This is a great condo that’s nicely decorated, super clean and has all the amenities we could’ve wanted. The location is the best part, as it’s a 3 minute walk to the bayside beach and playground (fantastic for our 3 and 5 year olds) and about a 10 minute walk to the ocean and shopping and dining.
The condo has some places that could use upgrading from an aesthetic standpoint (bathrooms, kitchen) but everything functioned perfectly and was clean. In my eyes, no reason for this to affect the review negatively.
The layout of the place is awesome. All too often, we’ve rented houses and apartments that have the kids’ bedroom immediately off of the kitchen and living space. This means that the adults need to stay very quiet after bedtime. In this condo, there is a little hall, and the bedrooms are around the corner, meaning we could have enjoyable evenings without worrying about waking the kids.
The only reason that I would give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is located on the 3rd floor, and is accessible only via a narrow interior stairway. The listing does make mention of the third floor, but it doesn’t mention an elevator, which I should have taken notice of. There IS an elevator, however, it’s marked “out of service” and service doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon. The long and short of it is that it’s a pain to haul the kids and all their stuff up three flights of stairs and through a locked gate and three heavy doors. I wouldn’t consider this an issue if it’d been an adult trip.
Owner/contact person was very friendly, helpful and available.
All in all, great condo. Would definitely recommend. Would definitely stay again.
