We have stayed in complex before b/c it’s a little walk to beach, but it’s not much even with toddler in tow. Beach options have changed -resulted in more walking for us. They have a shuttle to take you over if you’re not hauling a beach cart.
Things we really enjoyed about the condo:
-full-size front loading washer and dryer. Huge help!
-decor was pleasant, peaceful, cute
-condo is laid out well, lots of space to move around, good flow
-kitchen well-stocked, No lids for pots, No pot holders
- fun selection of games and beach stuff
-bunkbed sheets are soft, bunkbed ladder made it easier to get up/down. Cute rug! Kids room=big hit
-master bedroom: beautiful morning light, balcony, good space, nice private bath. The dresser is hard to open/shut. Annoying for an adult, too hard for my little one.
-strong Wi-Fi for most of the trip, had to reset a few times.
-the front door code was personalized numbers to our family -super helpful, simply brilliant!
Less than impressive items:
-roaches. We killed at least 30-40 in our 5 days. I notified the manager after trip and she said will speak to their pest control company. I chose not to do it during trip because I didn’t want chemicals sprayed while there. NOT a new problem. Had varying sizes of roaches. It’s an issue that is NOT solved.
-NO deadbolt on front door. Our 2-yo walked right out so we blocked with chair.
-Bathtub had removable stopper that didn’t suction. bath time=challenging. I addressed with manager while on property, No response.
-dining room chairs: 4 match, 2 mis-match. 1 doesn’t fit table, 1 unusable at table.
-ice machine made ice, didn’t dispense. bought bags of ice.
-balcony sliding door handles don’t lock, but has safety bar. No screens
-unit backs up to a different complex -we had issues with late-night loud music party at the neighbors. I addressed with manager while on property, but nothing could be done
Extra things to know:
-air-conditioning managed by guest. Gets VERY cold. reads differently than home. we did 77 during day, 74 at night. At home we do 72/70.
-unit was clean, NOT deep clean. Bathrooms clean. We didn’t clean before settling in, but did wipe off porch chairs, and cleaned due to roaches. Feet/socks really dirty from floors
-issues with pool code, manager responded quickly, tried to help. Also had issue at another unit in complex
Overall, we liked the condo. It has a few items that need immediate attention. If solved, we would consider again
