Pros:

This condo was nearly perfect. Like other's have said, it's on the quieter side of the beach, but if you want the hustle of PCB, it's only a few minutes down the road. The staff was great and welcoming. Condo was stocked with everything needed, down to food seasonings. One minor request, is to have some cushions on the chairs outside. Maybe they had them but I wasn't aware. I almost didn't want to leave a review because this is a gem i want to keep to myself lol. I will definitely return to this one.

Cons:

None.

We had a glorious week stay in late October ... weather was perfect and no crowds!
Pros:

The large, private balcony was wonderful! Fantastic view. We also enjoyed the chair service, which was included in the overall price of the unit. The large outdoor hot tub and two outdoor pools (one heated) were also very clean and enjoyable.

Cons:

Nothing! The only improvement that I could suggest is a sliding screen door in the master bedroom. It would have been nice to open the glass sliding door and be able to listen to the ocean while we slept on the cooler nights.

Superb
Pros:

Loved the balcony and the view.

Cons:

The T.V. only had streaming. There wasn't any cable. For the price of the condo, we expected some sort of local television
