"Nice condo with a beautiful view. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with everything we needed. TV’s had several channels to watch. The bed was very comfortable. We stayed the last week of August and never turned the A/C on due to an awesome breeze! The condo was very clean but dated, but well worth the price. We would stay here again."
