The good/great:
• Property is extremely clean - and I don't say that lightly - great job!
• Proximity to the beach is excellent - very short/easy walk
• Everything was well stocked - linens, towels, beach gear (chairs, umbrella, beach towels) - great job!
• Property owner was VERY RESPONSIVE - he was all over everything...even our suggestions. The front door outside light burned out while we were there and we texted him and he had someone there the next day. We also suggested an umbrella for the the outside table (just a suggestion). He agreed and had one there literally the next day. This owner is on top of everything. We've stayed at a lot of rental properties and this owner was the the absolute best.
• Electronics - TV's/Wifi all worked great.
• Nice kitchen - well stocked.
• Master BR - spacious
• Place was, as my wife and daughter kept saying. "very cute".
A few things to know:
• Listing says Delray Beach - but it is not. Property is on the border of Briny Breezes and Boynton. About 2-3 miles from Atlantic Ave in Delray (main drag)
• The property is literally right up against a trailer park. It was disconcerting to me when we arrived. I was taken back by it. But by the end of our week I was fine with it. There were no problems at all. And it actually does have a neighborhood feel that grew on me throughout the week.
• I think the interior layout would be better for two people than for three. Yes there are two bedrooms...but the one bathroom is a on the other side of the small house from the bedrooms. So you have to walk across the dining room/living room area to get to the bathroom from the bedrooms. That proved a bit awkward at times, as my wife and I were there with our daughter who recently graduated from college.
• Bathroom is small but fuctional - shower is spacious.
• Hot tub is well maintained, but it is small - two people max at one time.
OVERALL - This owner has done a very nice job with this place. It is small, but tasteful and you can definitely see and feel the pride in ownership. For it's size, I feel it may have been a bit overpriced, but it is mostly booked through the peak months, so apparently the market is willing to pay (as were we). Would we go back? I think we would. And next time, with just 2 people. Overall great job by this property owner. He has made the very best of what he has here, and I commend him for that and am grateful for his outstanding hospitality during our stay.
