Beautiful view from the balcony and easy half mile walk to several good restaurants. The condo has been redone since the hurricane and everything was nice, comfortable with it being fully furnished. There were a couple of items that needed attention and as soon as I let Helen know, someone was there to fix it within hours. Highly recommend this condo and working with Helen and Thad. They were full of information and very quick with responses. We’ll probably come back in the future and will highly recommend the condo and working with DaBeach!!!
