The apartment is in a great location, it’s only 7 minutes walk to the beach and stores / restaurants. The view of the mountains and the canal from the lanai is beautiful. The building its self is 40 years old and a little dated.
The apartment is in need of a facelift, the furnishings are dated and mismatched. The pullout couch is broken and extremely uncomfortable to sleep on, sitting on it leaves you with a sore back. We did let Suzie know that it was broken so hopefully it will be replaced before the next guest arrives. The wall paint is light grey and scuffed up in high traffic areas. A tropical paint color (teal or coral) would go a long way to making the apartment feel more like a vacation retreat. The mattress in the bedroom is comfortable and there’s plenty of closet space to hang clothes. A few more hangers would be good.
There was very little space in the kitchen for grocery storage and the handle to the oven keeps falling off, again, we did inform Suzie so it should be fixed before the next guest arrives. During our stay there was major plumbing issues, the bathroom was in the middle of a remodel when we left. The light fixture in the bathroom is from the 70’s and provides very little light, hopefully that gets replaced during the remodel. The apartment is small but comfortable for 2 people, I would not advise having more than 1 guest, it is a bit too tight.
Suzie was very quick to respond to our calls and provided extra beach supplies and a blow up bed for guests when requested. Some of the kids beach supplies were in need of being replaced. We gifted 2 new full face snorkel masks. Enjoy!
