Fun, sun and family time!
We had an amazing time. The unit was great and the beds were very comfy! The main buliding is under renovations but to be expected being directly across the gulf. Would definitely recommend and will book again

Great condo..
We enjoyed the condo. It did smell like mold so we bought a candle to burn and it helped a bit. The host was very sweet and offered the cleaning crew to come out, however, the condo wasnt dirty, it just had a mold smell. My parents ended up leaving early due to this. We did make the best of our stay and appreciate the host for trying to fix the issue immediately. Having the wagon with the sand toys was a winner for my niece and her friend.
