This property is certainly nice just missing many things to make it fabulous. After a long day of travel we were looking forward to just getting in and relaxing, but on the checkin information welcome e-mail, there was no mention of the need to have an access code for the parking as well as the building. We had to wait on the phone for ten minutes to get the code instead. Then there are two doors to get in but you have to go to the backside for the access box, which we didn’t see in the dark for awhile just increasing our frustration. THEN when you get to the door you have to enter a way too long code, 10 digits! You have to do this every time to unlock the door. I ended up getting an e-mail on the third day we were there with the access code…way too late!
The actual apartment is very nice with comfortable couch and beds. The dining table has legs that, watch out you will hit your knees on, because the spacing for the chairs is too small. The outdoor patio overlooking the pool is very nice, but make sure you wear slippers or some kind of shoe because the floors are filthy. My toddler went out and walked the entire area and his feet were black. This proved to be a problem as we were constantly having to wash his feet hands etc from the soot.
The pool was heated decently for the first couple days then was freezing to the point we wouldn’t even get in. The pool is pretty with the infinity edge, but gets no sun with all the trees around it. Around 1:00 pm you can get a little bit then around 4ish the sun is lower so you get sun on the patio and edge of the pool as well. There are also only 8 chairs which is less than the amount of units in the building.
For being a property with a pool and walkable to the beach they did not have an efficient or even expected amount of pool/beach towels. There were three small pool towels that seemed to be left behind because they were not all the same. Matching is absolutely not necessary , but it seems like they didn’t think towels were a necessity. They also only left two trash bags, two detergents, and no additional paper towels. When renting a property stocking these items should be required (and has been for all my other rentals). They also didn’t have any beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Again not a requirement, but would have been a nice addition. We had to buy everything including towels.
The lighting in the house is confusing. Sounds odd I know, but I couldn’t get the light in the master to turn on with the remote; and there were three switches for the bedrooms and living room with an additional remote. The light in the shower of the master never worked either. This made the bathroom darker than preferred. When getting ready also I noticed that there is not a single full size mirror in the apartment.
The location is incredible and so easy to get to the beach, however with the busy road and main vein to get to the beach it is very loud. To be expected, plan to sit in traffic to get anywhere in town, as the main road has the drawbridge.
Cute little beach area with excellent restaurants that are all walkable!
