Pros:

The open floor plan in living area and simple access to the pool and beach

Cons:

The lament wood flooring the sand is invisible a broom doesn't get the sand up. So you have to wear socks or flip flops, i recommend a Swiffer vacuum.

Prob won’t choose this location again due to being so far out of the city. Dollar generals were close but on a vacation
Pros:

It was clean and offered enough room to be comfortable. The shower heads need cleaning and or fixed, but the kids enjoyed it.

Cons:

Low water pressure was about all.

Holiday Beach Fun w/ son.
Pros:

The location was great. The idea of a private beach was awesome. The fact the unit was on the 1st floor was a bonus.

Cons:

The Cleaning crew can do better with cleaning, but it's ok the area was decent and presentable.

Great location. Great value!
Pros:

Location was great. Away from the hustle and bustle.

Cons:

The only things that I think could've been better.
1. The mattresses on the beds ciuld be improved. Uncomfortable to me and my wife.
2. I'd remove the bathtubs and update the bathrooms just showers and have taller shower heads. The heads were below my chin.... im only 6'1"
Theses are just suggestions. We enjoyed our stay and the host communicated well.

Informed owners and messaged reply , were told staff would come next day to sort issues and clean but no one turned up and no more communication from owners .apartment is advertised with a sauna but not the case .

Filthy place
Pros:

It was beachfront.

Cons:

When we arrived, the place was filthy. We were suppose to have a key for entry to the pool, sauna, fitness room...but no key. We had to wait until the office opened the next day. Floors unswept, microwave doesn't work and the cord is propped up by 4 books to try to make the cord work (major fire hazard. Needs new receptacle), glass doors and dishwasher door smeared with kids food/fingerprints, hair on shower floor, bathroom sinks/faucet with toothpaste spit, both bedroom ceiling lights don't work, kitchen utensils in drawers with crumbs all over them, pot holder dirty with food spills, the furniture had thick dust. For the price we paid, it is a rip-off. I'm 64 yrs old and have NEVER stayed at a dirtier place.

We chose this place because it had a hot tub too. It's down due to wiring issues for indefinite time.

I did complain and let people know. So they sent in cleaning and maintenance people the 2nd day. I left a cleaning list! Most of it was done. Maintenance changed 1 light bulb and nothing else was fixed. But to pay $693 for 3 days, you shouldn't have to have cleaners and maintenance issues while you are there.

We will never go back here. Don't waste your money or time. If we could have left and got a refund, we would have in the first 30 minutes of arriving.
