For the money I spent, the location was very good. The condo does need some maintenance, however.
First let me relay a couple of good experiences:
1) The large non-stick frying pan that was in the kitchen was terribly warped and much of the teflon scraped away. NorthBeach Realty supplied a brand-new frying pan in the box with no argumemt.
2) There were several issues with the cabinents/hardware in the condo: Management called in a handyman and most were fixed (not all) the next day.
a) Utility closet (where the brooms and vacuum were kept) had no handle. Not fixed.
b) Almost all of the outlets were worn/loose and need to be replaced. Some did not work at all.
c) At least one of the bedside lamps did not work at all. Tried different bulb and diff outlet, no difference.
d) The so-called "free activities" were just discounts available elsewhere like in local coupon books. Was not impressed by the conditions required to actually get that "free" stuff. Either make it a bit more special or exclusive to the renters or don't bother.
e) The place wasn't stocked super well. For the amount I paid, thirty or forty dollars to cover a pack of scrub sponges, sufficient paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent and dishwashing liquid won't break the bank and would be well-received. Otherwise it's just more stuff we have to buy.
Great location. GREAT location. NOT beachfront, but close enough, and has a decent view.
