"We traveled for a mini vacation with our kids from Maryland and we had a great time. We flew down so the fact that the rental had a beach closet was a win-win because we had no way to pack all of those items! The condo was upgraded and had a lot of great features and we also had a great amount of space! Parking was amazing too, because it was literally right beside the front door of the condo which made it so nice for loading and unloading! We would definitely stay here again!"
