Our group of 12, consisting of 7 adults and 5 kids ages 1 thru' 8, had a wonderful time at this condo. When we weren't at the beach or the pool the kids seemed to enjoy hanging out together in the living room watching movies and the adults spent any free time on the balcony. It never felt cramped or uncomfortable at all - and I have to admit I was a bit concerned at the thought of 12 or 13 people spending 7 days and nights together under the same roof.
The extras provided at the condo really put it a step above the other condos we've rented in the past. There was a 12 x 12 easy-up tent, a half dozen beach chairs, a small inflatable raft that the kids really enjoyed riding the surf in, a couple pool noodles, a ton of sand toys, a ton of beach towels - seriously, probably 15 or 20 beach towels, even sunscreen and straw hats! We added to the collection a couple kite set-ups, an XL beach ball, some sand toys, some kid-sized nets, etc. We were so thankful for all the extras included and happy to be able to contribute to the collection of beach fun stuff! :-)
The kitchen was extremely well equipped, too, which was really convenient.
I had always wanted to stay at Long Beach because of the abundance of floor to ceiling glass and it did not disappoint. Even though we had 3 vehicles in our group we never found parking to be an issue. Likewise, we rarely had to wait for an elevator, even though we were there mid-June. The pools were great and the beach was beautiful. Great resort.
The only thing I can think of that was not a positive was the sleeper sofa - that was not fit for sleeping, not even for little ones, sorry to say. We couldn't even get it to extend out flat. We bought an inflatable mattress though and had a couple of the kids sleep on that in the living room so it all worked out. A couple foam flip chairs or a folding foam mattress would be great to have on hand.
Overall it was a huge success - great condo, great stay, great time was had by all, and we hope to do it again next year!
Thanks so much, Josh!
