I stayed here with family in mid-August. The place is just as pictured, clean, spacious, and the kitchen was well-stocked. The welcome gift basket was a nice touch!
The property is located in an area of townhouses, and is a short walk to the beach. All you need to do is cross the roadway, and walk a few hundred feet down a right-of-way path that runs directly next to a group of townhouses. If you're lugging a bunch of stuff, you'll still need a cart or wagon. One was supplied with the unit.
We also used the pool at the Beach Club. Access is super easy, just walk up the ramp, turn toward the beach and the entrance to the pool is on your right. The pool area was decently sized. We found that the best time to go was early in the morning, or late in the afternoon. I believe the hours were 9 to 6. Midday it got pretty crowded. The pool is a fair distance away, so you may want to consider driving. We rented a golf cart for the week.
Parking was easy. This particular unit is assigned the outside parking lane, which has enough room for three vehicles, parked tandem style. Vertical clearance was sufficient for a Ford Transit passenger van. There is also an exterior outlet to charge a golf cart, however, it is up high to keep it above the base flood elevation. Fortunately, I was able to climb and balance myself on the piling cross bracing, but it may be worthwhile for the unit to include a step ladder to get up there.
The unit was really clean and nicely decorated, the beach theme matching the surroundings.. There is a decent sized deck on the back that overlooks the pond, which had a lot of resident turtles. The ocean is readily visible from the deck, though the view of the beach itself is obscured by dunes. .
Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which is a life saver when you're traveling with teenage daughters.. In terms of cookware, the selection was good. No grill, and the required setbacks would put you in the street or turtle pond, but this wasn't an issue for us.
I don't expect vacation rentals to be perfect, and we ran into a few small issues near the end of our stay. Our contact, Margie, was super responsive, and very understanding.
Overall, there was plenty of room for all nine of us. The kitchen made a great gathering space, as did the rear deck, but there was plenty of room if someone wanted some privacy, or had to take a work call.
This was a really good stay. We hope to be back again soon.
