The check-in process was an absolute catastrophe. We were dealing with the host through the app but then was told to deal with someone named Marcela but then started to receive texts & phone calls from a man named George. We were told to park in valet & wait for him, the valet attendant was super rude and told us we couldn't park there but had no choice. George arrived about 20 minutes after he said he would (after driving for 24 hours with 2 toddlers this was not a happy welcome). We had to run all around the resort for check-in. There is a "front desk" for residences & there is a "front desk" for people staying on vacation so you never truly will go to the
front desk/reception" area. When you check in you owe $20 in cash for parking deposit (returned at end of stay), $20 NON REFUNDABLE for the FOB to enter the building & however much for actual parking. Check-in took about an hour after all was said & done. Our FOB didn't work after George was gone so we had to go back the next day to get it fixed. Also, the FOB doesn't work after a certain time at night so you end up having to be buzzed in any way (totally not worth giving them $20 bucks for!). The "resort" is not really a resort but an apartment building so there aren't many amenities. The room is very large but very basic & didn't have normal Airbnb accommodations like dishwasher tabs, garbage bags, coffee grounds or a plug for the main bathroom tub so we had to make a trip to the DollarTree to purchase these. The view is only from the master bedroom (window doesn't open), the balcony has a view of the parking garage & a huge palm tree blocking ocean view. The pool area was most definitely the best part of the stay. Very clean, very nice heated pool & pool deck. Beach was covered in trash (obviously not the host's fault but something to note). Overall my I'd rate my time spent here a 3/5 for accommodations but I no doubt enjoyed spending time with my family... as long as they were happy, I was happy so I decided to not let that initial first day of disappointment ruin our vacation.
Other notes:
Not much for restaurants nearby, have to drive about 2 miles down for the boardwalk
Toddler park about half a mile down that had a great little café, great for a cloudy non beach day
