Very nice modest place to stay clean, AC worked great..but it would be nice if they added shampoo conditioner and sheets would be white to look more modern. I mean place was very clean just little touches for it to look newer more modern.

Cute, clean and great location!

We loved our stay in this cute condo and would return and recommend. We found the size just right for the two of us. The condo was clean with a very comfortable king bed and a fully stocked kitchen. The location was conveniently located mid island and across the street from the beach access path. We also liked eating on the balcony. It is covered so if it rains you can still enjoy some outdoor time.
