The location of Mandy's place is the best! The beach is so accessible and all the shops you might need. The free parking was a great bonus! Loved the ample sleeping spaces.
As others have commented - if you are staying for any length of time, be prepared to buy some items like paper towels, toilet paper and you will have to bring your own shampoo/conditioner. The kitchen has the barest necessities (only salt/pepper/oil and no condiments) so be prepared for that if you are going to cook at all. I think this is more due to COVID than anything. I'm more used to places with a huge amount of kitchen items left over from previous guests, that we are more than happy to use up, and then leave ours for the next. Times have changed a bit in that respect.
Having the laundry just down the hall was great! You can download an app to pay for the machines so you don't have to deal with quarters.
The coffee shop by the lobby is the best! Homemade soups and deserts were my favorite. Plus the Dole Whip!
All in all, it was a great time!
