  • Skisundance
    "A small condo community with very few renters. Owners are very friendly, but also allow you to have your own space. The pool is rarely used. Spring break sees more visitors, so that is the busiest time. You can walk for miles on the beach - or pop across the street for shopping and at least 3 restaurants."
