A Place at the Beach
The condo was clean. The heated pool was chilly and the indoor hot tub had too many chemicals! Staff was very nice and helpful. Checkin would have been fine, but I mistakenly thought they were sending me an email with the info I needed. Be sure to call ahead of time to get the gate code!!
