Unfortunately, this BeachBox did not live up to expectations.
The listing claims it sleeps four, but thatâs simply not true. Thereâs no sofabedâjust a lumpy three-piece couch that doesnât function as a sleeping surface. Itâs also not the one pictured in the photos.
Several advertised amenities were misleading or unusable. The hairdryer was melted and had a European plug, making it completely unusable. The âdeskâ mentioned in the listing doesnât exist. The air conditioning unit was visibly covered in mildew on the blades, which was concerning.
WiFi? Practically nonexistent. When it did connect, it was so slow even the TV struggled to load anything despite there being an access point in the room that clearly isnât functioning. My 2008 iPhone ran faster.
Cleanliness also left a lot to be desired. Dishes were dirty, the toilet was gross at the base, the curtains were covered in mildew behind them, and the TV screen looked like it had been scraped with a rock. The bed was not a proper mattress but rather a stack of three foam toppers, and the pillowsâclearly very low qualityâseemed like theyâd never been washed. Youâre told not to strip the beds, and after seeing the condition of everything, I understand why.
Pros:
âą A short walk to the beach
âą Lots of natural light
âą Easy parking
âą The room did smell clean upon arrival

Bottom line: Youâre paying for proximity to the beac
