The condo was exactly as described and the check-in and out process was easy. Our only downside was that the elevator was out of service during all but the last day of our stay, but that's not the unit owner's fault. We just got a few extra steps in!

We were pleasantly surprised that the photos and description of this property were accurate. The condo exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning with the beautiful view. And our kids loved being able to go back and forth between the beach and the pool easily.

The elevator was out of service both upon arrival and leaving. Lugging loads of suitcases up and down 5 flights of stairs with a toddler in the rain is far from ideal. The only ice machine available was out of service, as well. There is no bathroom on the main level to utilize when coming to/from beach or by the pool.

Overall the property worked well for the 7 of us. There is no laundry in the unit. There is a laundry room on the first floor with coin laundry. It would have been so much better with kids to have laundry in the unit.
