We had a great stay! The kitchen was fully equipped, only negative (but not a huge deal) was the inside of the refrigerator door didn't really hold any items and the shelf fell out frequently. The view was nice, you can see the ocean. My only recommendation (again, not a big deal) would be to have a high top table and chairs on the balcony so you can sit and still enjoy seeing the ocean. Overall, our family had a great week!
