My family (2 adults, 3 kids under 5) stayed 1/1-8; I do NOT recommend it. Re apt: The floors were dirty upon arrival. The King bed did not have a bottom sheet, just the mattress cover which was stained. No paper towels or garbage bags to use. The bedroom patio door curtain was broken and would not go up/open. Missing tv remotes. There is a crib, but no crib sheets. Closet has 3 toddler-sized hangers. Mentions having "deck chairs & beach towels" in the apt, were unable to locate them. Re resort: The pool was gross - cloudy w/ sand at the bottom & hair floating in it. The tile deck around it was also dirty (hair, food, visible dirt). Beach towels are not "free,” they are included in the $35/day resort fee. The resort is stingy with them too. If you wake up early & get towels for the beach they will not let you exchange them for fresh ones mid-day. If you CALL guest services they will not help you. When you tell them your room they will say you need to contact your host. If you VISIT the front desk they try to help. I learned this is bc phones are answered by a 3rd party that relays requests to them. FYI: the pool allows pets by it & doesn’t always play kid-friendly music. If small, yappy dogs & loud songs w/ words like “f*uck, pu**y” bother you, you may want to avoid this scene (which was at 3PM). You do not get many towels to use in the apt. You get a fresh set day 5, but need to visit the front desk & ask. I ended up buying laundry detergent & using the apt washer & then drying them on the balcony. Re host: The host is unreachable. I *tried* contacting them 2x before arriving, & then at least 2x/day 1/1 – 4. I sent msgs through VRBO, personally called the # provided, and had VRBO’s customer service try contacting them. Reply was received finally on the 4th saying they sent housekeeping. I don’t think they actually contacted the resort, I was able to get the missing sheet + other consumables after visiting the front desk & there's no "housekeeping.” Re area: We loved it and had a great time renting bikes, meeting people, & eating at some delicious restaurants (Ocean Alley, Blue Wave, Sapore Di Mare, Mamacita’s, Giorgio’s). The beach area was popular but not crowded, clean, & an overall awesome place to visit. I do recommend area for some family fun, but would insist on checking out other lodgings.
