Pros:
- Location - close to the beach!
- the pool and the tennis court!
- Host was nice
- nice view of the water and boats going by (although not the ocean)
- washer and dryer
- Clean and comfortable beds, pillows
Cons:
- check in at 4pm even though advertising at 3pm
- the building looks nice but is not well maintained - both inside and outside. Stained sofa, all outdoor cushions for example and some things falling apart such as door handle, light fixture, chair.
- be prepared to wait 10+ minutes to get on the elevator. I suggest you take the stairs or use the side elevator that only goes to 6th floor (since the apt is on 3rd). I’d hate to be any higher, elevators are horrible!
- there were typically no towels at the pool! Consider bringing your own. They bring some out but literally 10 towels at a time for a huge pool and jacuzzi area, they disappear in a minute
- not enough towels in the apartment. We only got a set of 4 even though it was 6 of us. Clearly the building has an issue managing the towels - and we were there Sun-Fri. I imagine weekends are worse
- not great showers (there is no tub FYI) - one of them has a tiny rain shower attached to the ceiling and that’s it. The other thankfully had a hand held in addition, but water pressure was fairly weak. Not the worst I’ve seen, but not great.
- there is nothing in the apartment such as salt, pepper, coffee, coffee filters, hand soap in the kitchen, etc. If you plan to have any or even a minor meal there, be prepared to shop at Walmart which is about 8 minute walk over the bridge. Horrible quality paper towels. Buy a descent one if you are shopping.
- no dust pan or vacuum cleaner. If sand or something else accidentally gets on the floor, you have to improvise to get rid of it
- rude reception (some of them not all)
- this apartment is not great for kids due to our tub and no pack n play option
