Overall, a wonderful stay
Pros:

Location to beach. Layout of the apartment. Felt like home.

Cons:

It wasn’t too bad, as i went in April when nights weren’t that humid, but the cooling in the bedrooms isn’t quite up to par. If there’s no aircon in the rooms, you need either a ceiling fan directly above the bed or a pedestal fan for each room. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom did not spin fast enough to feel a breeze, and was located above the foot of the bed so it was essentially useless. One pedestal fan was provided, but it’s a 2 bedroom unit, so….

Surf and chill. Eat Sleep Repeat
Pros:

The property was spacious and comfortable, it was close to the main surf spots (which are ridiculously crowded) but I thoroughly enjoyed the location and stay.
