We had a great stay. However, there are few things that others should consider.
Pros
- Our unit (506) was immaculate. The BEST views we have ever had (and that's saying a lot). Right on top of the water with the sounds of waves crashing was priceless.
- Beach is right around the corner with easy access and a 1-2 minute walk. Additional beaches very close by (5-30 minutes walking) including some great ones for snorkeling (e.g. airport beach). We were even able to walk to black rock beach for snorkeling (about a 30 minute walk) on the beach.
- Supermarket and other stores within walking distance (no need to stop at Costco when you get in :-)
- GREAT food trucks within walking distance
- Concierge Susan, was great as well as others at front desk were welcoming and helpful.
Cons
- The pool is ok. But it wasn't important to us as the proximity to the beach, the unit itself and the views were more important to us than the pool.
- We missed having a smart TV (and perhaps a newer/bigger TV). This should be an easy and inexpensive fix as it would have been nicer to have this feature at night (especially given how great the rest of the unit was).
- There was some construction going on. While the posted hours were 8-5pm, on multiple days, they started earlier (more like 7:15/7:30 or so), with drilling right outside our door. I would recommend the management company address is with the construction team.
Overall, LOVED IT and pretty much sure that we will try to book at the same property for our next trip (as long as we can get 5th floor or higher).
