I stayed at the condo for a week with 3 other friends (mix of girls and guys) and am still battling depression now that I'm back to the real world. We had an incredible time and the condo was perfect for us. We hope to get this condo again next year! A few topics...
Arrival: Getting in the apartment was a breeze. The management company Debbie uses is really good. She gave me the contact info of the person from the management company that would be meeting me. I was able to email him and we exchanged cell phone numbers so we could communicate through WhatsApp. He was waiting for us, gave us a quick tour and was on his way.
Condo: Ok, so the place new and in great condition. It looks just like the pictures, but the living room is actually bigger than what the pictures look like.....it's huge. Everything was clean, beds were made, sheets were freshly washed, etc. I can only comment on the bed in the master bedroom since that's where I slept, but that bed was comfy and didn't feel cheap. The kitchen is fully loaded with silverware, dishware, and even some basic cooking supplies like olive oil. All the appliances worked fine including the washer and dryer. The balcony is nice to have and gets a decent amount of sun, but we didn't spend too much time out there since there's the rooftop.
Rooftop: The pool and hot tub were both working fine and clean. Not too many people were ever up there so that was nice. There are a plenty of lounging chairs and beds, which reminds me, the condo comes with a bunch of towels you can bring up. The roof also has a bar/kitchen and bathrooms. Infinity pool and views of the ocean, we spent a lot of time up there.
Security: The complex feels very safe and is gated (you need a key to enter the complex itself). There is a security guard 24/7 who sits in the middle courtyard and watches the security cameras.....he's a really nice guy too.
Location: We picked this location because it's in a more quiet part of town and close to the beach. You walk 3 minutes and you're on the beach or at the end of 5th Ave. It's close to some really great and trendy restaurants, and some convenience stores. This part of town is pretty much all brand new so there are a lot of luxury apartments over here.
Negatives: Not much. There was construction across the street the street that was annoying. But it was almost done, so by the time you read this the construction will be over.
