The unit is large for a two bedroom oceanfront, especially in Florida. It was very well equipped, especially the kitchen. You can’t beat the location and proximity to the beach. The view from the deck is great. Overall, a positive experience! However, I have to be honest with potential renters that may read reviews. There are some drawbacks to staying here:
1. Checking in and leaving. The lock box pickup is inconvenient as you have to drive out of your way to physically pickup and drop off keys. I haven’t had to use actual keys at a vacation property for several years. Not sure why they haven’t changed to keypad locks by now?
2. Lack of privacy inside and out. The walls are paper thin. Indoors, you can literally hear every word of conversation from the unit above or below, especially if the tv is off and no appliances are running. You pretty much share a deck with your neighbors on the same level as you. If you stay on the lower level, the folks above you have an unobstructed view into your place as they use the stairs. This is fine, if you have polite people staying above or beside you, we did not! Do not stay on the lower level if you don’t want to hear every footstep, chair pullout, or toilet flush the folks above you make. Also, if on the lower level, you can expect crumbs of food, any spills, and even dripping from wet swimsuits to rain down on you due to the near 1/2 inch gaps in the decking boards above you.
3. Uncomfortable furniture in the living area and on the deck. The only television was in the living area with none in either of the bedrooms. It would have been nice to drown out some of the neighbors noise with a tv in the bedroom.
4. The rusty interior of the drier drum stained the only load of laundry we attempted.
