Family beach vacation

Condo was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Guest parking was very difficult as a couple of the units took more than the allotted 1 guest spot. One unit took 3 guest spots and their assigned spot . Hopefully it was just due to holiday week and not a normal taking.We had a wonderful vacation! Thank you!
