We were a little concerned at first on the location, but it turned out to be wonderful! The public access for the beach is 3 short blocks away and the owners provide a cart to use. We brought our own chairs and a tent, but we used the umbrella a few times when it was just my husband and I. There are plenty of items available to use in the condo and we didn't lack anything we needed. I would recommend having some plastic cups for kids. Ours are old enough to use glass, but smaller kids might struggle with the heavy glasses. The condo is beautiful and so cozy. Ladies - if you have long hair, you will love the shower - excellent water pressure! (This is a big deal to us!) The condo is decorated beautifully and my son (age 14) said it "feels like home" and "we should go back again". We didn't want to leave! The pool is small but there is hardly anyone around, so we had it all to ourselves - what a bonus! There is a grocery store just a couple miles down the road that served us perfectly. Our only concerns were the white washcloths were stained, and it makes you wonder what happened to them, but we washed them thoroughly and used as is. I left a note with the management company to replace if possible. The only other thing is the dryer made a clanking noise that just echoed throughout the condo and made watching tv difficult, so we used it as little as possible. Works great, just noisy. I notified the management company about it as well. Overall, those two minor things didn't make or break our trip. The condo is great and for a family of four on a budget, this is a perfect location. Thank you for making my husband's birthday and our July 4th holiday vacation week one to remember! This condo is definitely going in the favorites!
