The condo was just Ok. The condo itself was as advertised pretty much. The pool area and deck is run down and dated. In need of some repairs. Not as nice as the photos lead you to believe. We had ant issue while staying there. We informed the property management company and they provided a can of raid as we did not want the place fumigated while we were staying there. The location is basically one block from the beach. That was OK except being located on a dirt road. It was dark at night going back and forth to the condo after dinner. And the dirt road made it more difficult for walking. There was a good supply of linens, bath towels, beach towels, napkins, and kitchen cloths. We had problems getting the TV to work, we eventually did, but instructions will be helpful.

Enjoyed our stay, condo itself is great, we were 4 and perfect size with all amenities and everything we needed in kitchen (except cheese grater). Road behind wall of pool was quite busy and came as a bit of a surprise to us. Also access to beach was good, but initially not apparent how we were to access beach with fences and vacant lot across street. Overall pleasant stay but road noise on other side of pool wall was detractor.
