We picked this spot because it is beachfront and has a gulf view. Also, there are no contaminated elevators or public stairwells, you drive up, park and walk in. We spent the first hour cleaning, not that it needed it, but because we were a bit paranoid about the COVID lingering. Once it was sanitized we had our own little bubble to enjoy.
It was easy to get to the beach and easy to stay away from other people. The beach was lovely. The location was nice and extremely easy to get to. We brought all of our own food and drinks from home and regrettably, we didn’t go to any restaurants or grocery stores as we normally do, because we were warned ahead of time that the local community is very anti-mask.
On the day that we arrived, property manager informed us that there was going to be an appliance delivery during our stay and this really stressed us out knowing that delivery people were going to contaminate our COVID free bubble, but the delivery time was missed and never occurred while we were there. Hopefully that loud, squeaky washer/drier got replaced with a new one.
There are two bikes that were locked up on the bike rack for use, but they are girl bikes and they were not in the best condition. Also, Not really great for big guys. There is a bike rental about two blocks away, but none of their employees wore mask, so we avoided that business and chose not to bike.
Yes, as others have stated in previous reviews, the kitchen faucet drips, the coffee maker sucked, the sliding door was extremely difficult to open/ close, there was no screens on any of the doors, the TVs are older.... but we didn’t care, we really enjoyed our time being next to the beach.
On the positive side, the bed was really comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed (except for a good coffee maker), the bathroom was nice, the couch was good and there are two lounge chairs that are perfect to pull out on a clear night and gaze at the stars.
We highly recommend this place for anybody who is high risk and needs a socially distant vacation at the beach!
