Overall, it was a good place to stay.
Pros:
-Proximity to beach. Just two blocks from the shore.
-Plenty of things to do within walking distance.
-The TV is equipped with every streaming service you could ask for.
-There are beach towels in the unit so you don’t have to rent beach equipment.
-The host Shannon was very helpful whenever I reached out to her.
Cons:
-Noise. This was expected as it’s a popular tourist destination.
-Judging from the photos, the building was not as nice as I expected. It’s just not as much of a squeaky clean environment as the nearby hotels.
-AC unit is effective but loud. If you’re coming from a place with central AC, prepare yourself for the prominent hum of the unit in the window.
If all was normal, I would have probably stayed in one of the really modern, cool hotels that are just blocks away from this location. I think the amenities and certain conveniences that hotels offer are worth it. During COVID however, I felt much more secure renting this condo and coming in contact with fewer people.
The price is good for what you’re getting with this rental. It’s a good deal and looks a lot more secure than VIVE Hotel nearby!
