Great location for beach getaway

Had a family vacation for the weekend at the beach. Easy access and parking for condo. All information for check in and check out was listed on our account and email. Perfect walking distance for the beach and a quick drive if you want to bring beach items to stay for the day. Condo was a great location between the beach and all the local shops and restaurants around town. It was also very clean and had everything you needed for cooking and laundry. Highly recommend it!
