Beautiful and amazing!

We had an amazing family vacation. The condo was beautiful, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. The wagon with all the beach chairs and toys was an added touch to our stay. The resort was absolutely amazing, we loved the lazy river and access to the beach. Location is great and within walking distance to fun attractions. I highly recommend staying here.

Awesome beach vacation

We had such a great time at this place! It was located near so many great restaurants and activities to do. Plus the bridge across the highway to the beach was so nice to have. We even enjoyed the pool/lazy river quite a bit for being lazy after beach days! We’d love to come back.
