Ill start by saying that we loved this place! Now for the pros and the cons.
Pros: The unit is a nice 2 bedroom condo with a great view of the ocean and the pool in a great location. The condo is clean and the check in instructions that were sent to me were very helpful and made check in a breeze. The place was stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash which was a pleasant surprise. As a guest you will have access to the building next door which means you have access to 2 pools and 2 gyms. The gym in this building is the typical hotel type gym but the one in the other building has a bit more equipment . The pools are identical. The beach was gorgeous and well maintained. The unit was also stocked with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, a small cooler and even beach toys for our 1 year old to play with. The building is very secure as you need a key fob to open doors. The host is very quick at replying not only in advance of your stay but also during your stay. They have placed a ton of brochures in the unit for family friendly excursions in the area. This is how we found out about Monkey Jungle in Miami, our family had a great time there!
Cons: There were a few things that could have been done a little different. The unit does have WIFI, however, its pretty hit or miss. We had to unplug the modem on a daily basis and plug it back in for the WIFI to operate, not a big deal but was a bit annoying. The unit does have a nice flat screen TV in the living room, but its a dated LG and is not a smart TV so there is no built in chromecast. Personally, I think the TV should be updated especially for those traveling with kids or put this information in the description and I would have brought my chromecast to plug into the TV. There is Netflix available to use, however, since the TV is not a smart TV you have to go thru an annoying process to get it to work (lets remember the WIFI is not the best). The unit uses an outdated TIVO box to get cable (again, since the WIFI is not reliable, we had to play around with this daily to get it to work). The unit does not have movie channels only basic cable- not a big deal but the movie channels show up on the guide so it was a let down the find that these were not available. The unit does not use a hotel type key, rather there is a 8 digit passcode you must use to enter the unit, this was a little annoying at times because you have to pull the door close then enter the passcode. For the most part it worked fine but there were some instances when it was a minor issue. The building has a weird rule that guests entering with luggage, beach chairs, strollers or groceries are not allowed to enter thru the main lobby and must use the service entrance and service elevator. For the most part this was not an issue but keep in mind there is only 1 service elevator. Finally the last con would be the way the reception office works. Upon arrival guests must pay a $20 deposit for the parking RIFD pass, which is returned upon returning the pass. However, the office does not open until 9 am, and we left for our flight at 6 am so I lost my deposit. Again, $20 is not a big deal, its the principle that the front desk or the valet cannot help with this and they are their 24 ours. This bothered me a little.
I know there seems like a lot of "cons" but what I listed was all very minimal, I am only including them to give future renters a heads up. Overall this place was perfect for my wife and our 1 year old. We will definitely stay here again.
