The inside of the apartment was open and clean. The kids loved the bunkbeds and my husband and I appreciated the park view. The beach is literally two buildings away and the park directly across the apartment which was very convenient. With this, the outside/external components were quite disappointing. The description for the apartment we rented needs critical updates as to protect people in general, but especially those with children. Given the COVID times and CDC social distancing guidelines, the patio area surely didn't meet this requirement(s) in the direct middle of the main entrance/exit (no dedicated space) as well as the propped open gates that led directly to the busy driveway. So we couldn't use the outdoor space. And although the no smoking rule was posted, it was clearly not adhered to which disallowed us having windows open and feeling trapped inside the apartment to keep ourselves safe and protected almost like living in a fish bowl. This part was hugely disappointing and nerve-wracking as to protect our family with young children.
The visitors directly above us were excessively loud/partying which led for sleepless nights. Surely, the 721 Apt 1 Unit was not a family-friendly coastal environment as we weren't able to utilize the outside space, which is the primary reason why we chose to rent this space.
