When we saw the property listed; it said rent 4 nights and fifth night free. This was in May when we contacted them regarding the 5th night free we were told that expired in November. So the ad on line was a little misleading. We did enjoy our stay.

Wonderful condo with a beautiful view. Right on the beach. Down a little ways from the main drag so the beach was populated but not crowded. Enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset and saw dolphins every morning not far off the beach. It was amazing. Could walk down to the main drag, was a little bit of a hike but doable. Lots to do in the area if you choose or just relax and enjoy the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location overlooking the beach. Plenty to do without the big crowds found at other popular vacation spots further south. Cool mornings with bright sunshine throughout day. I made use of the hot tub , pool and local golf courses. The zoo was also a fun afternoon. I’ll be back and bring a couple golfing buddies next time.
