We rented two properties for Thanksgiving since our whole family wouldn’t fit in one. We had three young couples stay here. It had a beautiful view from the 4th floor (living room/kitchen area). The property was a quick walk to the beach which was very nice and convenient, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable beach getaway.
There were a few things we didn’t love about the property. Firstly there are a LOT of stairs, and a very small residential elevator, so I wouldn’t suggest renting this property if you have an elderly crowd or very young children in your group.
Secondly, the condo seemed like it was starting to fall apart. There were many light bulbs out, several lamps didn’t work, and multiple outlets didn’t work. This made me concerned there could be electrical issues in the condo- so I wasn’t inclined to use the elevator.
Several of the blinds also did not work, were rusted/missing wands and pull strings, broken toilet paper holders, shelves in the refrigerator hanging on by duct tape, multiple door locks were not functioning, and part of our shower’s outside plastic was even falling off.
The home also didn’t feel deeply cleaned. There were layers of caked on dust and dirt on some of the furniture such as the master headboard, visible mold in the bathroom on the main level, and multiple large carpet stains.
For the price we paid (especially the cleaning fee), I would’ve expected it to be cleaner than it was. We also arrived to a dishwasher full of clean dishes to put away, which wasn’t the first thing we wanted to deal with when arriving for a vacation.
Overall, I would stay here again if we needed the space and the price was lower than what we paid. The owners were very responsive and the instructions were very clear for check-in and check-out which was appreciated. For what we needed, it worked well.
