It's set up with a large seating area so your entire group can relax after a day at the beach as well as a dining area so you can enjoy coffee in the morning before heading out for the day! The sound of the waves provides a relaxing ambiance for you to enjoy this amazing outdoor space. From the balcony, you'll enter into the main living areas of the condo. There's a large, comfortable sectional that provides plenty of seating space, and throw pillows and blankets to get cozy while enjoying a movie. The living room opens to the dining area which has an inviting settee style seat as well as additional chairs.
