Birthday trip

This condo is very pretty, parking is easy, location is convenient. The one elevator is a bit slow, and the pool area isn’t anything to write home about, but that isn’t why we were there anyway. The view is exactly what I’d hoped for and beach access is as easy as it gets. Great value.
