Mixed reviews for this property. Not going to say it is not a good value but I think for vacationers looking to relax and enjoy the Florida weather, you should look elsewhere.
PROS: - The apartment is updated, clean for the most part, and has nice appliances.
- The host is very responsive and any issue we had was resolved within minutes.
- As long as the weather is nice you mainly have the pool to yourself.
- The “superb” apartment had a nice little sitting area outside.
- Parking was easy
CONS: - The freight train passing through the area 6-7 times a night would shake the entire apartment and wake you up constantly. This was a HUGE issue during our stay.
- The freight train passing through woke up the Abandoned Pet Rescue animals which would cause the dogs to bark and howl non stop.
- The walls to the street were EXTREMELY thin. Me and my girlfriend were woken up at 6 am by a man shouting at his dog for peeing on the carpet. It sounded like he was in the room with us that is how clearly he was heard.
- The info says you can park anywhere. However, upon parking our rental car in the lot behind the building we received a sticker from the property manager about a warning. Leaving a mark on our rental car.
- The location is not ideal. If you are looking for bars and restaurants that aren’t a chain, you will need to drive or Uber. The beach and downtown are a significant ride away. Because of this along with the noise, we chose to not spend much time in the apartment.
- There is also two TVs, both don’t have cable and only the one in the living room has roku. The TV in the bedroom is completely useless.
All in all, the cons outweigh the pros. If you are looking for a relaxing peaceful vacation, this is not the place. Emily and Ilan are great hosts but the property is not worth the price for the stay you receive.
