Carolyn greeted us on the first day. Love the keycode entry rather than having to meet to pick up the key. Also made it convenient for our stay with coming and going and not worrying about having a key. We had 3 adults and 2 toddlers and it worked out very well. The toddlers enjoyed the pool and also being able to walk literally right across the street to the ocean. The sandy beach is not across the street, more of a surfing, kayaking beach, but the sandy beach is a few blocks down. VERY convenient in terms of location and walking distance to grocery, Starbucks, local coffee shops and restaurants, and shops. The kitchen was well equipped for the meals we prepared while there and we enjoyed eating outside on the patio table almost every meal. The condo was ready for guests with extra linens and towels with all beds (including couch beds) already made up. We had beach towels and other beach supplies (boogie board, snorkel gear, bucket/shovel, chairs, umbrella) available too. I would highly recommend Carolyn's place to stay. It is very different than staying in a hotel, but felt so home-like and comfortable, especially with toddlers having a separate area to nap unlike a hotel!
