The pool is away from the ocean in the middle of the condo complex (but it's heated if that's important to you). This ain’t the greatest place to stay; it’s pretty institutional-feeling, and the views feel the same from most units, but the location and price are...
Quiet location for this condo, nicely kept grounds and rooms. There’s a large grassy BBQ area next to the pool that makes a fine place to cook that fish you caught today (or bought at Costco). Lots of these units are timeshares, but there are still many vacation...
