Pros: The location is terrific for beach access and proximity to Carousel Grocery, and easy access to everything PCB has to offer. Lots of hot water in the large shower. The bed is very comfortable, with nice linens. The unit was clean. The AC works great & there's a ceiling fan. The refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster were all newer and worked well. It's on the ground floor, which we prefer. Neighborhood is family-friendly and safe -- several condos have full-time residents. As it was the off-season, the whole complex was very quiet at night. A short hose is provided at the entry door for washing sand off our feet. Boogie boards provided. A minimalist acommodation.
Cons: The whole condo complex is undergoing renovation with all it's noise/debris, etc. The outdoor seating was always wet and located between 2 loud heat pumps for other units - we didn't use it. For our 25-day stay, the kitchen was difficult for cooking: oven didn't work and the oven door hit the window sill before it could open very far; tiny counter space on either side of the sink. We bought mixing bowls & a blender, as those were not present, but it was otherwise adequately equipped. For a short stay & for those eating out often, it would be okay. Without the use of the outdoor table, there is no place to sit and eat inside. The closet is small and there are no working drawers for clothing, so we bought a 3-drawer plastic unit at Goodwill, which served our needs, and also moved pots and pans in the pantry to put clothing on one of those shelves. The only counter space in the bathroom is a few inches around the sink - it would be best to have toiletries in bags that hang, so they can go on the hooks on the back of the bathroom door. It was unseasonably cold in November, and there is no heat in the unit - we borrowed a space heater from our family. We also borrowed a power strip, as 2 of the 4 outlets are behind the couch and bed frame. As there is no washer/dryer, we washed the provided towels elsewhere. We borrowed a vacuum, as there was no vacuum or broom to clean up the sand in the hallway, and we didn't want to bring it into the unit. The chairs and other metal beach items need to be replaced - most are rusty and/or broken.
With a bit of attention to detail, this could be a wonderful couple's getaway.
