It was a great place to stay. Very clean inside and out. Very close to beach. Only thing would suggest is to make more ADA compliant for people with disabilities.

Everything was great- my only issue was that the top bunk was noisy, but otherwise awesome!

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay at the salty melons condo. It had everything needed to entertain and accommodate our kids of ages 2,5, and 7. The board games were a hit, the utensils and cookware being available helped a lot and reduced our need to travel and/or purchase extra items for our trip. From the hair dryer, iron and ironing board, to the speaker provided. The amenities were amazing and family friendly. The yacht club was so beautiful and a great background for us to take family pictures at. We highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back.
