The Space

This condo was perfect for my husband and myself. Kelli was very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. The condo is in an excellent location. We enjoyed not having to get in the car if we didn't want to and that we had several restaurants, coffee shops, retail shops, and a convenient store within the complex. The beach is so convenient, just a short walk across the street and views are spectacular. We will definitely visit this condo again!!

Great view of the beach. 4-5 minutes from leaving our door to sitting in the sand.The pool in the condo was closed for resurfacing, and we were not aware until we arrived. It would not have changed our plans and there are other pools on the property--but it should be disclosed.
