From when I booked the reservation until we went, a year passed. The condo had a brand new look! In the time in between it was remodeled. It was very clean, bright, well decorated. Freshly painted, with new flooring, new kitchen counters, some new appliances and furniture among other things. Best was the conversion of a bath tub to a nice walk in shower in the master bath. Everything you could want in a kitchen was there pan and dish wise. The condo is very convenient to the boardwalk to the beach, and if you look in the closet you will find chairs, beach toys, a boogie board. The bedrooms have a chest with good drawer and closet space. A nice home away from home. You climb 10 step to reach the 1st floor, walk to the close elevator, and exit on the 2nd floor just 20 steps from the elevator. Easy. The balcony is cute; we spent a lot of time there. We had no issues with noise from people on the stairs, in fact, I missed that the stairs were even close. We contacted the owners once over a small issue, and they were so very nice; problem solved immediately - good communication. I had issues with very few things, 1. Lack of space to hang wet towels. etc., we bought a cheap fold up rack to use. 2. The quality of the towels from the linen service was poor. 3. The ocean view is even more limited than stated in the description. You can hardly make out the beach, umbrellas, or any people.That said, I would rate it 9.9 out of 10. Highly recommended. Excellent place!
