I have stayed at numerous vacation rentals in the past and have always left a positive review; however, in this case, I can not because the advertisement indicated that it was directly on the beach, and there is a building behind it that is directly beachfront, this one is not. During our stay, I was even told by the front desk clerk that the building is NOT considered direct beachfront and you could not set beach chairs on the dry sand area; they had to be on the wet sand area, which is considered "high-tide". None of this mattered because our beach vacation was impacted by huge construction vehicles driving back and forth down the beach, moving sand for a quarter mile each way. The owner suggested we walk a quarter mile north so we could get away from it. We could not get past the area because they had it all fenced off. The owner verified with me that he knew this was going to occur a few days before our stay and did not notify me. I would have canceled immediately, found another place, or canceled my trip. Our family had no other choice, having flown from Michigan, so we tried to make the best of it. Our vacations are 100% beach-themed, and this was a major problem for us. The area is also very noisy and the valet parking lot is directly below the unit. The valet drivers would hit the horn button on key fobs to find vehicles in the lot; this happened all day, every day, and was very noisy. This was the worst vacation rental experience I have had in twenty years.
