We have never stayed at a space that has been run by a management company and I guess that we have become accustomed to meeting the hosts and truly enjoyed those interactions. This seemed very business like. After all you can rent items from the management co. The space is large and clean. Noise carries from downstairs to upstairs very easily. Beds are good. Remodel work is Nice enough. Location is quite good for the beach and a moderate walk to downtown. A hotel may offer better attention to your needs sans kitchen. While some places may go overboard on the home touches this was the opposite and would likely be a better spot for a longer term guest who wouldn’t mind purchasing many day to day items.
