Hard to beat that view!
This is my third trip to IRB, and my third rental facility. We booked about a month out, to celebrate our babymoon, and had a lovely time. We really enjoyed our trip and thought Beach Bungalow Place was a nice, affordable place to call home for the week. Our condo was clean and provided everything we expected. We'd definitely prefer a king bed, but understand space is limited in a studio! I will say, if you're a light sleeper, bring an eye mask, ear plugs and a noise machine if you'd like a quality night of sleep.
PROS: The ice machine is a game changer, especially when packing a cooler for the beach each day. Very nice amenity! The box fan also came in handy, especially at night to drown out the AC kicking on & off. The chairs supplied are very nice and sturdy. They are a little heavy to carry back and forth to the beach, but manageable. There were two umbrellas left there for folks to use, but we brought our own sunshade, which provides much more shade. Free laundry facilities on site was nice as well. We just used the dryer, as the washer had a sign saying there was bleach in the washing machines, so I was too scared to ruin our clothes. Having a designated parking space was a nice perk. Always knowing you had a place to park after dinner in the evenings, instead of hunting for a place. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating that was available for each unit, and the large dining tables/chairs. It was nice to sit out each morning and evening to enjoy the beach and sunsets! The grounds were very clean and well kept, and that view is remarkable!
CONS: We felt a little bit micromanaged with all of the rules and the LYNC system. The pillows were flat as pancakes, even with 6 of them provided, they provided ZERO support. Here's where your eye mask would come in handy.. The smoke detector flash is extremely bright, almost strobe like, and lights up the entire room all night long. I understand safety is important, but it was quite annoying. Also the shade on the front door does little to block out the outside light. The AC kicking on sounds like someone opening a door, so needless to say, we didn't sleep well. We had the box fan and a sound machine going, but it was still very loud. This wasn't a con for us this time, but other guests were disappointed there weren't kayaks/paddleboards available to use as seen in photos. When they reached out to property management, they were told that those were unavailable, but no other explanation as to why.
Overall, we would recommend this condo to friends and family, with a warning of the above caveats. I think we'd return to Beach Bungalow Place, but maybe stay in one of the lower units next time!
