Our favorite thing about Caroline's place was definitely the sights and sounds of the beach that could be seen and heard from our window and balcony at the end of the hallway. THAT in itself was divine! Though the place was comfortable enough, it is probably better suited for folks staying only a few days, who won't be spending a great deal of time in the apt. and will eat most meals out. Our intention for this 8 day vacation was to get some much needed down time from our hectic lives - to be able to sleep in, hang out in the room at our leisure, and not have to have every meal out. That proved to be difficult during our particular stay. We found the kitchen to be only marginally equipped and functional, and we experienced several other situations during our stay that detracted from our hopes for a carefree, easy vacation experience. I must stress that Caroline did do her best to take care of situations as they arose (some beyond her control) and was very quick and responsive to our texts when we needed something. She truly does care about pleasing her guests. I would like to believe our particular experience was atypical of most, and we would consider staying in one of Caroline's other properties (the one right across the hall looks awesome!) This one simply did not meet our expectations and needs.
