First family beach trip

The host was amazing at giving us pointers for our 17 month old daughter for her first beach trip. The condo was the perfect size for a family of 3-5. Everything was super clean. The kitchen had everything we needed - even a pizza cutter! Haha. The pools were perfect for our daughter. My husbands favorite was the fishing docks. It was the best place and we are already planning our trip for next year.

Great place to stay!

It rained a lot but having all of the streaming channels available helped tremendously. The place was spotless, all the bedding was comfortable, nice fluffy towels, providing dark makeup removing wash cloths made me feel like I had a special connection with the owners of this unit! Bathroom was huge with nice walk-in shower. I would only recommend that an outside rinsing station be installed for getting all of the beach sand off so it does not get tracked into the unit. Has everything you need - we will rent this unit again next year! 100% recommendation this place to any one with a small family.
