Great place! Very clean and updated. The extra amenities (beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, etc) were a helpful surprise. Laundry on site super convenient. There was a complimentary bottle of wine which was super kind (we don’t really drink but appreciate the gesture). Highly recommend this condo!!
