Pictures must have been taken right after the paint job and décor were fresh. It could definitely use some TLC. Room darkening blinds in master were wonderful. I wish the 2 back bedrooms, where our 5 kids were, also had room darkening blinds so they would have slept longer. One back bedroom was fairly bright all night long because of the commercial shopping area in the distance. We draped a large beach towel over the curtain rod and it helped some.
We went during the off season so it was wonderful to not have a long elevator wait, crowded pool or overly crowded beach. This unit is also on the 8th floor, so it was nice not to be able to hear pool noise, and still have a beautiful view of the beach and the water. (The upper floors are also a nice view, but when you sit on the deck you only see the water, not the beach, so depends what you like.)
The washer and dryer were high end and were so wonderful to have. Electric stove was just ok, but everything else in the kitchen was very nice. We spent a lot of time on the very large balcony which easily accommodated our family of 7. Balcony could benefit from a pressure washing. The sliding door off the living room was also very hard to slide open. The tracks probably just need to be cleaned and then oiled again. The sliding door off of the master bedroom worked great. There were also sand toys to bring down to the beach. We loved having 2 lounge chairs with umbrella down on the beach.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience with check in and check out. The beach is somewhat "festive." So it's great if you don't mind groups of people bringing their own music, sometimes smoking, and putting their chairs in-front of the lounge chairs and umbrellas that you rented. (All 3 of these things are "prohibited" but they are not enforced.) This is not the beach if you want total solitude, but it's a great location if you want to be close to shopping, restaurants, grocery stores and Starbucks.
