The location was 10/10! Ocean views with the sunset were phenomenal. Walking distance to all the restaurants and coffee shops you could need. The room was a great size for the two of us. The shower could definitely use some cleaning/updating. For example, I wouldn’t put my kids in the bath tub. Everything else was great.

The condo was well stocked- incredible views and sounds. It could use some freshening up- pictures on walls fading out. The bed mattress needs to be replaced. Communication was good with management. The air conditioning has been fixed and works great. Very quiet and waves sounds to sleep by.Walking distance to town.
