Not What Expected

First off you had to park in the street or find paid parking which was no where near the property. The actual loft was nice but it was on the third floor,which was not mentioned in the listing. We had my 82 year old mother that recently broke her back with us and there was no way she could climb those stairs. There was elevators, but not functional and apparently they haven’t been for a while because there was furniture in front of them. When I reached out to the owner about our concerns and maybe getting a refund they refused and was very short and non responsive. We didn’t stay there. Just walked in and walked out. You would think they would have at least offered to refund the cleaning fee. Very disappointing.

Perfect location for pre-cruise stay! Walk to the port!

My family of 4, plus 2 in-laws stayed at this apartment pre-cruise. Location is excellent! Many restaurants within walking distance. We ate just around the corner at Taquilos (delicious and happy hour all day!) Decor and furnishings were nice and modern. Great communication with the host. Best thing is that we WALKED 0.9 miles to the port. So easy. Only downfall of this place is no elevator so we had to carry all of our luggage up to the 3rd floor, but we are all able to do that, so no biggie. We'd stay here again! Easy check-in with key box. Highly recommend for pre-cruise!modern.

Disliked: Cleanliness

So much potential, but never again

The location and character of the unit were great. Everything else was a miss. Both showers had black mold, washing machine was not functional and had been full of water for clearly quite some time as it smelled absolutely foul. There was no soap (bar or otherwise) in the bathrooms to even wash your hands. The freezer was full of rust so we didn’t even want to use it or the ice. Clearly the management company doesn’t care about guests or cleanliness, which is disappointing because the character and location of this unit have so much potential. Would not recommend a Beach Box property to others given their lack of attention to cleanliness or ensuring basic amenities that were described in the listing.

Great location but needs TLC

The location was great. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Apartment is spacious but in serious need of some TLC. Yes it’s a historic building but it’s not being kept up very well. Elevator broken and if you don’t filter through the listing you do not know as it’s buried in it. This is a 3rd floor apartment so getting all luggage up 3 flights of stairs is rough. Pictures show a washer dryer in kitchen but when opened it had musty smelly water sitting in it. When contacting the management company the response was it’s not an amenity. So why show it in pictures? Place could be a solid 5 with some TLC but it seems like they are not wanting to take care of it. Also has bikes available for use but most were broke. With chains falling off. Overall for the price expected better.

Family getaway.

Neat property. Overall, was pretty impressed. Apt 303 did not have working washer/dryer unit. Which would not have been a big deal but I had started a load which resulted in a load of wet clothes that I am having to wash at home when we get there. It also said it was a non-smoking building and it was very clear someone was smoking in the building when we returned from dinner (which is not something they would know about right away but was strong smell). Overall, we would stay again if given the opportunity, it was the right size for our family.

The communication with the beachbox was great! They emailed right away answering questions I had. The main entrance was a little confusing for us, but we were able to get in without any major issues with the communication from Beachbox. Parking can be challenging but we got lucky with a spot right in front of the building. The steps/stairs squeak a lot. The walls had either water damage or fire damage on one area but wasn't too noticeable. Main bathroom faucet was leaking but it didn't bother us. I just sent an email to let them know. We took a little walk to explore the downtown area with the kids and felt safe. We ate at the Mexican restaurant which was good too. We only stayed one night before our cruise and thought it was doable. You can hear the traffic outside.

Overnight near The Strand

We chose this location due to the availability of 2 bed/ 2 bath and many are not available. It is definitely unique, an older building, that being said be prepared to hear EVERYTHING around you. Walls and windows do not keep any noises out and we were lucky enough to be there the morning of trash day, 6:AM pick up. Both bedrooms had light shining thru windows from either outside or the building hallway so we had to make our own makeshift curtains. Cleanliness was not a top priority here either but all in all we made do with the apartment and started our day earlier than expected due to being woke at the crack of Dawn. We won’t stay here again.

Convenient but loud

Booked this for our family before taking a cruise. Enjoyed the convenience near the strand, spacious and plenty of room for 8. The only negative is, it is very loud on the streets below even though it’s several blocks from the strand. The walls must be paper thin because we could hear everything till 4am. None of the adults got any sleep. Other than that, great place if noise doesn’t bother you.
