We had a wonderful time!! The check in process was as easy as showing up. The parking is close to the elevator used to access the unit, and there are carts to use to take your luggage up and down from the unit. The unit was very clean, and there was a wonderful view from the patio. The unit is set up perfectly for two couples to have their own room with a full bathroom each, or for a family with kids who do not mind sharing a king size bed. They are both set up as a “master bedroom”, although we found the furniture in the back room (with the TV) was a little more comfortable and private - so we let the kids have the ocean view room. :) We did not use the pull out couch as a bed, so cannot comment on how that works out/comfort of the bed in the couch. We never ran out of warm water for showering - even when all 4 of us came back to shower at the end of the day before bed. There were 4 backpack style beach chairs to use as well as a small hard “6-pack size” cooler. There is an ice maker in the freezer (which we realized after buying a bag of ice - oops!). The washer/dryer is in the unit in a closet in the kitchen. They left plenty of dishwasher and laundry pods to do at least one load of dishes/laundry per day (and there were some left over when we left), as well as dryer sheets. Also provided a brand new dish sponge as well as dish soap for the kitchen, and small trial size shampoo/conditioner/lotion in the bathroom. Also provided a small bar soap for washing hands in the bathroom. There were also a few spices, cooking spray and coffee filters for our use, but am unsure if this is standard, or if these were left from previous renters, so I would not rely on these being here all the time. Kitchen was well equipped with pots/pans/utensils/cups/mugs/coffee maker (a must)/toaster/etc. There is no AC in the unit as described in the description, but they have ceiling fans in both bedrooms and the living room, as well as three large upright fans to use - we were there when it was very warm, and the three fans were perfect to help it cool down at night and use to blow over us while sleeping. The patio door and front door are on opposite sides of the unit, and if you open both with the screen doors closed (front screen door has a lock on it), then it gives you a nice cross breeze as well.
Pool was very nice, and lounge chairs/BBQs at the pool area were in good working condition and comfortable. Several tenants were using the BBQ each night and they seemed to work well, although we did not use them. There is a shower to rinse sand off of you after coming up from the beach. We were able to swim at the beach, but not a great “lounging” beach. Waves crash into the sand and hit the water wall occasionally, but you can walk and play on the beach and swim no problem. We loved how many turtles we saw coming up for air along the coastline.
Overall, we had a wonderful time for our stay. Hopefully this review helps some of the other’s who have the same questions about washer and drier, unit amenities, etc that we had. :)
