Condo was very nice. It was well equipped and had plenty of space for our party of 8. The beautiful patio we greatly enjoyed watching all of the wildlife and boats coming and going. The only downfall for us was the beach. It was a bit of a walk for my elderly in-laws and was much more crowded than where we stayed out in Santa Rosa last year. It is definitely a great place to stay if you enjoy eating out with many options near by. Photo is from the fireworks at the Pier that we were able to see from the balcony.
