Overall our stay was better than expected. The room had everything we needed, including crab hunting stuff and sand toys. It was plenty clean for us. It was updated and decorated nicely. It could use an overall deep clean in the corners, around vents etc, but did not impact our stay AT ALL. The basics had been done well. Sheets were fresh, floor had been mopped, bathrooms and kitchen cleaned just fine. Do not be afraid to book here. After all, you are wet and tracking sand everywhere the whole time anyway. It is by no means horrible for a beach condo. we loved the space vs. a hotel room. The kids LOVED the arcade, the board games, and the curtains that closed over the bunk beds. The walk to the beach was very manageable (bring a folding wagon), the included chairs and umbrella were wonderful. The elevator wait was like any other elevator I have experienced. The rental company was prompt every time. I loved that the condo was close to everything, but away from the pier traffic and hustle. Go to Toms for donuts, its right up the street. We hardly used the pool because the beach was so nice. If you want a 5 star luxury experience, maybe don't book here. But if you want a fun family place with room for the kids ( ages 5, 3) , with all the things you need, and then some, and don't mind all things aren't perfect, this place is the best! I would stay here again. It was affordable, better than a hotel in a lot of ways, and we had a great time. DO NOT be afraid to stay here.
pros* short walk to the ocean, fun pools for kids, washer and dryer, ice maker, smart tv with apps and logins for each, arcade for kids, plenty of space for family of 4
cons* the balcony door doesn't lock, the corners and vents and such could use a deep clean, the garbage disposal doesn't work, none of which mattered to us.
