I'm really glad I stayed here! The location was perfect for me: just the right distance to walk back-and-forth to the beach (1 block), the boardwalk, shops and restaurants, and nightlife.
The condo itself was great: functional and comfy (the pictures really don't do it justice) with a rooftop terrace, perfect for watching the sun set. One caveat: the bathroom has mold. This is really common in a humid environment, but worth noting in case one has asthma as I do. The occasional hit on the inhaler and I was okay (and I'm pretty sensitive).
The bedroom has a large dresser and even larger closet, complete with extra linens and beach towels! There was even an iron! (Two actually, but who's counting?) There is an AC in the bedroom, but having the windows and patio door open created enough of a breeze that I was never too warm. The kitchen was stocked with any- and everything one might need to prepare a meal. There is a patio with chairs (I never closed the patio door once the entire time I was there), but I spent most of my time at the condo either reading/napping on the couch or reading/napping on the rooftop terrace.
Reggie, the owner, was really responsive and easy to work with. He took time away from being at a trade show in the states to respond to my messages!
Getting into the unit for the first time is a bit of an adventure. The building is built on the side of a hill, so I had to enter from the top level and work my way down to the lowest level to get to the unit. NOTE: DON'T BRING YOUR BAGS WITH YOU ON THE WAY DOWN! It's a lot of stairs! Once you've accessed the unit and have the keys, you can enter from the bottom level through the secure gate and only go up one set of stairs—it's much easier that way. Reggie provides instructions on how to access the unit, which was very helpful.
I really can't say enough positive about this place. It was the perfect respite for me during my vacation. I stayed for five days and wish I could've stayed longer. Even though I was out and about a great deal, I did spend at least a couple of hours each day in the unit, just lounging. I'm already planning my trip down for next year, and plan to stay here again! Thanks, Reggie!
