This listing is a tough one to review. The condo, like most around here, are old and I feel like this is one of those places where the owner does the bare minimum to keep it updated (slaps paint on everything to conceal damages, grime, etc). The place is also VERY worn in and needs a very deep cleaning. I never walked barefoot inside. However, the VIEWS are BREATHTAKING and simply serene. I just don’t know if the slightly lower price compared to the resort next door was worth it.
PROS:
- location (close to touristy shopping and dining but at the end of that street so it’s quiet)
- views are amazing… I can’t emphasize that more!
- very quiet at night and most of the day
- decent bed and pillows
- top floor
- has elevator so accessibility friendly
- assigned parking spot
- this unit does not face the ocean directly so there is no ocean breeze to cool it down, the AC system worked while I was there but for some it could not keep the living room cool. Luckily, the bedroom was pretty cool from AC and they also provide a portable AC unit in there. I was happy w the set up and turned off all AC at night so I can hear the ocean waves. I slept soundly and woke up naturally when it started to get warm in the morning.
CONS:
- needs a deep cleaning and updating of appliances
- kitchen gadgets, pots and pans were bare minimum and worn in. I did not want to cook on a cut up non stick pan. There was also no wine opener and when I asked if they had one there was no effort made to provide one.
- you have to throw away your trash in the trash room. I don’t mind making sure I leave the place without trash everywhere and tying up the trash bag, but dragging trash bags and stuff to a special trash room felt like a service that should be included in the cleaning fee
- the wifi was very unreliable so I gave up using it. If you’re working remotely, plan on using hotspot
