Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location
A lot of rules; Stark decor: uncomfortable furniture
I thought I was renting a condo, but it is actually a hotel.Check-in person told me builder intended to sell as condos but decided to keep building.They market thru VRBO so it's a bit confusing. At check in we were given wristbands w/digital chips that act as a key & allows you to get in through beach gate, main building & unit. Told no housekeeping services, everything already in room. At check in, told no more than 6 people in the 2 bedroom unit at one time. I explained I had my kids & family (11 people total) coming for a day at the beach. I had to register each person & they had to check in upon arrival to get a wristband (with no digital access to anything). No one can be on the property without a wrist band. So a friend coming for an hour had to be checked in, IDed, & wristbanded. They enforce the number of people in the unit so that made it stressful for people coming & going, grabbing a bite to eat, etc. I've never been to a hotel where I felt so regimented. We talked to a few guests in the elevator and we all agreed there were a lot of rules.The unit decor is minimalist.No art, no pillows on the sofa/2 chairs in living room. No one liked sitting them because without pillows they were uncomfortable, even on balcony. It was supposed to be a full kitchen but there were no sharp knives. I told the front desk and the guy said he'd contact housekeeping. A guy showed up with one paring knife. Iffy neighborhood. All the employees were very nice.
