I had reserved this apartment when there were no reviews - in a sense took a gamble and so providing a more detailed review for the future travelers. As a reference, we were a family of 6 adults.
PROS:
- Very clean and new apartment! Has all the basic needs (shampoo, towels, drying rack, kitchen plates & utensils, etc.).
- 2 patios and washer & dishwasher are a plus. The apartment also has a smart TV.
- Not at the beachfront, but is only a few blocks away from the beach. Very convenient.
CONS:
- Not a true 4 bedroom. The apartment has 3 bedrooms with doors, but the fourth bedroom is just a bed placed in the common area of the second floor (so no doors & the open area is connected to the first floor).
- No ACs in the 3 bedrooms that have doors. When we were there, the weather was pretty hot even at night, so opening the windows in each of the bedrooms was not sufficient to keep cool at night. The second night, we ended up turning on the ACs in the living room and the “fourth bedroom” in the common area of the second floor and leaving all the bedroom doors open during the night. This meant that people woke up multiple times throughout the night when others went to the bathroom (because of the noise & lights).
Other considerations:
- The apartment has a second floor, which you can get to by climbing a narrow spiral staircase. For children or seniors, this may be a challenge.
- Pretty small space given that the apartment can host up to 7 people.
- Shower stall in the second floor is very small & narrow. The curtains are pretty long, too, so make sure you don’t trip on it.
Overall, good value given that it’s a new & clean apartment and is close to the beach, but I probably will choose to stay at again depending on the group I’m traveling with and the time of the year.
