Really great condo right on the beachfront. Made it a relaxing place to rent with plenty of space for a family or two.

Most relaxing vacation in years. We chose to stay in the room and not go out.

Great location, very clean, very nice.

I really don't have any dislikes. The only issue we ran into was getting the stove to work properly. It took 2 hours to heat up and still didn't reach 400 degrees. Which it could could have been the users not knowing how to operate it :)
