Everything we needed to relax, rejuvinate, & reconnect this year as a family of 4 living in different states. Felt safe/secure; easy parking & check-in; clean; comfy beds & seating, plenty of hot water, consistant well-tuned air conditioning; good sound dampening with very little neighborly noise but still could hear ocean waves at night. (I know these should seem like a given, but were deal-breakers at other places we'd stayed over the years.) Owner is very responsive to any questions.
We cooked many meals here but plenty of great eateries close by. Ample dishes, flatware, & cook/bake ware; full kitchen fits 1 cook very well (2 might be a squeeze). We ate & lived on that balcony, awesome views & breeze! We watched pods of dolphins, rocket launch, turtles nesting...pleasantly surprised at how quiet & uncrowded drive-on beach is, this location is awesome. Basic beach supplies/ games in condo; beach itself is soft firm sand & literally steps from gated access. Decor has a personal, beachy feel with a hint of old-world Florida, really comfortable & geared for easy sand & clutter control. We loved that the most basic paper products, meal condiments & toiletries were here initially; we didn't need to go shopping immediately,, we hit the beach instead! All appliances are super quiet, great-quality; in-unit laundry allowed us to travel light. We literally brought a swimsuit, sunglasses & sunscreen, toothbrush & paste, a few clothes changes, & tennis rackets (public courts close by). Unpacked in no time,, plenty of drawers/closets/hangers, good use of available space. Loved board games, Iarge screen TV for family movie nights + bedroom TV's. We found Win Dixie & Walmart near I-95 was a short drive for much better prices than nearby Publix, but everything--market, shopping, fun stuff--is close.
The few drawbacks: Bought our own boogie boards, the ones here were already worn/cracked. Elevator service limited during our visit, working above 2nd floor & slow but repairs in progress. Bedroom & balcony space adequate for 4 adults; is not suitable for handicapped, they wouldn't find it as comfortable as we did (and isn't advertized as such, just to be clear). The combined, added costs for cleaning, VRBO fees & FL tax (those last two are VERY HEFTY) a real consideration, but this was a very fair deal overall.
We enjoyed our visit very much & would love to stay here again.
