The location is fantastic, but there's a big BUT here.
With unreliable and inconsistent WiFi, this place isn't a good spot if you're planning on doing any work.
There are a lot of little details that will help you understand why it's the lowest priced place on the boardwalk and that you get what you pay for.
Toilet required removing lid and jiggling with the chain to flush about every other flush. Faucet in bathroom leaked unless fiddled with when shutting off. Screen door in back didn't work and the screen door in front was hard to open and close. In the summer you want the doors open for a cross breeze and need the screens to keep the many, many flies out. Only one side of the BBQ works. And the freezer opens when the refrigerator is open or shut. We got duct tape to keep it shut. Patio sofa covering was falling apart and would leave pieces scattered across patio every time you removed or replaced it.
There was a leak and big wet spot on carpet when we arrived which required having people in the unit to look at and fix. Not ideal things to be dealing with during Covid. Furthermore, owner wouldn't negotiate with me WHEN someone could come in to the unit. Choices given to me by Al were, leave the property or let the worker in. And of course the worker arrived the one morning when I had back-to-back meetings which I now had to take in the bedroom where WiFi was weakest.
When his daughter came around to inspect the wet spot, she came with no mask, expecting just to come in and do her business. I had to offer her a disposable mask. She also, arrived just as breakfast had been served forcing me to move all of our dishes out to the patio full of flies. Again, it would have been extremely appreciated on my part if they had made an effort to coordinate their visits with me.
Aside from laundry and other basic cleaning, the onus of cleaning dishes and other things are left to guests. I found a couple of dirty items tucked away in the drawers. The outdoor tables had grease and cup stains on it. For my own peace of mind, I came prepared to disinfect all surfaces anyway, but I didn't expect to have to do actual cleaning. Not the end of the world, but you'd expect more due diligence around keeping up of the property. Especially around the leak, which was a known issue. The fixing of it didn't take long, but given that they have 6 hours between check out and check in, you'd expect these details to be managed. You'd also expect to have them coordinate convenient times for them to enter the property.
Again, location is great on boardwalk and enjoyed the beach, bay, and sunsets immensely, I wouldn't return to a property run by Al. I found the owners to be inconsiderate and insensitive within the context of the pandemic and of my own sense of personal space and safety.
