While the condo had a few cosmetic issues, the overall appearance was clean. The refrigerator and microwave were very clean. No dishwasher, but no problem. I rewashed what dishes/utensils we used with very hot water. The view was amazing! Each morning, the sunrise over Diamondhead was amazing. While the kitchen window was small, the view was beautiful. Since we rented a car, the free parking in the garage was handy. Just be sure to adhere to the 6 foot parking garage height. While we waited a few times for the elevator, it is to be expected with such a large property. Within a few blocks you can walk to the beach and many wonderful restaurants. I recommend to anyone on a budget.
