So I was traveling with a 3 year old and 10 month old so we spent more time in the condo than one would like during vacation.
The Condo:
Views are AMAZING. Absolutely epic. The balcony was perfect for all meals.
Kitchen is bare bones for cooking, but functional. Toaster was broken but other appliances were new and clean. The beds were the most comfortable beds ive ever slept in on an air bnb and you can see the ocean from bed.
Hotel building:
Very nice. Restaurant and pool bar were pricey ($60 for 2 cocktails and an order of fries DURINF HAPPY HOUR). A little bit of a Vegas vibe going on up there at the pool, but lots of kids. The elevators were only an issue for us on Sunday/Monday (a holiday) at like 11 am.
Beach:
Stunning beach. Umbrella and chairs are 1 or 2 buildings down. We were on the beach by 8:30 every morning so no issues getting a spot. Fills up by 10:30-11.
Bars/restaurants:
1.5 miles down the beach is the start of the boardwalk. There are no coffee shops or restaurants really any closer (although Cafe Cita in the other direction had very good coffee). There is the “sun shuttle” where you can request rides for like $3. But don’t depend on that during dinner hours- hit or miss. There is also a bus stop right outside the hotel that will take you down to the boardwalk. Very easy.
Jeff:
Wonderful host. We needed a pack and play and he ordered one for our trip specifically- so now there is a pack and play available! Woohoo! Great at communicating and dinner recommendations.
