If you are looking for city life with close proximity to the beach, this is your place. It was noisy outside, lots of honking and fire truck noise, although most of the noise was blocked by thick sliding doors, we like to be able to have doors open to hear the ocean. it is only a few minutes walk to the beach, but there is a busy road that must be crossed to get there. beach is pretty busy, tho, they do include two chairs and umbrella and four towels in the price. I felt that the condo was a bit understocked with items that would be needed for Any length of stay. Though they did respond very timely when we needed things addressed. I chose this particular condo because of the extra amenities with the tennis court, racquetball and basketball. But I wish it would’ve mentioned that you had to schedule time to use them. as for the check in, there was very little information at the desk and no information in the condo about how the facility runs. Overall, I just felt like it wasn’t very homey as other places we have stayed at. But that could be because it’s a high-rise hotel and it was our first time staying at a place like that. Just know ahead of time there’s not gonna be the personal touch that you feel with a home or smaller condo building. Also, a big must to know is that you have no other choice than to valet your car. it was a fairly smooth process, but you need to give them about 5 to 10 minutes notice before you want your car, it can be pricey.
