Probably our only complaints are 1) all the cupboards in the kitchen were already full with kitchen items (glasses, plates, pots, pans, and misc. items) so there was really no room except the counters for non-refrigerated food we purchased for our stay. And 2) No food items, like salt, pepper and other condiments were provided like they are in most other rentals. Otherwise, we had...
Read moreOne of the most affordable options we found, and perfect for my daughter and I. The ocean was right across the street and the tide pools boasted a small sea turtle and many brightly colored fish. The sunsets lit up the sky and could be viewed from our condo and the beach. Although the complex is a little older it was perfect and we will definitely...
