The condo was very clean with all you need to stay for a while. Location was very convenient to food, beach, everything! Neighbors were friendly and it was a very low key vibe.
The condo was fine. We did have trouble with the outlets - very few of the outlets worked perfectly. Also the fan in one of the bedrooms could not be turned on high because it shook so badly.
Suggestion: There needs to be a mirror in the bedrooms. It was difficult for 3 adult ladies and one teenage girl to use when getting ready to go out.
The condo was good other than those few things.
The condo was very spacious. It was clean and had plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed having a kitchen to prepare our food (just a 5 minute walk to the seafood shop to buy fresh seafood). The pool was convenient for the kids. Our only wish was to have more than 1 key. The lock box was not particularly easy to open. Having a couple other keys would have been nice. I asked for additional keys but they never showed up. We were often headed out to different locations at different times. It worked though, just using the lock box.
