Cute place and close to the airport. We really enjoyed this unit and the view was fantastic off the porch.
Pros -
Easy access to the airport (approx 15 mins), major stores (like Costco) and a beach within walking distance (5 min walk).
The property is very quiet and peaceful, especially on weekends. Someone was doing construction on a Saturday and the property manager immediately showed up to stop them. Even during the week though, we found it to be very peaceful.
Cons -
The AC is setup in such a way that the unit never really gets cool. (The structure was built to encourage airflow from the front door to the back balcony. During the day, the breeze through the unit is super nice even if the temp is in the 80’s. However at night, we locked the front door which effectively stops the airflow and you need the AC. The owner has actually invested in some good units but one is blocked by a shelf that stops airflow and another in the bedroom is setup to blow against a wall so you don’t feel the cold air.
The door lock quit working during our stay and we were disappointed that the owner took 20 mins to respond and his fix was to hit the lock and see if it would rattle the batteries. We ended up spending another 30 mins playing with the lock to finally get it working. (27 and 34 year olds both in technology with a FULLY smart house, this wasn’t user error).
We were told we could have a late checkout at noon (standard checkout is 11am). Based on the rest of my stay, I decided to go ahead and pack up and have all the bags in the car just in case and was glad I did. The cleaning staff shows up at 11:23am. The late checkout wasn’t required and we did appreciate the extra 23 mins but ultimately it was frustrating that even the one hour late checkout wasn’t honored.
