The only pro i can give is the closeness to the beach, easy walk.There is a very loud humming sound in the bedroom from the locked AC closset.was so loud all night for 4 nights! The furniture was so uncomfortable, we tried making out the couch bed thinking it would be more comfortable than the couch but that was way worse.The mattress was a full size on a queen frame and so old and felt only springs when sitting on it, there is no way anyone could have slept on that. And I thought there was a washer and dryer but discovered it was 3 flights down. 2.50 to wash, then... ran the dryer for an hour to discover it never got hot. Clothes were soaking wet still. Had to hang clothes up everywhere to dry ,then they were stiff and started to smell.no dish cloths at all and only one dish towel. No pot holders just one stiff mitten. Only two wash cloths and one hand towel in bathroom for 4 days!

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear your stay didn't meet your expectations. We wish you had reached out during your visit, as we would have gladly tried to address any concerns we reasonably could have, such as providing additional towels or clarifying the location of the laundry facilities, which are shared and noted in the listing.
We also want to note that after checkout, our cleaning team documented multiple towels with blood stains that could not be removed and had to be discarded. While accidents certainly happen, we appreciate when guests notify us so we can handle these situations appropriately.
We value all guest feedback and continue working to improve the experience for future visitors.
Overall our stay was great. Location is very close to a beach entry which we walked to with our beach wagon. We did have an issue with the fridge not being cool, but I notified the host and someone came out to fix it within the hour. We had no issues after. This unit is a third floor walk up, so be aware of that for any mobility concerns. I don’t recall that mentioned anywhere in the listing and it wasn’t an issue for us except for hauling everything up at check in and back down at check out. The only con was parking. The spaces are not assigned by unit and are very very narrow. If you take a pick up truck like we did it was difficult to park in a manner where your doors weren’t blocked in. Most people figured out that you have to stagger the vehicles since the spots are long so you can get in and out without hitting the cars next to you. But not everyone does it and you are likely to get door dinged/scratched as we did on one side. We are unlikely to stay here again just because of that reason and wish I knew that before booking. Sedans or small SUVs should be okay but if you’re larger you still might not have enough room to open your car door all the way to get in and out.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the location and that we were able to get the refrigerator working quickly so you could enjoy the rest of your stay.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the parking. The parking area is shared by the condominium complex, with one unassigned space per condo, so we unfortunately don't have control over the size of the spaces or how neighboring vehicles park. Larger trucks may find the spaces tighter than smaller vehicles.
For future guests, the listing also notes that the condo is located on the third floor and that there is no elevator, so guests with mobility concerns can plan accordingly. Thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience.
We had a great stay, the place was clean cold and comfortable just what we needed. Everything is close by, including the beach. The only thing we can complain about is the washer and dryer both need repair.
This property is exactly what it says it is! Walking distance to just about all you would need whilr on vacation, we didnt use our car at all! Very easy access and leaving getting in and out of condo. Gave a 4 on cleanliness as it coiuld of used a good dusting (ceiling fans and around air vents) but nothing crazy!
Great location and EXCELLENT communication from host! It was super quiet and in a great location. We were able to walk to the beach in maybe 4 minutes tops. It looked bigger than the pictures so that was a nice surprise :)
Loved everything about our stay. 3rd floor may be hard for some tho but I enjoyed the challenge lol. Can’t think of a thing I didn’t like! Would recommend!
I enjoyed the property. It was within walking distance (2 minutes) of the beach and right around the corner from restaurants. Other things were within easy driving distance. Definitely a great stay.
The rules, check in and check out procedures were clearly stated, even had them printed out and easily visible. There really was no confusion or second guessing.The pool is really nice, a lot of shade. We appreciated the location because we were able to walk to the beach. Bonus, there is an outdoor shower to rinse off. This made it easier for us to not track in sand. This is a perfect place for small families with little ones.
Celeste is a great host! The apartment was very clean and spacious. So much closer to the beach than I thought.
Just a small side note is that the bathroom is very small, but it wasn’t a huge deal to me, as you really can’t beat how big the living room/kitchen and bedroom is and the location.
