Pros:
Great location, partial oceanview, and pool view. Fantastic resort - lots of amenities (pool, shuffleboard, tennis and pickleball courts, golf) and easy parking and check-in process. Price was relatively low compared to other units.
Cons:
While the resort was great, the unit itself was lacking in many ways. For example:
Bed is very low, making entry/exit difficult. Also not comfortable, especially for back sleepers.
Placement of air conditioner was poor (despite putting luggage in front), and was pretty weak.
Apartment was "rough around the edges". E.g., stained sofa, chipped side table, very high-pitched squeaky curtain rod, exposed bathroom piping, poor ventilation in bathroom, low shower pressure, slow drainage in shower, no hand towel rack, very weak hair dryer with knob that is hard to operate.
Upon arrival, we found long strands of hair on our pillows and informed the host with the pictures. He offered to replace them, but we didn't want our vacation to be interrupted. Instead, we asked for some laundry detergent to be sent over (we'd rather clean it ourselves just to be sure), but host ignored the request.
Moldy + cracked kitchen cutting board.
Some of my devices had trouble connecting to wifi, but that's probably more of an issue with the resort.
Summary:
We stayed here for Christmas holidays for almost 2 weeks. The location and resort were fantastic. The unit itself was a bit lacking - hopefully the host can remedy the negatives mentioned, most of which are minor fixes. It felt too much of an "investment property" than a vacation home. Nonetheless, we still enjoyed our stay.
