Overall, we enjoyed this unit. It is decorated very nicely and we could tell that a lot of thought went into making decor decisions that elevated the feel of the unit. We were grateful for no gaudy beach life themes. We particularly liked having a drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig type. The beach is right outside and we had a full ocean view.
Things we wish had went differently: the A/C unit wasn't cooling very well (at all) and our bedroom was at least 75 degrees. Communication with the property owner was less than stellar and less than timely. She asked if we had the patio doors closed, which I found insulting, and then suggested we use a fan that was kept in the closet, which we felt was dismissive. Eventually, she did get a repair person to the unit and after two nights of sweating, the A/C unit finally began working properly.
I had also mentioned the ice maker was not working or perhaps I wasn't doing something correctly to get it going. This was never addressed by the owner and we simply decided to go buy bags of ice from the nearby grocer.
The unit is secure, for sure. We named it Alcatraz because you need a four digit code to even get into the building and then a 10 digit code to get into the unit. After entering the 10 digit code, you must turn two door handles at the same time to enter. If you have anything in your hands like beach chairs, luggage, (or bags of ice) this is quite the magic trick. Parking is across the street, so be careful crossing over.
