"The condo provided was fantastic! It was clean and in great condition, almost everything worked very well (one of the TV remotes didn't work, but it was a non-issue since we didn't care to watch TV there), and the view of the beach was amazing! It's in a very pedestrian friendly area, too. The staff were also very polite and professional. We were able to receive and return our key without any issues. I can definitely picture coming back here again next year!"
