Property Not Up to Standards

This unit was two one bedrooms that were combined to make a two bedroom unit, not an actual two bedroom unit. We stayed in one bedroom and had to walk through the other bedroom to get to the kitchen and living area, awkward. There are minor maintenance issues: broken window blinds, refrigerator shelves and drawers that don't work properly, covers missing from light fixtures. We had to leave the unit on our final day so that the A/C could be repaired - not acceptable. The paper products and toiletries provided were a very cheap quality. Not enough bed covers, blankets. Love the location but the condo needs some work.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

We had to sleep first night with non working AC (80 degrees) and dirty cover mattress. Property manager offered another room for next day and this one was perfect. Great property management. Some apartments in very bad condition so be careful which one you are assigned to. Direct access to the beach.

Can't beat the location!

We enjoyed our one night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Being steps from the beach was the best part. Our kids also enjoyed spending time in the pool.

Odd floor plan

Beautiful view, nice unit but odd floor plan. Patio furniture was very dirty should have been wiped down prior to our arrival. Frying pans need to be thrown out and replaced with new.

Great location; room outdated & needs better maintenance

Bobbi at the front was extremely helpful & accommodating. She did her best to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The room has an odd layout where you enter through a bedroom. That's fine if it's a hotel. I was under the impression this was more like a living style condo. We wanted a 2 bedroom and the entrance from the 2nd bedroom into the living area & kitchen was through our bedroom. The bathroom was really old with worn out caulking & deep black mold areas. The shower doors were the old, sliding ones that can easily come off the track. The bed was comfortable. Newer tv only in the king bedroom with HDMI ability . DVD & CD player was available in living room. A great benefit was access to the fitness center at their sister property 1/2 mile down.
