This condo is fantastic. Its super spacious and just so well appointed. The beds are amazing. Everyone said they had the beat sleep they'd ever had. We did a quick weekend with our kids and grandkids and they all want to book our family vacation here for next year.The only thing... this isnt a criticism just so folks know, while the kitchen is very well stocked with pots and pans, bakeware etc, you need to bring everything to cook with. Even salt and pepper. I didnt even think about packing that. Just plan for that. The lazy river was a family favorite. Our 5 year old granddaughter loved it and said it was one of the best beach trips!
