Karen's condo is a beautiful location right on the beach that is a great alternative if you don't like resorts. The decor is stylish, the lanai is comfortable to use all hours of the day they are equipped with most of the beach gear you would want to use. The beach is so close and so pretty. If you want to escape the sand when the sun is high overhead, you can spot turtles swimming in the water from the master bedroom window or the lanai. There was a minor issue with the electrical when we first got there and Karen responded promptly and resolved the situation rapidly with little-to-no disruption to our trip.
