Nice but overpriced.
The condo is cute for a couple, but was very small and it was way overpriced. $3000 was kind of steep for what we rented.

Room 1011 was on the corner so the view was amazing. We were able to see the Thursday fireworks from the hallway. The place was clean and comfortable. The cons…the bedroom is by the hall trash chute which which was loud. There is a sign to not use it at night but people still do and it woke us up every time. Also, there were only 4 elevators, on that side of the provides one laundry

The view to the ocean was great. Pretty much what I paid for apparently. The room was in much need of a deep cleaning. Splatters on the walls. Floor was gross. Area rugs need to be replaced. Shower was dirty. The room was not what I was expecting. Pictures on the website were deceiving. Not at all what I got.

Someone in the property next door or above us was drilling on the floor and it was very unpleasant as the noise was everyday t he at we were there. Also our apartment needed better maintenance as the shower glass door was having issues, the tv in the master bedroom was falling off the wall, and 2 elevators were not working so it would take long every time we needed to go up or down.
I was not satisfied with the stay.
