The ant issue needs to be addressed. The location was nice though.
Pros:

The location is nice

Cons:

305 had ants in the kitchen bedroom and bathroom. They were even on the beds.

Pros:

We were right on the beach.

Cons:

The place was not clean. We had to clean once we got our luggage in room. There was sticky something on front of cabinets. Food between stove wall and cabinet wall. Floor was gritty which floor didn't really bother me being so close to beach but having to clean dishes and wipe counters before eating and haven't ate there before wasn't ideal. My niece said the rooms she stayed in was nothing like I experienced. Maybe this room was missed on the cleaning list.

Pros:

Close to the beach

Cons:

Poor maintenance. I swept up 4 gallons of sand in the porch area. The door latch would not work and one could not close the door without continually locking it. Being that I’m a ‘fix-it guy’ I cleaned it up and got it working. Sand was the problem. We paid $203 for the night for the room. What we got was a $110 dollar room. We still enjoyed our stay here, though we will pick another place to stay next time.

It was ok. I won't be back.
Pros:

There was no breakfast just so y'all know. While it smelled clean, the smell was overpowering but I am sure it's to help with mildew smells being it's on the beach. It is right on the beach but the drop-off was 10 feet.

Cons:

I left my phone charger, a portable one that plugs into the wall and then you can carry in your purse. You can charge both Android and iPhone on it. I left to go to Cassadega for the day and texted through this app that I forgot it. Well, I get a text back are you nearby then a text saying the housekeeping didn't see it. (Right) And then a message I have guests. Like too bad how sad for you.

I didn't get any good sleep for 4 days and wasn't happy how dirty the unit was.
Pros:

It was close to the beach

Cons:

The unit was not very clean. You can see dirt all over baseboard and in between the stove and fridge. The kitchen mats were very dirty. The towels need to be replaced. The toilet paper was very thin and only 2 rolls for 4 days, we had to buy more. There were not any trash bags. There is mold on the bathroom ceiling. There wasn't any water pressure because there is a giant rain shower that was the size of the whole shower. It was noisy from hearing everything from the above entry and parking lot

Terrible
Cons:

The room was filthy
The tv didn’t work the entire time we were there
The shower curtain was held up by a wire in the ceiling. The bathroom blinds were broken. We called and asked for help w the tv and got no response because there were no staff on site. Every door and gate used a code . Outside of being in a good location the place was a dump

Every thing else was great .
Pros:

Room was good location was great but did not how the we got our key for the room and when we left communication for the key was terrible

Cons:

Not having a real person there to help with getting our key to the room was terrible and when we left we could not get the lockbox open and was told to leave it on the table I did not feel good about leaving the door unlocked but that is what they had us do so we took pictures of everything how we left

Other than that, I have no complaints, the staff and owners were responsive very prompt and provided a great place to st
Pros:

I loved everything about the property. We had a great stay!.

Cons:

The only thing I did not like was the surprise deposit of $100. Our emails and text messages stated the card was on file in case of damage, but nothing would be charged if there was no damage. And we had a surprise hold on our card for $100.

Pros:

I like that it was near the water

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that I thought it was a hotel instead it was a lockbox facility. I didn't know that I needed to check my email for detailed instructions. Because I didn't know that there was an email I didn't have the code when I arrived. I also didn't know that there was limited parking and that I was instructed to go to an overflow parking lot that wasn't marked at all. I ended up getting a parking violation of $70. I'm very unhappy with the whole thing and I'm skeptical about using booking.com.
