My wife and I are not very picky, but there were a lot of things that were not great. Don't get me wrong, the beach is nice, the view is nice as well, but the other problems outshine the fun in a way.
1 - There is NO elevator and this apartment is on the third floor, so be ready to go up and down the stairs a lot. They are in the process of adding an elevator, but it's not even close to ready.
2 - There is a serious problem with the air conditioning. I can't expect most people to understand the problem, but I know a lot of you will feel it. I own an air conditioning company, so I would know. It did not matter if you set the thermostat to 72F, 71F, 70F or down to 68F, the place will simply NOT COOL. They need to find a competent company in town since this is not an "obvious fix", I wasn't about to fix the air conditioning unit, nor were we going to have a company come in to tell us the unit was working "OK", I already know how these things go down. Prepare to be hot.
3 - No night stands... Are you serious? We understand the place is small, but the weird cabinets they put next to the beds are not helpful at all, we have never been to a house/rental/hotel where night stands were not next to the bed, as a matter of fact I didn't know how important they were until you didn't have them. There is an iron table on one of the sides of the bed.
4 - Yes, I know... this is petty, BUT in this date and age you almost cannot afford not to have a smart TV (Access to Hulu, Netflix, etc). The TV in the living room didn't have it, so we were "Ok... that's fine, the one in the bedroom has the feature for Netflix", well, nope. It technically worked with these apps, but we tried and tried and couldn't get it to work (I'm very proficient with computers), so if you are planning to binge on some show you will be out of luck.
5 - The couch. I am only 5'9" and when I sat on the couch I could barely keep my legs in. As mentioned in some other reviews, the couch was rather dirty and not great to begin with.
6 - The refrigerator is ancient, it will make a loud noise every so often. Yes it works, but come on.
The tub is "squeezy" when you stand, bathroom door keeps half closing (very annoying).
I UNDERSTAND that people are trying to make the most amount of money with the LEAST amount of effort (investment), but a place that you are paying GOOD MONEY for should be in better shape, you CANNOT only rely on the view. People get lazy, and that's not right.
I could go on and on.
