Other Things to Note:
We want to be honest and transparent with you about this building. It is an old building with a lot of character and history, but it also has a few drawbacks. The units are cozy and compact, which may not suit everyone's preferences. The walls are not very thick, so you may hear some sounds from your neighbors or the street. This may not be a problem for most people, but if you are very sensitive to noise, you may find it challenging to stay here. We hope you understand and appreciate our honesty. Please, don't leave less than a 5 star review because of this.

January stay
Overall, felt like the listing was accurate. It was right on the sand, could easily walk to local restaurants, and we had no issues finding parking since it was the off season. I feel like the owners could make small changes that would improve the property, I’d recommend having at least 2 panels of curtains per window, changing out the shower curtain as it was stained, invest in a new toilet seat as it appears to have paint stains?, and consider changing the barstools out as one of the cross bars is broken and flips down if you put weight on it. There is also only 1 mirror in the property which could be an issue if a group of girls stay here, could consider adding a cheap full length mirror to the bathroom door and adding a shower caddy for storage. I did appreciate the body wash & shampoo in the shower. We loved being able to walk right out and easily lock/unlock the unit. If we were to return, we would likely not stay here again and invest in staying somewhere nicer. It is an older building so you can hear people easily. The management was easily to communicate with and we really appreciated a late check out.

We really enjoyed our stay. The roll out bed was dirty and I put clean sheets on the roll out. Is it possible that someone knocks on the outside bedroom window at 4:00 am? Thought that 3 of the nights…? Thanks again.

Right on the beach
The stay was great. A little sticky due to the humidity. After opening some windows and using the fans it was much more comfortable.

On the small side
Clean, well equipped, very tight if more than one guest with minimal drawer space. NO PARKING so be prepared to see pay $30 a day and not leave the lot. Must pay for 6 hours then 4 hours. Overnight is free.

So close but so far
The properties location was excellent and the information about parking and check in over abundant. The unit was mostly "clean" but desperately needs a coat of paint, holes repaired, sliding glass door maintained, patio swept and weeded. Shower was fixed while we stayed there but it had already caused water damage to the baseboards. I suggest taking off the closet doors and making some type of luggage racks. There is no place to put your luggage. I suggest another mirror outside of the bathroom so two people can get ready at the same time. Thanks goodness for the fans because all of the noise from unit upstairs travels very easily. We were unlucky to have a fussy baby above us. Loved that there were beach chairs and toys for use.
