This listing is for a privately owned room at the Costa hotel/resort. Think “timeshare”.
Pros: excellent proximity to beach, air conditioning/appliances work well, comfortable bed, walking distance to excellent restaurants. Highly recommend Billy’s Stone Crab. The boardwalk is nice to walk off dinner in the evenings. It can be very lively in the evening with a mix of families, couples of all ages, and partygoers. However, it does get very quiet around 10:00 p.m. 2 beach chair rentals included with stay. At time of writing, umbrella rental was additional $20/day.
Cons: although very clean, the unit needs paint. Nothing big, yet initial impression was very slightly off-putting. I’m being very picky with this one. While you technically can see the water in both directions, you do have to lean out over the balcony, yet there is a balcony to enjoy the wonderful South Florida weather. Finally, the inclusion of dish soap would have been nice. Valet Parking is expensive at $35/night but we were willing to pay for the convenience.
Overall I would recommend this unit.
