"Great location and unit is fun!"

Remodeled Beachfront Condo | Ocean Views & Steps to the Sand

8/10 Good

"Home was decorated lovely… Patio was phenomenal… My only complaint would be about the sleeping situation… The bunkbed is dangerous… The top bunk is so high and so close to the ceiling it would be impossible not to bump your head… And there should be at least one king size bed and two twin beds just to accommodate four people more comfortably… Mattresses should be replaced on the queen's other than that we loved our stay"
