This vacation rental had its good and bad points. I went with my husband, 2 children (ages 1 and 5), my parents, and my mother-in-law. All the adults appreciated having their own bathrooms and soft beds. We were just a short walk to the beach, which allowed us to easily go back to the condo if we forgot something or had to use the restroom.
We were not thrilled with the fact that homeless people were just steps away from the rental. There was one man who seemingly slept nightly behind the dumpster (which is in the alley by the carport). We saw several homeless men drinking alcohol by our trash can more than once. I informed Bluewater and was told to inform the police if they step foot on the property, which they did not appear to do. It did make me uncomfortable to have them hanging around the property every day, especially given the fact that I have young children and elderly family.
The condo is also right next to a noisy restaurant. You can't sit on the patio in the evenings without hearing it. We often smelled marijuana in the evenings while sitting on the patio-I'm not sure if this was from other nearby rentals or the restaurant. Perhaps if we were a younger crowd, all of these things would not have bothered us, but given the fact that this was a family vacation, it was not at all what I was looking for. I would not stay again.
