The condo was pretty much as advertised, except for damage from the hurricane, which wasn’t shown on the site. However, the owner did communicate it to me before my arrival so that there were no surprises, which I appreciated it. He was also very responsive to any questions or concerns I had prior to my arrival.
The condo was very clean. And it had an amazing view! It was also very close to the beach. Just steps away! One aggravating thing to note is that the rental chairs took up the entire front row of beach in front of the property. Which meant if you didn’t pay to rent a chair, you had to go down the beach a ways to find a front spot. All of the other complexes we noticed had their rental chairs pulled back, allowing for personal chairs/items to be in the front row. We heard multiple complaints from people about this through the week. It was aggravating and seemed very unfair.
Parking was fine; however, we got a nasty note on our truck from “maintenance” one day for being over the “yellow safety line.” ?? I drive a Ford F-150. I backed into a spot and, in order not to be sticking out in the middle of the parking lot, backed into the spot like anyone normally would. My tires were not even touching the curb. And nowhere was there a sign saying not to have your vehicle hanging over the “yellow safety line,” which I still think was an odd way to state it. Additionally, there were multiple other cars and trucks who were over this line and none of them had notes on their vehicles that we saw. Weird.
Another thing to make note of is that there are no elevators in the building. I had just gotten off crutches the week prior, due to a sports-related knee injury/surgery, and the 3 flights of stairs up and down to our unit every day was rough, to say the least. Luckily, I am in good shape and was able to compensate with my good leg, but it should be noted somewhere that there are no elevators. This also made it difficult unloading and loading the truck with a week’s worth of vacation gear for four children. I heard others complaining about the lack of an elevator as well.
Overall, we were very happy with this unit and condominium complex and will likely return in the future.
