Awesome beach family vacation

The condo was amazing and beautiful. It was clean and had everything we needed (pots, pans, plates, etc) to cook. The decor was gorgeous too. The view was perfect and the distance to the beach was great for my daughter to get the kids and all their stuff down to easily.
