The Good: Location is right on the beach. Floor plan and sleeping situation was perfect for our group of 7 adults and one toddler. Building is somewhat older but comfortable. Food market only minutes away by foot was very convenient. Covered parking was very handy and we stored beach stuff in the cars, which saved us from carrying it all up the stairs and kept the sand out of the unit. One of our cars was an SUV with a car top carrier. It was too tall for the covered parking so we had to leave it out in the sun. The sun room and balconies were very nice... great views, always a breeze, felt like you were on the beach but only steps away from the fridge.
The kitchen was well supplied with cookware and appliances. We did receive a message advising us of limited amounts of trash bags, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, bath tissue, bath soap, etc. It would have been nice to get this information sooner since we were already packed and on the road when we found this out.
The Bad: Our check in time was 4:00, but received a text at 3:00 letting us know we would not be able to get in until 6:00 because the cleaners were running late. Pretty much screwed up our first evening.
To walk to the beach you must pass through a locked gate. In the unit there were 2 key fobs which provided access. With 7 adults, 2 fobs were not enough. I called to try to get more but was denied. The convienience of being right on the beach was offset a bit by having to constantly shuffle the key fobs around everytime someone went back or forth.
The other: We ended up using Ike's beach service to rent an umbrella and a couple chairs. This service was very convenient and tho not cheap, well worth not having to set stuff up and take it down every day.
In conclusion I felt this rental was a good value and we had nice time staying there. If I went back with the same group of people, I might shop around just to compare but wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again.
