"This was the perfect family getaway! Everything about the property was clean, updated, easy to navigate and well kept. The pool was wonderful our kids were in it everyday. We spent most mornings and nights relaxing on the lanai. The home came equipped with every piece of equipment you may need during your stay. They had air mattresses for our little ones and the condo itself was very cozy. They provide all beach necessities which was great. Stephen was great at communicating with us before and during our stay. We will 100% be back to stay here."
