The location and view were stunning! We really enjoyed the huge balcony! The condo was spacious & the layout was perfect for little ones. Two master bedrooms were a definite plus! The pool area was amazing and beach access was very easy. There is only 1 dedicated parking slip & we had difficulty parking in the overflow with the 2nd vehicle a few times. The walls were very scratched up & it is obvious the condo has been well loved. It had not been well cleaned but nothing we couldn't take care of ourselves (ie food under coffee table, face pad & hair in bathroom floor). Overall, it was a lovely vacation for our family that we will remember forever!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you loved the location, views, and spacious layout—especially that the balcony and pool area made a lasting impression for your family. The two master bedrooms really do make it easier for everyone to feel comfortable, and we're glad the setup worked well for your little ones. We truly appreciate you pointing out areas that could use some extra attention. We're addressing the cleaning concerns with our team to ensure future guests have a spotless experience, and we’ll also look into refreshing the walls where needed. The parking situation can occasionally be tricky during peak times, and we understand how that can be frustrating. We’re so happy this trip created special memories for your family, and we’d love to welcome you back again!
