We stayed a month at Ricardo’s condo. For a family of 4, this place is very cute & PERFECT location from EVERYTHING. The pictures speak for themselves. This is Ricardo/Vera’s home & you can see the love they put in it. Courtyard was pretty & was always clean. There are 2 buildings w/ 3 units in each, ideal for the pandemic since there weren’t many folks staying there. Kids had the pool to themselves. Outside shower area to rinse off was nice for beach sand. 2 private patios, one that included a grill/oven, I used both a few times. Ricardo is great to talk to & gives you tips for restaurants & places to check out. The beach is .4 miles from condo & steps from strip. Everything was walking distance, including the Mega store & Walmart. Because its 2 building off strip, you don’t get loud music & get peace/quiet. The mattress/pillows are comfortable, don’t worry about cheap beds.
Everything is clean & Ingrid was always a phone call away to help. Here are some suggestions I would make if you stay there. Not heated pool was cool for Dec/Jan, kid’s wetsuits helps. They didn’t have wash clothes, I had to buy but left a lot at condo. The water heater wasn’t turn on the first day & condo gas stopped once during the stay. Make sure Ingrid turns it on & check that there is enough gas for your stay. Combo washer/dryer broke day 2 but Ricardo/Ingrid got us laundry service. We generously tipped the housecleaning, laundry service & Ingrid. She does help w/ lock box & internet day 1. Condo has a 5 gallon filtered water dispenser that they kept supplying. They also have beach chairs/umbrellas/coolers. 1 chair was old & Ingrid replaced it. Beach clubs are very close & many times we splurged & spent the whole day there. It would be nice to have boogie boards & sand toys but we bought some at Walmart & gave it to local kids when we left. It would also be nice if you stay weeks to have house cleaning leave more garbage bags, toilet paper & paper towels when they clean. The first day we stayed we got bit a lot from mosquitos. I would suggest to have Ingrid bomb the place before you got in. I got bug spray & spray the place, once you spray no more mosquitos the rest of your stay. House cleaning cleans w/ doors & patio doors open so bugs come in. Ingrid also got us a can.
In conclusion, this place is really nice for the price you pay. They are honest owners that will make things right for you. It was our best family vacation. Thank you, Ricardo & Ingrid!
