect for me. Firm, with a lot of support. I slept well each night, with the window open to hear the crash of the waves less than a block away.

The layout of the condo was perfect for us. Nice large, well-stocked kitchen with good appliances, well-appointed living room with a big sofa (not much back support here, truth be told, which is why I deducted one star) dining table, TV, Cable, DVD player and a great assortment of board games and books. And then the patio, which is fantastic. I used it as my office for our stay, (the girls were on vacation, not me!), and it was great to have my coffee out there. the view of the ocean right down the street is nice, but's the view of the mountains that's the real star. Wow! That view never got old. And with the salt marsh directly across the street, the stars at night were pretty amazing (though I wish there wasn't a street light out there). And all of that is not to even mention the nice surprise of the gift basket that was waiting for us! Thanks Linda & Rick!!

As for the condo complex, we loved it. It was a little chilly during our stay, so the kids preferred the pool/hot tub to the ocean most days. The laundry area is just a few steps away from the condo, and while I didn't use it during this stay it was always super clean when I went through on my way to the parking area. The grounds of the complex as a whole are very nicely kept, and though there were quite a few kids around it was never very noisy at all.

And, of course, the location. You just can't beat it. Yeah, you could be closer to town, but then you wouldn't be right across from the salt marsh and you'd miss seeing the herons and hearing the loons and seeing those stars! Everything is very much in walking distance, and the quiet at night was awesome.

Thanks for a wonderful stay. We'll be back!
