Vacation

Me and my family had a wonderful vacation here, the condo had everything we need and more. The location was ideal for being able to go play golf or go fishing or even pick up take out orders we were close to everything. Being on the second floor facing the ocean was also a huge plus we could watch the beach as the kids took a nap or just sit on the balcony and have a drink and people watch. I would definitely be interested in booking this condo again.

Family Trip

The condo location was perfect in the building as well as overall in PCB. Didn’t have to use an elevator and the sunsets were spectacular. The only bad thing was the kitchen isn’t stocked for kids but everything else was wonderful. Will Hopefully be booking this condo again in future. Thanks Wanda for sharing with us.

Mother's Day Trip

Everything was the way it was described in the listing. Overall, a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Side note, the interaction at the pool was too noisy for my 63 year old mom but my 4 year old enjoyed it. So if there is a significant age gap between individuals in your group, you may want to consider this aspect. However, this didn't take away from the comfort of our stay. Everyone in my group greatly enjoyed being close to the beach as well as being on the 2nd floor. Thanks!
