As this was our 1st Air BnB rental, we weren't sure what to expect. Based on the pictures in the listing, we felt like this would be a quaint apartment in a building near the beach.
PROS: A few blocks from the beach
A block from a grocery store and a drug store
Walking distance to the little downtown area that has shopping and some great
restaurants.
Ample room for 5 people on a beach vacation to stay in.
Kitchenette in unit.
Overall, friendly staff.
Unit was clean.
CONS: The pictures posted did NOT represent our apartment. It's an old motel that was renovated into apartments sometime in the last 30 years (guessing on the timeline) which seems to be common for the area. The bathroom was renovated sometime in the last 10 years (I'm guessing) and was overall nice, however, it was starting to age as well. The common area was nice, but the pool didn't look as if it had been recently cleaned. Wasn't fond of the fact that the deadbolt couldn't be used from the outside the door as the entry door can be accessed easily by anyone, since it is outside. Upon check-in, I made arrangements with the woman at the desk for a relative that was to be arriving the following day. Upon their arrival, a gentleman working the front desk essentially called my wife a liar and raised his voice with her when she explained about the arrangements that had been made the previous day, stating that his colleague would never make any such arrangements, rather than check with his colleague first. Though the manager made things right a few days later and apologized for the incident, that's not something you want to deal with or take away with you on your vacation.
Overall, not a terrible stay, but personally, I would probably check out some of the similar type places in the area first before booking here again.
