Was a really clean and comfortable condo..They even left a goodie bag for us. Ive rented a lot of condos and never recieved a welcome gift. I thought that was a nice touch! Great view of ocean. Plenty of seating on patio. The ONLY thing i can complain about is the elevators. There is only 2 so the wait can be long at times. One even broke down during our stay so that made things a little worse. The condo itself is absolutely wonderful. I would rent again. It was very homey and had everything we needed. It is in a good location as well.
