Odd request to turn off AC everytime we leave the unit..we like to come back from a beach day to a cold place. Pillows were the worst. Great location and close to many restaurants

The location was great. The condo was clean, and well supplied. The resort offered use of basics such as coolers. Chairs, boogie boards etc so we didn't have to purchase our own. We had a lovely time and will definatly go back!
