Reviewer Comments:
This group of properties is in a great location, walking distance to the oceanside pier, but far enough south that the "south strand" of road doesnt pass in front. The quality and appearance of the property is good, and it has everything you could need. It is very expensive, but in my opinoin a decent price for the location and size. If you are a first time renter there are a few things you should know (if you read the fine print all of this is on the website, but it can be ambiguous): Most of the time there is no beach at the oceanside locations. When the tide is at its lowest, in this unit, you can climb down the rocks in front and have a small strip of sand for kids to play on (no access for those unable to climb large rocks). If you are planning for small kids to run out onto the sand from this unit, this isnt a good fit. It is a 15 minute walk north to the beach at oceanside pier. Unless you are renting the entire building (4 floors I think), this unit is like a condo with individual renters on each floor, and privacy if desired will be an issue. As a non smoker surrounded by smokers above and to the side we were unwilling to sit on the porch in the constant smoke. Our preference, but must be considered if you dont like smoke. On a busy weekend there were few times where nobody was smoking outside. Booking is easy and management was very attentive to some maintenance needs we had and resolved them quickly. Know the booking cancellation policy, I booked inside the cancellation period and made a simple mistake (I knew the policy, just made a keystroke mistake a few weeks before our intended stay), I called right away to correct and was denied a full refund of the single night change. As a return renter I found this rather unappealing and is the main reason for the 3 star rating. Management offered different less ideal remedies. We enjoyed the week, and it is nice that each room has its own bathroom, and the kids loved the hot tub (not smoke averse)
