If I could give a higher rating than a 5, I would. I stay at rentals in many different places, and this unit overall checks every single box as far as expectations.
First of all the location is as good as it gets without paying the high price of staying right on the beach. The walkway to the beach is directly across the street with a pedestrian crossing that stops traffic in all directions.
The unit was immaculate. The furnishings. appliances, and decor are very updated, clean, comfortable and homelike. I've stayed in other units in this same building, and this one is set up differently with extra space in the bedroom and a convenient storage area/room off the bathroom with a dresser and plenty of room for all your "stuff."
But what really sets this unit apart is all of the extras that are provided. First of all, I was shocked to see that there were 2 working bikes available for our use! We usually rent bikes, so this was a bonus. There were beach chairs, towels, umbrella, toys, & coolers needed for the beach or pool, the kitchen was completely stocked with every single item you could possibly need, and there were laundry items, sunscreen and other things you may have forgotten. Suggest checking in before going to the grocery store so you aren't buying large items you may not use as I'm sure these aren't guaranteed, but it was helpful.
There is even a small desk in the kitchen which was super handy for computers and other personal items. The huge TV and all the channels accessible were a nice touch as well. We ended our days at the beach with a dip in the heated pool which was never crowded.
Lastly John was very responsive and helpful with every question before and during our rental. I would stay at any one of his units in the future based on my experience!
