Sand Dollar 2 -Ocean Block

Location was great and we had a beautiful view of the ocean!

The property was nice. Overall we had a little bit of an issue with one of the toilets inside and the couch was definitely on its way out, but other than that, it was great.

- It was close to the boardwalk which was very convenient. - The AC / fans worked well and kept the apartment very cool.

- The host messaged us the incorrect door code and we had to call to get the correct information to get inside. - There was already sand on the floors when we arrived, so seemed like it wasn’t cleaned (at least well) before we got there. - The chair in the living room area was broken / unusable and the springs in the couch / the frame in the middle were broken. - ANTS in the kitchen and in the bathroom that’s partly outside. - Thorns in the bunk beds. - The people who were in the unit upstairs definitely didn’t follow the quiet time hours outlined in the message from Host. They were yelling and playing LOUD music until 5AM. It woke us up in the middle of the night multiple times. - The toilets stopped flushing half way through our time there and we had to figure out how to get them to work ourselves.

Location

Unsafe back stepd

The location was great. It is in a prime location. The unit is an older unit, but most of the OC stays are in older units that need upgrades. I booked a 3-bedroom, 2 bathroom unit, assuming both bathrooms were inside. I did not at all expect the second bathroom to be separated on the porch? It's hard to explain. When you open the patio door to go into the unit, there is an enclosed outdoor space, kind of like a hallway that leads you to the actual front door of the unit. Anyway... In that hallway space to get the front door, there is an open sitting room on your right with no furniture, and on your left, a full outdoor like bathroom. Be prepared for that. My kids did not want to use that bathroom. It was too seperated, hot, and randomly placed. Lol. We ended up only using the bathroom inside the unit with us, which was a little disappointing because I paid for 2 bathrooms and only used 1. I have a large family. It would have been nicer to have 2 indoor bathroom options for the family. As you can imagine... Now that we were down to 1 bathroom, it caused a lot of delays with showering, getting ready, etc...Besides that the unit did the job. The beds were decent. Couch is sinking in deeply in the middle. Bring everything you need because they truly dont supply much. They send you a list of what you should bring for a reason. Pots and pans aren't the greatest. Didn't feel the cleanest. There were ants, but I expected it. Parking is free and in the back of the house.

The second bathroom is not advertised as an outside bathroom separated from the main indoor apartment. People should be told.

N/A

One of the chairs was missing rubber feet and scratched the floor - the toilet in the main bathroom had already been jeri-rigged with a key ring and ceased to function altogether just before we left - the air vent in the hall and closet need a good cleaning (your guests are breathing that stuff) - couldn't get the ceiling fan in the living area to work - the microwave needs to be replaced - there were no coffee cups in the kitchen and there should at least be a broom available.

The location was perfect

First off, the house needs to be updated! It was very dirty. The floors look like the haven't been mopped. The furniture is very old and dirty! There was a hole in the wall in the middle bedroom with a paper towel in it! The living room had a paper plate on the wall that had been painted. I guess to also hide a hole. The bench on the front porch had peeling paint. When you stood up, you had paint chips stuck to you! It says there are 2 desinated parking spots, one out back and one in the front. Not true! The out front parking is for anyone. We will never stay at this place again!! Horrible!!!! If I could give it a zero, I would! And there were Ants all over the house.
