As with all things in life, there are pros and cons here. The location is great, the beach is steps away, and the sand is awesome. The condo has a lot of things in it - if you intend to cook your own meals, you'll find pretty much every single condiment or cooking utensil you could possibly need. But there are some things to be aware of:
1. There is no coffee. There is a coffee grinder and a coffee machine, but no beans. Bring your own. The nearest coffee shop is a 15min drive away.
2. The bed is bouncy. If you are a light sleeper and your partner moves at all during the night, you will struggle. Sleep on the pullout couch instead. WAY better (and bigger) than the actual bed. Try it.
3. There are instructions plastered EVERYWHERE. All over walls, tables, kitchen, appliances, remote controls, even candles and the shower squeegee has instructions on it. Either the host thinks their guests have never lived in a house before, or she's had a really bad experience. Either way, it's too much.
4. For the abundance of instructions throughout the house, there is NONE about how if you set the thermostat to 70 degrees, the house will heat up to 85! Same in the bedroom. So be sure to set the temp to 10-15 degrees lower than what you actually want, or you'll be cooked overnight.
5. If the host texts you, be sure to reply to her right away. Otherwise you'll get a few more texts asking if you got the earlier ones.
All that said, it wasn't a bad time (especially after we discovered the pullout couch as an option), and Jane did allow us into the condo a half-hour earlier which we definitely appreciated. Otherwise, like I said, the location is awesome. If the price was half what it was, I'd probably give it 4 stars, but for what we paid, we expected better.
