Richard was a thoughtful host. We forgot our check in packet (completely our fault!) and had a difficult time getting access to the condo. Plan ahead and make sure you have that welcome packet!
Upon booking your stay, Richard will send you a Welcome Packet. Take the time to read through it before your arrival. It's incredibly thorough and will answer any questions you might have.
The condo itself is a nice unit. The kitchen is, indeed, fully equipped! Our family made a trip to Costco, loaded up on groceries, and cooked all our meals (quite comfortably) in the unit. The balcony patio area is fantastic! We ate our meals outside and fell asleep to the sound of waves each night. The unit also has a washer and dryer, which were great amenities to have.
For those traveling with kids (we were traveling with our two year old), this is a great choice. The unit has a puzzle, some books, and a few dvds that are toddler appropriate. They also provide sand toys, which was a hit with our son!
The beach is fairly quiet and the waves gentle. There are, however, a lot of pieces of broken coral, which can make it a little tough to step into the ocean, especially for little tots with sensitive feet. That didn't stop us, though, or our little guy. The unit comes with snorkeling gear (wide range of sizes/fits) and there's a decent amount of coral to look at in the beach area just outside the condo.
The condo is located in an older building that, while quaint and charming in its own way, is showing signs of age and wear. While there we had some wind and the unit kept losing power on and off for a few hours. While a bit of a nusance, the condo offers so many amenities, at such a reasonable price, and with such amazing beach access, that it's totally a worthwhile stay.
Richard is s great host, very friendly, and approachable. Would recommend this place to anyone.
