While the apartment is conveniently located and offers direct beach access, it does feel somewhat outdated. One of our main frustrations was the internet service. Despite contacting the rental company multiple times, it took more than two days to get Wi-Fi access, and even once it was available, the connection was so slow that using our cellular data and personal hotspot remained faster and more reliable.In addition, although the apartment is advertised as accommodating six guests, the kitchen was not adequately stocked for that capacity. There were only four forks available, all from different sets, which gave the impression of a lack of attention to detail and maintenance.

Pros: Location was nice and quiet. This condo has a lot of potential. Balcony chairs were awesome!Cons: Living room furniture was not too comfortable and could be updated. Screen on sliding door was missing so we weren't able to enjoy the breeze. Not able to watch tv the first night due to wifi/connection (property mgmt fixed the issue the next day).Beach chairs were crummy and rusted but the umbrella was nice touch.Guest room shower extremely small.Only one very small fry pan there and was really scratched (so we had to purchase one).

We were surprised by how amazing the view was from the deck. The beds were very comfortable and the kids beds were full sized not twin. The convenience of a washer and dryer made everything so much easier. The walk to the beach was short... it felt like it was just in our backyard. We had very little contact with the host because everything was just how it should be. We really hope to get this unit again.
