I hate to give a review because it was perfect for us, but I know I'd like to have read this to have felt better when I did book. It was a last minute booking for us and there weren't many recent reviews. I loved that the walk to the beach was so close, the neighborhood was safe, the walk to the other side of the island was a 10-stroll to see the sunset, and you could walk 3-4 blocks to have a ton of family run restaurants and shopping. We loved not be on hotel row. The beach activity was not crowded and felt like we were a local and could easily walk in either direction for the perfect walk along the beach. The beach edge was nice soft sand.
The condo was nice. I traveled with my 2 teenagers who don't want to share a bed anymore so one slept on the couch and there was bedding to accommodate (not a pull-out). The kitchen was perfect (filtered water, well stocked with dishes.). The bathrooms were great (loved the water pressure, had a hair dryer). I also liked that the owner didn't throw away items left by other people that are nice to have, but no one want to bring (shampoo, conditioner, items in frig/freezer that maybe someone else could use.). That's what I like about vbro is those little things to make your travel more like staying at home.
There was a garage to use with some beach chairs, bikes, beach towels, even some beach bags, hats, sun screen, magazines, etc. There are 3 TV's which have access to Hulu and your accounts. The TV's are small for the room, but really not there for that. We watched shows at night and just camped out closer. Not a big deal at all and nice to have access to something else. I loved the 2 balconies. One was shaded with palm trees, which is great when it's hot and humid but don't need the sun and the other one is on the front perfect for needing sun. It was very windy and too cold to go to the beach, but sitting out on that balcony you would never know. I would definitely come back.
