I rented this condo because there are very few listings that offer enough beds for everyone in the family to have their own bed - and this place definitely delivered on that. My spouse and I traveled with our four small people (8,7,4,2) — and reviews indicated this is a family friendly rental. Which is where we ran into our first snag: we had arrived just before 6am and while we did haul in all our things upon arrival, we were down on the beach by 6:30 to enjoy the sunrise. I received a call at 9:30am from the owner that there had been noise complaints, specifically children running. At this point, we had spent maybe one total hour in the condo. The owner was very clear that quiet hours begin at 10pm, as if we had been making noise all night. On the refrigerator there are many rules and regulations posted, one is that the condo observes 10p to 7a “quiet time.” I would have appreciated knowing this prior to arrival, or ideally, prior to booking. We spent the rest of our time in the condo shushing the children.
The provided information emailed from the owner appeared to be a message emailed and forwarded and updated and resent. The provided pool code was not correct, which we only learned when trying to use it. Other residents/guests gave us the correct code so we were able to use the pool advertised in the listing.
There is an open lawsuit(?) regarding beach access on direct access/private beach, but none of it really made sense about where we were supposed to be and where we were not supposed to be. Fortunately, no one really seemed to care where anyone was and it didn’t really matter, but I’m surprised there is not information available in the listing regarding limited beach access due to an ongoing lawsuit.
The towels are plenty, which is great. There aren’t many rugs and tile floors so it got slippery pretty quick and we had more than one wipe-out during our trip. Of four sinks (one kitchen; three bathroom) there was one partial bottle of provided hand soap. The pantry and fridge were pretty well stocked from previous guests, so check that out before you hit the store to stock up! The selection of plates and pots and pans and serving baskets/platters was extensive, which was fantastic.
The place is visually very tidy, but we (the toddler, specifically) found dirty socks, toys, and old food under furniture which was a little unsettling. The master bathroom vent light was also out.
Perfect location. Many beds. But be quiet
