The condo was perfect for a birthday celebration with my friend. First time out in 8 months and the sound of the ocean & salty air were wonderful. Loved the privacy of two bedrooms en-suite at opposite ends of the living area because we had different nighttime/morning habits. Kitchen was great for cooking...many thoughtful touches, almost everything you need is there, and JC helped me out when I forgot my blender. The inclusion of fans was thoughtful because condo, despite being oceanfront, can get warm. The building is very well-kept & the provided parking (one space) is a big plus as the area is quite busy.
There’s a huge supermarket a block away and a CVS on the corner. Lots of coffee & breakfast spots. Easy starting point to get almost anywhere in 15-20 minutes: Little Italy, downtown, Shelter Island, Old Town.
For vulnerable guests in the time of the pandemic: I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the boardwalk got very crowded and sadly, very few people wore masks or respected social distancing.
Also, the boardwalk on this particular weekend was noisy all day into the wee hours (as another reviewer mentioned). Might have been an aberration since it’s the fall; supposedly that’s more a summer thing on Mission Beach. All good if a lot of activity is your thing. The managers pointed out this is a busy recreation spot for surfers & college students, with busy, active bars everywhere. That’s on me for not knowing & doesn’t change the fact the condo is great & as advertised, the managers are terrific & immediately responsive, and the view is unparalleled.
