Pros:
The view is absolutely amazing. The unit is wonderfully decorated. I especially loved the decor and the flow of the unit. I love that you can see the ocean from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom. The unit is big enough for a family of 6 (we have 4 kids) BUT:
CONS:
-Terrible check in process. I spent 2 hours on the phone to figure out how to park. They never sent me an email to activate the parking process, which is an additional $20. This was not clear in the ad for the unit.
-You also have to pay $2 more per person to use the pool, and we were unable to obtain the wristbands because the HOA office was closed when we arrived ( only open until 3 pm mon-fri and check in was at 5 pm on fri). Luckily, we met someone who was staying at another unit, and we bought them a beer for a couple of wristbands. This was very frustrating because the security guard walks around and checks for wristbands and parking permits.
- The fridge in the unit leaks all over the floor all day, so we had to use the towels to prevent slipping. I mean major amounts of water on the kitchen floor. I alerted the management company and they didn't seem overly worried even though we had to continue to do laundry (with no soap provided) to keep up with the leaking fridge. I would watch your groceries if using this fridge, because who knows if it cools
- Master bedroom bed was way too soft
-Blankets are minimal, so we had to buy some extras (glad we were able to donate them afterwards because that is a big expense for a family of 6)
-No beach towels so we had to purchase those as well
- Beach chairs NOT included (extra $45 per day!!, which some other units included them with your nightly cost)
-Slightly sketchy area- During our stay we experienced a man jumping off the 23rd floor, and gun shots 2 doors down and across the street.
- Management company lacks concern when you bring up these issues, and from what I gathered from other people on the property they did not experience the headaches we did.
Overall I liked the unit. And I wish the management company or the reviews would have been more clear about the chairs, linens, parking, and pool access. The communication between VRBO, the management group, and the people who actually manage the property is a mess. And if you complain, they really don't care.
