Our stay was fantastic! The oceanfront view was absolutely amazing and really made the trip special. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had great amenities. The location was perfect — everything we wanted to experience off the island was only about 20 minutes away. I’m really glad we chose this condo and this location!

Location and Condo were great. Easy check-in and out. The only two items that disappointed were the washer/dryer and lack of shampoo/soap for showers. Washer and dryer are not located within the condo but rather coin operated machines down the hall.
