As others have stated; “location-location-location”!!!! We did not rent a car but parking space is included! ( seems parking is a premium in that area). We walked everywhere (many restaurants /shops/CVS) without issue. Apartment is located in middle of block , one side ocean beach /other side intercoastal w/ Water taxi stop right there!! (30$ per day but hop on/hop off 10 stops along the intercoastal 10a-10p..Excellent option!) . Beach is beautiful -soft sand , clean, huge… life guards on duty!
Uber was very easy :15 min drive from airport ($20).
Decor and layout of apartment was very nice/clean/private/beachy/bright. Up-to-date (Think pottery barn meets ikea! ) . Appreciate that bathroom was left “vintage Florida” with pretty inlaid flamingo tile . Temperature control was perfect w/2 separate air conditioners and 3 ceiling fans!
We always pick a place that has outdoor space and the little balcony off the kitchen was wonderful for 2 people to enjoy coffee in the morning/ cocktails in the evening.
Everything was well-appointed for cooking etc. (just beware: towels are limited so pack one if you have room in your suitcase. We also purchased a beach chair as those are not included but left it behind for the next guest).
Lock code worked perfectly/felt very safe. (If mobility concerns , There are several stairs to access front door )
Lastly, Communication was superior : immediate response from start to finish which made us feel cared for.
We would definitely recommend staying at this lovely apt. A very pleasant get-away. Hope to return someday.
