Great condo and excellent location

This was a great condo! Stayed here in early August with two adults and two older teens. Condo is well maintained. Great communication with the owner. We had everything we needed for our stay. Extremely close and easy access to the beach. We did buy beach chairs/umbrella at Walmart because the rental set up was set back from the beach a fair amount and the tents were required to be in the very back of the beach front. Would stay here again!
