Very good

Everything was wonderful and a nice place for single person or couple. However, the bedroom is right by the busy street. Very noisy and could not sleep as i am a light sleeper. Also, the car headlights flashed onto the head of the bed into my face all night.The bar across the street was also very noisy. Other than sleeping it was a nice place. I would not rent again though.sleeper
The apartment itself was fine and good place to sleep, checking and communication was a different story. I had not been given directions to check in, after 2 phone calls and still sitting outside I was sent a rude toned message telling me the door code and that if I would’ve just looked at my email I would’ve seen it. 1. the code i was given was wrong. 2. i was never sent check in directions. after our first few nights we needed the wifi, there was so booklet or anything to let us know so after a few more phone calls… that’s when i finally received the check in email.
Loved the location. If you have issues with sleeping unit 1 is not for you, it is close to road and very bright lights outside windows, blinds are not black out. It is not right on the beach but it is a very short walk. Highly recommend the pizza across the street l, one bite everyone knows the rules.
We really enjoyed our stay here! It was perfect for us and our family of 4. We were in unit#1. There are now blinds over the bedroom windows, theres still a slight glow from the outside sign but it wasn't enough to be distracting. The road noise wasn't as bad as I expected, generally we went to bed around 2300 and had no issues as traffic seemed mostly died down by then and the noise didn't wake us in the morning either. The bed is no joke FIRM. If you need a soft bed you need to bring a mattress topper. The pullout sleeper sofa is comfy though! Larger people may have to sit sideways on the toilet as it is close to the wall, my significant other had to as he was cramped trying to sit normally. The shower is great! Water pressure was great and always had plenty of hot water. The host was amazing at helping us with any needs or questions, they were super friendly and helpful. Also very patient! We loved the "little" extras that made our stay that much more pleasant such as the grill, beach chairs and access to a washer and dryer.
Upon arrival at Unit #1 which is the closest unit to the road, everything looked pretty good, however we did have some issues with the unit. Such as, there were no drapes in the bedroom as pictured in the photos. This led to the bright light that was illuminating from the property sign, which did not turn off until after midnight. Being that this unit is very close to the road, you could hear the cars driving by all night as if the windows were open. The bathroom sink would not drain properly and would back up. The bed was extremely firm and uncomfortable but that might not be an issue for some.
Had we contacted management right away, some of these issues may have been able to be resolved. After returning home from our vacation, I spoke with management, they were very understanding, professional and wanted to make it right.
