Good location, reasonable priced, dated condo

It seems to be well kept, however dated. Bedroom carpets need to be cleaned or replaced. Needed more towels for a large family. Washer needs to be replaced. Makes noises.

Smooth and the property was amazing and definitely memorable. The host was so nice and helpful all the way. I really enjoyed the view of the water and the size of the balcony. Plenty of room for the family and the babies enjoyed the toys they left. Definitely worth coming back

Great condo and location

We do an annual family trip each year and this one was the best. We had a party of 9 and this condo had plenty of space where everyone was not crowded. It was fully stocked. The location was wonderful and enjoyed not having to wait for elevators. My family wants to book this condo again for next year.
