This condo was exactly as described. It is a corner condo with a view of the ocean from the lanai. I really loved being on the ground floor and the side. It’s a super close walk to the parking lot and the beach with a bit more quiet than the direct ocean facing condos. The walk to the beach was fantastic! Less than 2 minutes and plenty of beach gear to use in the condo. There is even a group of turtles that live near the rocks in front of the condo that ocean researchers came out to study while we were there. A huge turtle even swam up to the beach in about 24” of water one day.
We had young kiddos so naps during the day were slightly difficult. It was pretty noisy upstairs which if the previous review was correct is due to a renovation and the street traffic was heavy obviously during the day.
It is centralized to absolutely everything you would need and we walked to several restaurants, grocery stores, and even equipment rentals! The condo itself is very well stocked. We had a slight disconnect from internet one day but Viktoria was all over it. It was fixed before we even came back for lunch. The location of the condo is what can’t be beat. I’m telling you that the ease of everything, being able to cook meals and wash clothes while being steps from the beach took all the work out of Vacay with the babies.
Two things weren’t great while we were there but I find them situational that others guests may not find. 1. The couch was pretty filthy in the condo. The whole place was clean but there was visible piles of sand and dirt on the couch when we arrived. I laid out the large blankets they provided on top of it so I could be at ease. I completely understand that sand would be so difficult to get out of this material but there was a decent amount. I feel like it was accidentally missed. 2. The staff at the condo were pretty rude. The day we had equipment delivered from auntie snorkel and we put it on the lanai to check it, an employee walked by. He knocked on our door about an hour later (at which point the equipment was already stowed away properly and not on the lanai) and asked if we needed a copy of the rules because “there are a lot of them and equipment is not allowed to be left on the lanai.” I informed him that it has already been put away. The same employee approached me a couple days later while ringing out bathing suits outside the lanai and forewarned me that clothing cannot be left outside. I assured him I had read all the rules but was trying not to bring sand in the condo. My plan was to rinse them, ring them out then bring them in to wash.
There are very sweet people living here full time and I am sure that they have dealt with their fair share of crazy vacationers, but the approach from staff I did not find appropriate or welcoming.
With all that being said, I would absolutely stay here again! This location and amenities can’t be beat! The full time residents next door were the sweetest! We absolutely loved our stay!
