    “Absolutely amazing. The views were spectacular, location was great with a 1-2 minute walk on to the beachfront and a 5 minute walk to the 7-11, subway, and a restaurant. Pool and spa were great for the kids. The apartment itself was comfortable with heat pumps and comfy furniture. Would totally recommend.”
