Water main break dampened stay

Good features of property: comfortable King bed, fantastic view, well-stocked kitchen cookware, nice shower (need to update photos), easy parking, night lights, dehumidifier.Needs improvement: The day we checked in there was no water: Couldn't flush toilet, wash hands, etc. It was turned back on late afternoon until parts could be obtained. Water turned off again 5 days later. After repairs the water pressure was very low.

Beach Stay

Communication with property manager was great. As was the access in and out of the property. Beautiful view of the beach. Bed was very comfortable, kitchen was very nice, had most things we needed, couch and recliner comfortable along with the balcony furniture. Would stay here again, for sure. A few things that would have made it more comfortable, kleenex, cutting board, coffee, cooking spray and some seasonall.

Great location

The apartment was very nice with a beautiful view. Easy walk to Wanna Wanna and Kelly's Pub. Communication was an issue. We arrived earlier in the day than anticipated so messaged Laura to see if we could check in early. No response so I called and got voicemail but no call back. Finally contacted Judy but she could not help us. Also had an issue with one of the remoted when we tried to get local news so texted Laura again to double check if the numbers on the instruction were service people - didn't want them to get a charge if it wasn't necessary again no response. Once these ladies learn to communicate with their clients this will be a perfect booking. The laundry room was next door so was easy to do a little before we left.

Clean Small Condo

The condo itself was clean and fine for our stay. The property itself was an older unit and we were disappointed the hot tub was not clean and extremely small. However, the beach was wonderful and overall the condo met our needs. The supply of towels , including beach towels was very nice also. The chairs and umbrella were a plus as well!

Excellent Location

Condo was indeed right on the beach, fantastic balcony view. Unit was clean and well stocked without being cluttered. King bed was VERY tired. Building is quite old with related issues. Water pipe broke, It was reported and apparently it is not rare. No water at the property for 5 hours.

Nice ocean view

Clean, small, a little dated, and hopefully they get a new tv as we had a lot of problems with it. Not that we watched it a lot, but when you wanted to watch it, it was hard to get on. Property owner was good about trying to resolve the issue most of the time, but I think there is something wrong with it.

Short February stay

The weather started cold, wet and windy, such that we never used the a.c. But instead the heating worked well. The humidity and the heating tended to make the floor tiling near the window slick with moisture. Possibly this was because the garage underneath offered no insulation from the cold. However the sun came out, the rain stopped and the wind abated making the last day or so very nice. The kingsized bed was “aged”! The bedside light USB charger sockets were a nice feature. Kitchen was well supplied. TV worked well. We were lucky enough to always find a parking place undercover. Much appreciated when it was raining. The view was accurate. It was nice to admire the waves irrespective of the weather.

Clueless owner

The evening we arrived we called the owner. The instructions and picture of the TV remote in the living room did not correspond with the remotes. She responded with confusion and helpless instructions. We told her there was no remote for the TV in the bedroom. She was unaware there was not a remote. The king size bed mattress was very soft and sway back in the middle. We each kept sliding into the middle of the bed. A chair in the living room that should have reclined had a metal rod poking through the back area, and the foot rest did not work properly. Cheap, cheap, cluless owner. She gets 2 stars because at least there weren't bugs.
