With its lovely mid-century modern furniture and pretty beach-themed pillows and ornaments, this condo should be an "A" place for those like us who want casual beach décor. From my husband, mother, and myself, however, it rates a D minus because only my husband and I could budge one of the two sliding glass doors to the balcony, and then only using two hands. (The second door to the balcony was inoperable.) We complained about it the day after we arrived, and the rental agency sent a maintenance person by immediately to try lubricating it, but he concluded that lubrication was not enough and the door needed to be replaced. That verdict was repeated by men from two companies that came to look at the door (both unannounced) during our stay. The malfunctioning door may not bother you If you don't mind getting some exercise when opening and closing the door. Note, however, that as the door cannot be open at all from the outside, you won't be able to stay long outside unless you don't mind the humidity that builds up inside if the door is left open. Because my 96-year old Mom could not open the door on her own, it was a great disappointment as we could not leave her alone for long periods of time if she wished to be on the porch.. (The rental company did the right thing and offered us alternative lodgings in four other places it had available, but because my Mom requires a low bed and a step-in shower, none looked suitable.).
There were a number of maintenance issues in the 10 days we were there, the first of which (a malfunctioning toilet) we attended to when we arrived. We called in other maintenance problems to the rental agency, which promptly responded, even if it could not immediately address some of them.
The location is close (about 20 minutes by bike and 5 minutes by car) to the Canaveral National Seashore (bring your National Parks card for free entry), a wildlife preserve with pristine beaches and interesting historical exhibits. We biked there three days to look around and walk the beaches, and would have liked one more day to go canoeing. Unfortunately, we missed a park-sponsored boat tour of the waters, as you must sign up weeks ahead.
If we decide to visit this area of Florida again, we'd consider renting this condo if the balcony door has been replaced
