Everything was great however I think the owners should either provide a link or a phone # of the beach chair rental company so people can book in advance.

The room was clean. We had a beautiful view with a downstairs condo so we could separate outside onto the beach. The only complications we ran into were there was not a plunger in the bathroom. There was no pizza pan. We had a few things break that we needed to call maintenance for but other than that everything was perfect.

I don’t like the apartment at all. Everything is old and not clean, including the carpet and the furniture. Also, the only closet in the apartment is filled with the owner’s belongings, so I haven’t had anywhere to put my clothes. I’ve had to keep all of my belongings in my suitcase on the floor for my entire stay. In addition, the stove was not working properly—only one of the four burners worked, which made it very difficult to cook.

Master bath was small and not updated. Shower head was pretty bad. Otherwise a great condo right on the beach. Need to put instructions for trash being we were on first floor there were no trash chutes and no dumpster access.

Where to start…the only upside was the bar and cafe were close by the beach. Condo unit was badly outdated with bulky furniture that made it difficult to move around. Master bath shower head sprays water on the ceiling and straight out the door if it’s not pointed correctly. The elevators were broke down majority of the time we were there making it take a very long time to catch one. The private beach area is small and with all the rows of rentals set chairs taking up most of the beach area. You could not set up a private beach setups anywhere near the water and to get a rental chair close we found you need to book a year in advance.
