I booked this apartment at the very last minute - in the morning for check-in that same afternoon, on a Sunday! There was a delay for accessing the keys to the apartment because I didn't receive the Welcome Message detailing how to do that - make sure you have that message so that you can get into the apartment.

I had to message the host a lot, but he was very responsive, and always answered my questions in a timely manner.

The apartment itself was great, although the sheets on the bed could use replacing. There were plenty of towels for the beach and in the bathrooms, which was great! Also, there were beach chairs and a beach umbrella, which was awesome!

I didn't read the listing carefully enough, and while there is a washer and dryer available, it's not in the apartment, it's near the elevators, which you have to pay for. I always like having access to a washer and dryer, so that was a key amenity I was looking for.

The apartment looks exactly like in the pictures, except that there's now construction. We were a group of 3 adults and 5 children 3-years-old and under, so we avoided the pool because of the construction. The beach is close by and amazing, definitely use the chairs and umbrella and make it an all day trip.

We did do some cooking as well, and the kitchen is well-stocked with pots and pans.
