Way more than I expected. 10/10, do recommend… we will be back.
We were just looking for a place to lay our heads semi-last minute and instead this was like… a mini sandals. The condo was clean, nothing fancy but everything we needed and the building itself was shockingly convenient. The condo had plenty of extra pillows and (super-soft couch) blankets as well, which my kids were thrilled about.
There was an on site cafe/pizza shop, a couple of pools (indoor one says heated but it wasn’t when we were there, not complaining just transparent), even a cute baby pool. Very easy beach access (ON the beach with an easy-pull path for wagons and things), water view from ours and it appeared from MOST units, a pretty cheap little arcade, billiards room, movie theater, paddle ball courts… also LOVED the utility room separate from the condo that housed the washer, perfect place for our wheelezz cart and water/beach boards.
Someone else on a previous review mentioned the wait times for elevators during peak times, which was def true but not intolerable… just prep a little early on checkout day bc that could prob bite you.
In our place there were only VERY minor inconveniences. The shower head in the guest bath didn’t work, maybe operator error, but I tried several things and couldn’t make it happen. The tub did tho and the master shower was fine so that was just fine for us. One of the lamps in the guest room didn’t work, and there’s no overhead lighting, but another lamp across the room did so again, whatever. One of the TVs wouldn’t connect to anything. Unfortunately the tv was in the area I put my teenager, but tbh he didn’t complain so it really didn’t matter. I do wish I’d brought MORE beach towels (the rental towels were not fantastic, think… extra large bar rag🤣… but they use a service and the towels provided dry your body so again, can’t really complain) and a HAIRDRYER! 🤣🤦🏻♀️ I’ve been so used to not needing to bring a hairdryer anywhere that I didn’t, and I def could have used one. The only other thing I’d say is maybe throw a few tide pods in the kitchen somewhere bc I def had to go buy a whole thing of laundry detergent which is just a pain to haul back… but again, I didn’t EXPECT it to be there so I’m not mad at it.
Altogether, this place more than exceeded our expectations. It was very comfortable, clean, had several unexpected amenities, and was as close as one can get to being in the middle of things that are as spread out as they are in oc. We are saving this property and will definitely return!
Thanks so much for hosting us!
