We have been coming to Fisherman's Cove for years and love this location! My parents used to own a unit in this building and my siblings and I wanted to visit again. We were very happy to find a first floor unit that would sleep 7 of us which included 5 adults and 2 children ages 9 and 13. Most of the units are only 2 bedroom and we were looking for a third bedroom to accommodate our group. Unfortunately, the third "bedroom" is a bunk bed housed inside the previous master bedroom walk-in closet. The top bunk was just too stuffy and tight to accommodate my 9 year old so she slept on the couch. Once realizing that the couch did not pull-out to a bed, my brother rented a folding bed from a local company and slept on the lanai. Although an air mattress is available in the unit, there is really no convenient floor space to set it up and keep it dry and clean for the week. This unit should not be advertised as a three bedroom unit and the price should really be set lower in the two bedroom range.
Furthermore, we were unfortunate to time our vacation during beach reconstruction! Due to the urgency of repairing the beach for the upcoming sea turtle season, the crew figured it must work non-stop around the clock. Instead of seagulls and ocean waves, we heard the roaring of construction trucks and beep-beep-beep of back-up signals all day and ALL NIGHT long for a week straight. By the time we left yesterday, the crew was past building A and now keeping building B up all night. I realize beach restoration is a good thing. We witnessed the last reconstruction in 2007 but at that time had known about it in advance and were able to plan accordingly. This time we didn't fare so well. Lastly, I want to mention a few items that were either missing or broken in the unit. The master bedroom ceiling fan did not work and this made for some stuffy nights. The living-room could use additional soft lighting to avoid the intense indirect bright lights of the lanai and dining areas. There is no dust pan, grapefruit spoons, and a limited number of forks, cereal bowls, and coffee cups. Additional shelf space and hooks in bathrooms could be installed for greater convenience. On a positive note, the unit is decorated nicely with a nice causal modern look and comfortable furniture. The water filter on the fridge was a nice thing to have but the ice dispenser does not seem to work. Overall, we are not likely to rent this unit again since it really does not accommodate us well.
