This is our second stay in this unit. First was a week in August, this was a weekend in April.
Assawoman is the best strip of OC. Convenient to everything but quiet.
Great layout for entertaining, quality furniture and finishes, comfortable beds, very clean, easy check-in/out, quick responses from owner.
Our only issue was the AC. I get it if you're in a budget rental, but when you pay extra for a more comfortable experience it's disappointing when there are unreasonable limits to save a few bucks.
At check-in the thermostat was locked on heat only. The owner promptly switched to AC, but still wouldn't let us move the temperature below 72.
The problem is because of the season, the temperature hovered technically just under 72 so the air didn't kick in much, but it was very humid from rain and there was no airflow so it felt incredibly sticky and muggy the whole weekend.
I was told it was "extreme" for me to set the AC to anything lower than 72. Even setting it at 70 would have made a world of difference and the AC would have kicked in and dehumidified.
We did the best we could with opening the balcony doors, but because of the layout of the building there is no way to create cross-ventilation so it didn't do much.
This was not an issue when we stayed in August because it was always hotter than 72 and the air was always on.
If you're selling a premium product at a premium rate, understand people at that price point expect to not be nickel-and-dimed on basic comforts.
