Great condo with easy access to pool and beach

Everything was great…from location to size and easy check-in. Lots of restaurants close by. I was worried that we would hear all the noise from the pool but that wasn’t an issue at all. We really enjoyed being that close to the pool. The walk to the beach was easy as well.

Wonderful trip!

This condo was perfect for our family of four! We had the best vacation. The pool was great and right outside of the condo, but still gave plenty of privacy when we weren't swimming. The beach was really a short walk and not crowded. We loved that we could get anything we needed--lunch, dinner, sunscreen, goggles, coffee, etc--just by walking to the shops, and our kids loved the arts and crafts in the Arts Village. We would absolutely return! Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful condo!
