We could not have been any happier with our 1-bedroom house; it was, literally, perfect, when considering quality, location and price. It's technically a duplex, however the owners have done a masterful job of totally isolating the two sides to where we felt we were in a stand-alone house (which I felt we actually were!).
The backyard has a gorgeous and huge paver deck, with a very nice designer pergola over a portion of it. Thus, the shaded area is perfect for activites in the shade...as is the other portion for sunbathers.
The house itself is extremely roomy, relative to most 1-Bedroom rentals, with nice tile floors, an open floorplan, upgraded amenities, and nice attention to detail. It had an appealing, open floorplan. Many extras were included at no extra cost, including bicycles and all beach necessities, as well as tons of necessities like shampoo, TP, paper towells, etc. And with so many snowbirds bringing their furry friends (aka cats and/or dogs), this unit is all the more appealing.
Oh, and not to be forgotten, the neighborhood is extremely nice and of course quite safe. And...a wonderful public beach is just a walk of about 6-blocks. Upscale shopping and restaurants area readily available throughout the area. And lastly, the owner is extremely responsive and helpful in all aspects.
