To be honest, this apartment exceeded my expectations for the money. Either I hadn't looked at all of the pictures or more were uploaded after I had booked but basically the apartment was larger than expected and was everything that I needed for a beach trip with 3 kids. Very short walk to the beach.
The only thing about the location that I'd say is if you are booking a place with the intention to walk the boardwalk, it's quite a few blocks before you will start seeing restaurants and shops. Manageable, but you are not in the heart of the boardwalk.
There are 3 futons and 1 large bed. The bed and futons are very firm and normally that would matter to me but truly, I was so exhausted at the end of each night that after 2 minutes, I didn't notice.
There are curtains in the actual bedroom if you want to separate your sleeping area between the futon and the bed, as well as from the bathroom. Pretty cool actually.
There are beach towels, boogie boards, inner tube and beach chairs. There's also a washer and dryer that doesn't require money...just provide your own detergent. You will probably have to do a load if you are there with several people more than 2 days as there seemed to be only 5 or 6 bath rags.
The decor in the living room is especially. cute. 🥰
Palmetto bugs...aka...roaches in the north.
I've gathered that this is not exactly an abnormal thing to this area so it didn't affect my rating. The apartment seemed clean enough so it seemed more of an access issue than a dirty issue. This apartment is on the ground floor and these creatures have complete access to the apartment. They may still come in from anyone that stays there before you.
They are plentiful. I guarded the door like a maniac to make sure it stayed shut. I also made sure no food was allowed just anywhere and I swept and wiped counters within 30 minutes after everyone ate. Nevertheless, I killed about 15 of them during my 3 nights there. Since we are from the north and these kind of bugs are seen as HIGHLY repulsive, my children did not sleep well the first night and flat out just wanted to leave. There was quite some stress with that for a bit...I personally was fine because I understood, but just keep this in mind if you are bringing kids or if you yourself have an issue with crawling creatures. Several found their way to the kitchen table, on the counter by the sink and one was crawling up a curtain.
Otherwise....👌 Very happy to pay this rate with such close access to the beach and with the amenities provided.
