The condo was clean and the view from the balcony and bedroom were great.
The blankets provided on the couch were dirty, as well as the pillows. We always bring our own though because we know that they only clean the sheets in between guests. Which I've never understood.
Be aware that the furniture is very uncomfortable and if you have more than 3 people, there will not be adequate space to hang out and have family time in the evenings. The pull out couch really isn't an option to sleep on because it is so uncomfortable. You can feel every spring and bar. Its not even a comfortable couch to sit on, but since the only other chair in the living space is a wood chair, you don't have much of a choice.
If you like soft, comfy beds....these are not for you. Maybe if you are young, you will not mind, but the bed killed my back and made it very difficult to sleep well.
Also be aware that the condo is missing some useful items, such as a pizza cutter, coffee cups, trash cans in the bedrooms. There she very basic things available, which is good enough. We have been staying in condos in north carolina for years and we were just used to everything being available to you as well as little extra things like games to make the stay even better. Its the little things that count I guess. There are no extras here, just so you know before you pack.
The furniture on the balcony is wonderful.
Also, the staff at the Golden Sands is beyond great. Everywhere we went, they were so friendly and helpful. They were always present wherever you went on the grounds, without being too present. The indoor pool was very nice and warm. The outdoor pool was freezing and could only go in when the sun was directly on it.
The tiki bar has amazing food and the whole atmosphere was very cool with the patio.
Overall, it was a good stay. Not a quiet beach experience, but a good blend for families.
