We loved staying here! It was super clean, just the right amount of space for the 8 of us, and had everything you could need! The jacuzzi, the pink pong, the fire pit .. made staying here perfect. And, the short walk to beach, shops or restaurants made for a perfect location.

The condo was amazing. Had a nice little backyard. We had two little dogs. It was very convenient. We walked all the restaurants on the beach.
