Overall, this was a very pleasant rental experience. The hosts were very responsive, but in a canned, cut/paste response style, as opposed to personal communication to you.
The complex: The complex is pretty old, abuts the highway (noise but easy access) and is directly across the street from the beach, with access between two large Marriott hotels. All units front a courtyard pool and this unit is in the back corner and only about 6 steps to the edge of the very heated pool and there were 6 chaise lounges for 20+ units. It will be hit or miss with the crowd and volume in this environment, but if you want to guarantee peace and quiet, this is probably not the place, just based on the layout. We visited at the same time as a younger family with a two screaming kids at the pool, so it was a miss for us. Also, you have to enter a 4-digit gate code to come in or leave, which is tedious.
The condo: The condo is like the nicest house in an average neighborhood. It’s fully renovated and furnished with large TVs, a very modern monochromatic color palette and generic wall art that made it feel like staying in an Ikea showroom display. We did appreciate the starter set of amenities and beach chairs and towels. The layout was odd – a very large kitchen (with many empty cabinets), a small living room, a very large bathroom with an enclosed tub (double shower head) and a full shower (single shower head). Would have worked better with an enclosed water closet. The bedrooms had furniture too large for the rooms and the second bedroom didn’t have a closet and only a small window. The light fixtures were very bright and lacked dimmers, needed hooks for towels, sheets were polyester and hot.
All in, it was an enjoyable stay, but for us, the price point was a bit high for what you get.
