WHAT WE LIKED:
The condo was very clean. The furniture, including the beds, were comfortable. The condo complex was quiet and close to a lovely beach. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, glassware, utensils, and pots & pans. There was a nice view of palm trees and foliage from the large windows. The screened-in porch had a view of the beach and is large enough to hold a table and 4 chairs as well as a lounge chair. The pool is nice. We appreciated the covered parking spot. Check-in and check-out were simple and easy.
WHAT WE DIDN'T LIKE:
While this unit is advertised as beachfront, it is not. The rear of the complex itself is, but this unit is toward the street side of the complex so there is a 2-3 minute walk to the beach, which is significant when you are carrying chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, etc. The view of the beach is from the balcony and part of the living room only. There is no view from the bedrooms other than the parking lot. Also, the condo needs a facelift. The paint and baseboards are scuffed . The kitchen appliances are ancient (but work fine), although there is no ice maker in the freezer. Unless you’re willing to fill the ice trays, you’ll need to buy ice. The bathrooms have updated vanities and countertops, but one bath has an old tub with a rusted drain and rubber drain stopper. The toilets are the older low ones. The rollers on the folding closet doors in one bedroom are broken and the front door hinges are very squeaky, even after we applied WD-40. The A/C works well in the main part of the condo but the master bedroom was very warm even when we left the bedroom door open at night. A few of the living room outlets did not work. The beach furniture provided was broken and rusted, but the management company graciously provided new ones on our request. Be aware that this unit is on the 3rd floor. There is an elevator but it was somewhat cumbersome carrying our luggage and groceries in and out and when taking our pet outside.
FYI: There are 2 grocery stores and several restaurants within a 5 minute drive. There are few restaurants that deliver, and none within walking distance, so be prepared for a short drive.
