Great beach condo

We loved the view of the ocean each day! It was great to have access to the amenities of the Omni Resort with the convenience of also being able to make simple meals (cereal, sandwiches). The space was comfortable and just as pictured on VRBO. Communication from Maggie was great. Would love to stay there again!
