The condo is beautiful, and had been updated since our last stay at this particular condo. 3 bathrooms and two bedrooms with a couch that lets down into a double bed. We had plenty of room without feeling like we were on top of each other.

Memorial Weekend Getaway
For Memorial weekend it wasn’t too busy. The room does need to be updated. Everything else is great. The 3 pools was nice and not overcrowded. My biggest complaint is the elevator being SLOW, MUGGY, and HOT. The room is on the 3rd floor, which is fine you can take the stairs or elevator. But theres an additional flight of stairs to get to the room, after you’ve taken the elevator. Making it difficult to carry things like an ice chest or wagon for the kids. Overall good experience though.

I booked this condo for my family daughters this past weekend. The entrance to the complex from Seawall Blvd was under construction during our stay but do not let it negatively mislead you like it almost did us. The condo itself and pool area was everything pictured.
