We liked the place but there are a few major issues that would prevent us from booking again. Here are the pros and cons:
Cons:
The mattress was very uncomfortable for us. It’s very hard and my wife and I both woke up with sore hips every day. We sleep on a Leesa at home if that’s helpful for anyone else.
Another reviewer mentioned the loud rushing noise in the bedroom. That’s the water pump for the AC unit that they put in the bedroom closet, and yes it is incredibly loud. The first time it happened it startled me as I was falling asleep. If you use the AC at night and you’re a light sleeper, you will get woken up every hour or so.
The plumbing in general was very loud. Any time someone would use the sink or toilet upstairs we could hear it very clearly in the bedroom. So not only the water pump, but also plumbing in the walls are really loud. It’s unfortunate because it’s probably very expensive to fix.
The unit is on the first floor and people love to walk by the unit. It’s not just random surfer kids, lots of people will walk by. So if you want a private patio, this is not your place. Everyone was friendly, so this could be a pro if you like the interactions, but it just wasn’t what we were expecting from the “private patio”.
Pros:
The location is amazing. The morning sunrise views were stunning. You are very close to the water. We attended a wedding at the Beach House right next door so it doesn’t get much more convenient than that.
1 free parking space and always plenty of parking.
It was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen and beach gear.
For us, the cons outweigh the pros so we won’t book it again the next time we visit. If you’re a heavy sleeper that likes a hard bed and doesn’t mind people walking by all day, then it’d be a great place. Maybe you get lucky and no one else is upstairs and you won’t need the AC at night, but that wasn’t the case for us.
