Pros:
1. The owners obviously take pride in the place. It’s well kept. Lots of recent renovations (appliances, mattresses, paint, bathrooms). The kitchen is the most well stocked of any place I have ever stayed. Most impressive to me was a visitors guide that the owners put together. It had a ton of extremely helpful information. Local restaurant menus, brochures of places to visit, tv channel guide, plus general information about the resort itself. They definitely put a lot of time and thought into making their guests stay as relaxing and fun as possible.
2. The realty company that handles the rental is very easy to deal with. They have the checkin/checkout process down to a science. Everything flows smoothly and they answered any questions I had quickly and politely.
3. The building itself is in a fantastic location and well kept. Parking was never a problem. The view of the beach from this unit is amazing!
4. This unit was quiet. No traffic noise from the street or people in the breezeway.
Cons: (albeit all are extremely minor and out of anyone’s control for the most part. Certainly not bothersome enough to keep me from wanting to stay again)
1. The air conditioner is extremely loud, especially in the master bedroom. Not the unit itself, but the actual flow of air from the vents. It woke me up a couple of times the first night. I thought it was a jet engine.
2. Whoever does the general cleaning upon exit could do a little bit better job. It was clean overall, but little things I noticed such as an excessive amount of dust on one of the twin headboards and a LOT of sand widely spread on the floor upon our arrival. I understand it’s the beach, but I think regular vacuuming after every tenant leaves would prevent it. The color of the floor hides it well, but it is very annoying to walk barefoot and feel so much under your feet. The bathrooms and kitchen were both very clean though which matters much more to me than the floor.
3. A few lightbulbs were out. Two of the three above the kitchen sink/bar were blown. A very minor thing, but noticeable none the less.
4. The oven takes a LONG time to preheat. Again, nothing anyone can do about it, just good to know for those staying in the future.
5. Remotes , remotes and more remotes!!! It seemed like there was a different process in every room to turn on the tv, pick a channel and adjust the volume. Again, probably nothing can be done about it, but it was extra frustrating for my seven year old. :-(
