Let me start first off by saying we truly enjoyed our stay here and the location was 10 out of 10!
What we loved:
1. Location
2. Access to water park and pool
3. Close distance to public beach access
4. Full kitchen, washer/dryer in unit giving us ability to prepare meals and snacks for outings and wash and dry our beach towels
5. Unit had all beach gear needed…beach cart, umbrella (which broke but we replaced), 3 chairs, boogie board, skim board, kid toys and beach games. We loaded that thing up and headed out! It was perfect!
6. Quiet… our deck faced the inter coastal so it was calm and peaceful. Bring up high meant nobody above you to make noise
7. Plenty of space in unit
8. Hardly anyone around…here and there on the elevator, never in the stairwell. Felt like our own space.
9. Nice big fridge
10. Water park passes… great to be able to float in the lazy river or cool off in the pool. Pool area was very clean. I’d see them almost every day out there vacuuming it.
11. 2 big box fans, 1 for each bedroom
12. Plenty of beach/pool towels
What we didn’t love:
1. Unit was not ready till after 4 to check in. Faucet was broke and maintenance was “fixing” it.
2. Unit was still being cleaned after 4. My family is sensitive to harsh cleaning smells and when the door opened the smell hit me like a truck! I asked the cleaning person to stop mopping because the smell was so strong. She did and we aired the place out.
3. Not very clean, which I had seen on other reviews…I was disappointed in the lack of cleanliness. There were crumbs and debris in the drawers, air vents had thick dust on them, the pocket doors (which are white) looked like they never got cleaned since they are slid in, the washer/dryer unit was uneven so the dryer door hit me in the head while trying to load the wet clothes in, and the table under the tv in the master bedroom had pieces of broken furniture inside it. Decor was mediocre.
4. Elevator did go out of service several times. Def could be an inconvenience. We took the stairs as much as possible tho but In order to get the beach buggy downstairs you def would be needing the elevator.
5. Vacuum in unit fell apart as I tried to clean up some sand from the beach. I would have appreciated a working vac bkz the sand did come in. No point in having a broken vacuum.
Over all I really liked our stay. Just wanted to give an honest and complete review.
