I really enjoyed this trip and there were a lot of things to love about this unit but there were a few unsavory details as well so I feel a Pros and Cons list is the best way to provide all the information.
Pros:
- Easy to walk to the beach, only takes 5 minutes
- Private beach access with umbrella and 2 chairs.
- 2 Bedrooms with King beds, and all bedrooms with their own bathrooms.
- 2 Fridges means plenty of food storage for a big group.
- Nice wood grain tile throughout the unit.
-The biggest pro for us was the price, compared to other units of this size and this close to the beach, we could have paid a lot more.
Cons:
- Safety concerns, windows will not stay open so in the event of a fire...
- Safety concern, the top bunk beds (2) are HIGH and have no rails.
- Insufficient kitchen supplies: hardly any cooking utensils, very few storage containers, no mixing bowls etc.
- 2 bedrooms are up 2 flights of stairs.
- Dryer takes forever to get clothes fully dry.
- There was not a functional smoke detector in the upstairs master, there was a spot where one was missing.
- Really wished there was an outdoor patio that wasn't part of a bedroom.
- Upstairs master bedroom has a moldy shower with a very difficult to open/ close door. (I got stuck in there once and my child could not open or close the door without help.)
- The unit has some updates and "appears" more modern in some areas but is still obviously an old unit, and unfortunately has that musty old smell.
- There is only dining seating for 8 people so we were not able to all sit down together for a meal.
- The biggest Con for us was the check-in company and procedure. Newman Dailey was very rude and having to find their office to "check-in" was not easy, not to mention they close at 5pm.
