Excellent property with beach right outside back door of condo and nice pool and hot tub. It is within walking distance of lots of fun things and shopping. Patio overlooks the beach and the kitchen was well stocked. Be sure to bring extra toilet paper and paper towels. We had 6 adults and had a fantastic time there.
