Perfect little get-a-way

Quite neighborhood and close to the beach. Perfect for a small family with young children. Within walking distance to the beach. The condo was very clean and welcoming. The patio is weathered and needs updating. This was a perfect fit for us and will be staying here again.

Condo is super cute and beds are comfortable. Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay. My husband loves to fish so he enjoyed being close to the lagoon in the evening. The only negative that makes me never want to stay here again, is that there is a resident that watches your every single move knowing you are a renter. She told us multiple times what we were doing wrong (we didn't do anything wrong) and even moved my husband's kayak one day while we were gone to the beach bc she didn't like where we were storing it. It is really a shame bc we loved the condo.
