Perfect Location on LBK
This little condo was so clean and cozy we had the most relaxing time away. We typically stay on the beach side, but were looking for something last minute. I loved the feel of the 2nd floor view from the balcony. The pool and hot tub were almost always empty and a short walk across the street to the beautiful gulf😍 Comfortable seating in living room and bed. We will be back!
