Great time was had by all. The condo was very clean and well appointed with every and anything you could possibly need. The host, Addie, was super responsive. The only issue we had was the TV in the master was not working so I contacted Addie and a new TV was bought and installed the next day! Super close to the beach, just a short walk. Loved it!
