This property is a wonderful location! The condo was very clean and accessible to surrounding restaurants, activities for adults and kids, and of course… The beach! It’s right next to a restaurant as well as a candy/ice cream shop. The pool is very big with plenty of space, and great for children of all ages, including babies.
