We loved having all the space in the condo. It was very clean and I especially enjoyed having the coffee maker/pods available each day. The furnishing were a bit worn but the cleanliness, coffee, amazing staff, great parking, beautiful grounds, close proximity to downtown and the waterfront deck made for a great stay! Thank you Wellington Resort!

Endless space and lovely view of the ocean! My wife and I booked a regular room and couldn't believe how big the room was. We thought they gave us the wrong room at first. We did not want to leave. Awesome stay.
