Although this condo was very clean and beautifully decorated, we only stayed one night of our 4 night trip because it was insanely noisy from the construction. The description of this condo discloses the construction going on, but what the description (and especially the pictures) fail to show is that this condo is IN the construction zone. I wish I could add my pictures to show that the building is literally a few feet from the actual construction zone. The pictures listed do not show the actual construction going on or the proximity to the condo. We woke up at 7:15am (and had to listen throughout the entire day) to the sound of constant “back-up beeping”, honking, and hammering on metal. The view out the window is of the construction site which drastically took away from what we hoped would be an incredible ocean front view. While I was assured beforehand that our beach access would not be blocked, that was false. There were 2 locked gates prohibiting beach access next to the condo because that is where the construction site starts. So instead of being able to load up our family and all of our beach gear easily since our condo was technically on the beach, we had to drag everything back and forth trying to find the next closest way to access the beach (which defeated the purpose of paying to stay ON the beach.) Then, once we found our way to the beach, it still wasn’t relaxing at all because again- we were trying to enjoy the beach during constant construction noise.
The walls of the condo itself are very thin, so in the evenings (after the construction stopped around 5:30pm,) we could hear constant running from either children or dogs next door. This went on until very late at night. Unfortunately I was also really looking forward to taking a bath in the huge master bath tub, but there was only enough hot water to fill up about 1/4 of it (and that was with no laundry, dishes, or other showers beforehand.)
I contacted the owner via text, email, and messenger explaining our concerns but never received a reply to any of my communications.
If there were no construction going on, this would be a lovely condo. The proximity to restaurants and shops and it’s spacious rooms are nice, but unfortunately having to wake up to (and constantly put up with) the construction noise and prohibited beach access does not feel like a vacation.
