5 Stars - 6 night stay
Pros:
Great location: close to beaches, dining. It took under a minute to get to the beach and we soon found ourselves snorkeling with sea turtles! Well equipped: everything we needed was there including beach towels, umbrella and cooler. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was great to have laundry in the unit. Size: It was great to have room to spread out. The master bedroom and bath were spacious and I loved starting the morning on the balcony with views of the ocean, plumeria trees and many birds keeping me company. Windows: The unit has the ability to create a cross breeze (if it is not too warm) to cool the unit. Cleanliness: the unit was clean with the exception of some stains on the carpet.
Cons:
Extra beds uncomfortable: The Murphy bed wasn’t great, but the pull out sofa was terrible. The mattress was compressed and you could feel the springs through it. We ended up using the sofa cushions on top of it which made for a more cushioned but very uneven surface and led to a poor nights sleep. Air conditioning or lack of it: Only the main room is air conditioned. It manages to keep the living room, kitchen and area with the Murphy bed cool. The master was extremely hot. We moved in all the oscillating fans to it, but it was still uncomfortable. The weather was unseasonably hot, which made opening the windows to create a breeze untenable for all but one day of the visit. Ants: There were many tiny ants in the bathrooms and kitchen, and we saw one cockroach there during our stay. There was a notice posted near the elevators saying that spraying for insects would be happening the following week and that owners were to notify the company of any problem areas. We live in Houston, so we are not unfamiliar with such pests and it didn’t ruin our stay. But if you are not from a southern climate you might want to check to see if they were taken care of.
