Overall, decent spot (3.5-4 rating). It does the job for a quick visit, just not what I'm used to for beach side vacay.
Upsides:
-Easy access to beach, spacious "enough" for 3-4 adults/1 child.
-Easy check in process / location to find.
-Clean and building wasn't overrun with folks using the elevator etc.
-Bedding/bathrooms seemed to be in order.
-Definitely a cozy / small home feel.
Growth Edges/Opportunities:
-While the "proactive" communication with the property was decent via text, it was off-putting. The day before arrival, was told that the property might not be ready by 4pm due to housekeeping needs (it ended up being ready by 345pm, which was great--however walked in and saw candy in the "bar" chairs that wasn't ours). Then the day before we were to check out, I was asked when we were leaving so that housekeeping could get in (which felt like we were being rushed out). On either side, just didn't leave a good feeling--just have what I'm paying for ready/available (and early check in where possible).
-View of the beach from balcony is narrow (the picture is truly accurate) and unfortunately also close to main road. So, if you're looking to hear waves, the sound will heavily mixed with the honking and other noises of the road.
-The master bath is super small, as is the kitchen. Not ideal for bigger/taller folks.
-The "main" bath is decent, but the tub had some draining issues (was not sand, as this was an issue before even getting into shower).
-Balcony door gave a bit of problem, but just had to figure out. Main door also didn't always lock, which was odd. Screen door lock wasn't super secure either.
-Batteries of the double bed room for dvd/tv need replacing (One remote batteries were corroded, the other just didn't work).
-No laundry within the unit (I didn't know there would be housing units on the beach sans in-unit laundry. I'm sure coin-laundry is probably listed on description, just didn't think of it since all other locations had in-house laundry).
Again, all in all it did the job, as most of our time was at the beach anyways! I would visit / stay again in a pinch!
