This property, like others in this development, is set.back from the beach — a bit of a hike across a couple of small dunes to the waves. Which is actually really great because it affords some privacy. Kids and pets will love the hike back and forth. Disabled folks who need assistance when walking may find it difficult. The Bayshore Club public access a few doors down might be better (I’m guessing; never actually saw it). The beach itself is wide, uncrowded, very pleasant to walk on.
The ocean view from the property is a bit obstructed but it still has a beach feel,. When we were inside, we enjoyed the upper common area with the fireplace. Amenities are in pretty good condition. Pool table is in great shape, heat works, etc. We were surprised to see that the garage is usable, which makes some things easier. Kitchen is well stocked. Tons of towels (though no beach towels). They threatened not to have enough paper products, but when we got there, there was plenty including extra toilet-paper rolls. So we brought extras for nothing.
The property management company was helpful enough but sometimes slow to respond to messages. Payment process can be a bit convoluted but their email explained what to do.
The one big negative here, as noted in other reviews, is the cleanliness. Particularly in the bathrooms — moldy shower curtains, stains on the floor, etc. We debated telling the management company, but clearly it’s a chronic issue and we didn’t want a hassle or for them to make things worse. Suggest bringing shower shoes at a minimum. For the price, I’d expect thorough cleaning between renters.
Overall, it’s a great property and we had an awesome time. Not spectacular, and not the cleanest, but pleasant with some commendable unique features. We’d come here again, but if we do, we’d be ready to do a little bathroom scrubbing on day 1.
