I read reviews often both good and bad to get a feel for the accuracy of the experience but rarely do I post myself. However given my experience at this place felt it was necessary:
Ant problems in the kitchen. They were coming in from the joint between backsplash and counter. The moment we left fruit on the counter the ants were everywhere. Complained to Oceanfront and was told by Jordyn that the contract indicates pest are normal and no compensation. They set up Terra ant traps on counter, sink area, island etc. Suffice to say the family didn’t really feel like eating or being in that area.
The bathroom shower area are showing their age: shower grime on glass doors, mold in the joints, dirt/grime on baseboards.
Lastly, there was a cockroach found in the front entrance - not sure if it just came from the front door or indicative of the buildings overall sanitary conditions but it contributed to our negative experience.
The pictures are accurate on a macro level but once you get in and look at the details, you see the condo for what it is; a unit that was renovated but showing its age in wear and tear.
In the end it’s a question of managing expectations; i have no problems sleeping and eating with the ants if i’m going camping, but when i pay this type of rates i expected a better experience.
In summary:
Pros: physical size of condo (we fit 4 adults , 2 kids), amenities like towels, beach chairs, appliances), pool on premise.
Cons: ants and cockroach, bathroom size and cleanliness, price.
