This is our second year staying at Empress #704.
We love the location and the spaciousness of the condo. Three families with lots of room and amenities. Will stay again. Like

Beautiful!!
The condo was great - loved the semi-private elevator. Did not have to wait forever to get up to our floor. Nice view. Loved having three bedrooms and three bathrooms! Huge areas to just chill out or watch tv. Great balcony - on the front an one on the back. Only issue we had was the water turned off almost once a day. We had to call a number to get them to turn it back on until they told us how to do it ourselves. The sensors that are there to alert the company to any water issues are very sensitive. Out of our 7 days we were there it happened 5 of them. Overall would definitely rent again if we needed that size unit. Easy walk to the beach. Very clean and welcoming.
