We were in unit #2605. Unit was mostly nice, although the bed in the room we were in was in very bad shape. We woke up with back pain every day and had a hard time sleeping. Our bathroom had mold, the windows didn't open, the oven was dirty and smoked up the condo when we turned it on, and the fridge water dispenser didn't work. I felt a little cheated having paid a lot of money and to not have everything perfect.
The worst part of the trip was the beach. Every morning, the lifeguards (and I use that term loosely) would line up beach chairs and umbrellas in the entire beach front. What this means for a renter is that you can not set up your umbrella in front of this row. The chairs and umbrellas are so close together that by setting up behind them, you had to walk all the way to the end of the row to access the ocean. if you havekids - you can't see them. The only place you could set up was by the pier - where it is a no swim zone. This particular area backs into a bacteria infested sand zone. There is one little sign warning people not to touch this section of sand. I saw kids in there all the time as the sign is not noticeable when you come out from the condo. The condo is next to a huge trailer park. What this means is there was a daily competition of rushing out early in the morning to secure a spot on the sand in an area where you are not behind the long row of umbrellas. We had to get up early and run down to set up our stuff before others got to it. keep in mind - you aren't allowed to swim in that area - this ended up being highly inconvenient, especially since we asked the owner if there was competition for beach space. Where we usually go for vacation, there is competition and so we were alert to this possibilty. she told us no - the beach is open. The life guards were more busy processing transactions for the chair rentals than watching the people in the water. Chair rentals ran $40 for 2 chairs and one umbrella. You better like your neighbor because they are placed in a solid row and if there is more than 2 of you it is impossible to spread out unelss you rent more chairs. did I mention that by being by the fishing pier, it attracted sharks. There were several shark sightings while we were there. and they came up pretty close to where people were swimming. There is clearly some issue between condo owners and renters so the condo has made it impossible for a tourist to have a good time there. For the amount of money we spent for this rental, I felt cheated. I don't recommmend staying there and as an fyi, by walking up the beach, many other condos follow suit. read more
