Pros:
- Condo is very large and looks just like the photos. Decor is lovely and most things you'll need are supplied, especially in the kitchen. Nice, large TVs also :)!
- Location is great w/ quick access to the boardwalk/inlet, lots of great restaurants & an easy drive to Assateague & Berlin.
- Sheets and towels are included. Apparently this is not usual for OC, so we really appreciated not having to bring our own.
- The Makai building has a nice, heated pool, gym, sauna & billiards room. Really enjoyed these amenities for the first couple of nights. As more & more people checked in, we decided not to use the pool or sauna after the first two nights. Entirely our choice as we were trying to distance w/ COVID & we didn't want to visit the pool when kids were there. Not our idea of a relaxing swim :)! We did use the billiards room every day & only ran into another couple once while we were there.
- The view from the condo is both a positive & a negative. If you don't pay attention to all of the other balconies that are to the right of the large condo balcony (one within touching distance) or the convention center to the left or the trash and building supplies straight down, the view of the bay is really lovely. Unfortunately, it was cloudy & rainy the whole time we were there, so we weren't able to see what must be spectacular sunsets.
- Beds are very comfortable & bedrooms are very roomy.
- Bathrooms are clean & laid out nicely.
Cons:
- The Makai building is really showing its age. The hallways & carpets are very dingy/dirty, the billiards room is extremely outdated & also very dingy and dusty.
- When we arrived at the condo, the beds were made up with quilts & shams, & we just had put the sheets on when they arrived from the linen company. We suspected that the quilts and shams might not be freshly washed, & sent an inquiry via the VRBO app to ask the property owner. Didn't hear back from them until days after we returned from our trip. They said that blankets are washed "occasionally, but not as a rule" in between guests. That's pretty darn gross, especially with COVID... We would strongly recommend bringing your own blankets or quilts & immediately taking what's in the condo off of the beds. Also, bring your own pillows. There are lots in the condo, but most are very flimsy & look like they've been around for a long time.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay & would book this condo again, but w/ our own blankets & pillows.
