"The location of the condo was great! Conveniently located near a lot of restaurants, shops, etc. Right on the beach and just a couple minute walk to the beach! The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I particularly liked the fact that beach chair service was included each day of our stay. And the fact that we didn't have to pay for parking was also a plus.The only thing I would say is that the condo could use some updating. New furniture as you can see the wear and tear, new fridge (there was a lot of rust on the side and on the inside freezer rack), new washer/dryer as both were extremely loud when in use. The sitting bench in the bedroom needs replacing as it has started tearing. The ceiling fan in living room has warped. The carpet definitely needs replacing. The tub is verrrry slow at draining which I think is more of a maintenance issue. One of the lamps did not work so I reported that immediately. Other than that, it served our needs and we would definitely be back."
