Plenty of space in the condo for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Lots of kitchenware available for cooking. Enjoyed convenient beach and pool access, and security at the condo complex seemed very good. Overall the condo was clean, but the couches had a dog smell even though pets are supposedly not allowed at this property, and they were sandy. ##### Denise R.
