Stayed here for one week towards end of July with a group of 4 adults. We had a great time and enjoyed the spaciousness and beach views as well as the beach itself. However, there were definitely some issues that detracted from the stay. My first impression was that the exterior condition of the building was overall “okay”, but definitely in need of some renovating. The building had areas of peeling paint, and the exterior layout and landscaping arround the small pool area and path to the beach was functional, but not very attractive. I like a more natural landscape, but this just lacked for anything “pretty” compared to other condos we have rented.
The condo itself had a great layout and beautiful views to the beach. While inside it was generally clean, (living room couch had some serious stains though), the exterior was not. The screened porch/lanai needed a serious cleaning and some black mold removal around the sliding doors and corners, as well as replacement of the broken door handle on the screen door. I love sitting on the lanai and enjoying the view while at the beach, and this was a major disappointment. In addition, there were napkins and potato chips just left on the ground from previous renters. I should have called and had it cleaned, but seriously, who wants to deal with this on their first day of vacation? I got the broom and swept it myself. The rooftop area was the exact same—completely uninviting, and a major disappointment. I did get an email mid-week from the rental company asking if there were any issues, and I could have let them know, but I was on vacation and did not feel like having it disturbed with a cleaning company and felt like this was not a simple issue of a quick clean.
Location was good, we rented bikes for the week and could go anywhere. We used the grill and stored the bikes in the garage (mildew smell not withstanding) which was handy.
Overall I would say the condo just need some real TLC. We have rented beach houses and condos up and down the East Coast, so I say this comparing it to other places we have stayed for a comparable price, understanding it is a rental that takes heavy use. I probably would try another place before staying here again, but it definitely has a BEAUTIFUL view and is quite spacious, features which we did enjoy. The rental process couldn’t have been easier, so I would applaud that as well.
