This is the 3rd year that we have stayed in this same unit. It has been perfect for our family of 4. The condo has a view of the ocean from the balcony, but I'm not sure I would call it an "ocean view". Nevertheless, it is on the opposite side of the building from the pool or any other condo buildings, which makes it quiet most of the time. The balcony has direct sun in the morning, so it can be a little bright in the master bedroom, but the evenings are very nice on the balcony in the shade. The complex is not "on" the beach, but it is beachfront. There are no buildings between the complex and the beach. It has a direct, fairly short path through the dunes, and as of this year, most of the walk is on a brand new boardwalk! The beach here also seems quieter than the more crowded beaches farther south.The unit itself is always clean when we arrive, and we have taken our small dog with us each time with no issues. We have no complaints about the way the unit is maintained.The pool and hot tub in the condo complex are always well kept and working. The pool area leads to the beach path, with a rinse station in between. Parking is always easy and there was active security on premises this year.You'll enjoy your stay here!
