Let's start with the Pros: having powder room and full bath makes it easier to get ready when traveling with 2 women, walkable location near beach, village shops and restaurants, quite neighborhood felt safe, free transportation on the island using golf carts with app Freebee, easy access to rideshare Uber & Lyft to Miami, however a parking space available if you arrive by car.
Moving on to the Cons: Owner has to approve your reservation - not noting my time zone difference she called at 6:30am PST leaving messages to call her back ASAP to chat about my request. When I returned her call 2 hours later, she was irritated about the delay even when I explained my time zone difference of 3 hours behind EST. Cumbersome entry procedure - having to call the owner when arriving even though door lock opens with code- no texting option available. Front building door always unlocked - anyone can enter and walk through condo building, no information book/binder for guests to acquaint yourself with the condo or nearby neighborhood, instead the owner called several times during our stay to tell us about things - I'm on vacation and I prefer to be left alone and don't need the extra phone calls (almost daily) to tell me about the nearby restaurants she prefers or directions to the beach, etc., lots of tchotchkes on every surface that we had to declutter in order to use surface tops, also kitchen cabinets were stuffed with items and there was no place to put our groceries outside the fridge. When we did contact the owner as we were not provided with enough toilet paper and paper towels for 4 night stay, we were told that no extras were to be provided because prior guests often take the extras. Hence, we had to run out and had to go buy more paper supplies -- This should not have happened!
The property location is great, but the owner doesn't understand that not everyone needs to much contact during a vacation. I prefer low key people, uncluttered spaces and enough paper products when traveling and can't recommend this property.
