Spacious place close to the beach
This place was super spacious and met our needs easily. The condo is an older unit but updated nicely. Beach towels were available if you needed them (they just ask that you wash them). The walk from the condo to the beach is doable, but since we had so much stuff to schlepp we parked at the front to have a shorter walk. Neighbors were friendly and helpful.
I will say that you are getting nothing extra - we had two trash bags, one roll
of paper towels, one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, and one wash worth of dishwasher soap. There was an assortment of dishes and pans but no Tupperware or anything and no kitchen staples like oil, salt + pepper, etc. There was one dish tag, a dish towel but no pot holder.
The only thing that I was disappointed in was that the listing didn’t mention the $40 parking fee that was required. After I made my (no -refundable because of time) reservation, I then got an email about how to pay for my parking and wristbands that allowed access to the amenities (pool, club house, etc). Wristbands were $1 per person (no one ever asked the see them and we were asked to leave them behind) and parking was $40. When I inquired with the owner about the parking fee I was told that “Portside doesn’t include parking in the pricing”. Updating the listing to include the parking fee would be helpful as the way it reads makes it seems that parking included.
Overall we had a good experience and would stay again if in the area.
