The condo provided all the extras like beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach towels. The room was a little dated and the carpets were a bit stained but for the price it was great. It had a full kitchen with all the appliances to make meals there while staying and we didn’t feel like we had to go out for every meal. The only downside we had which was our fault...

"Not great, but good enough considering the price. It's quite old and could definitely use some sprucing up, but that would probably cost a lot of money they likely don't have. No bugs (as opposed to the Motel 6 in Carlsbad I stayed at before here). A/C worked well, bed was comfortable enough for me, and the Cox Cable had plenty of choices."
