Beach Bae -Deco Studio Steps from the Ocean

5 min from beach, staff very friendly, the room is quiet itself. Property close to bus stops but around 1h ride from downtown. Has small kitchen with all you need except for mugs. Free toiletries in the shower. Some restaurants nearby. Publix is 10 min walk. There were some swimming gear(mask for underwater swim and small paddle board) that was nice. Also an umbrella

Has induction cooker that didn't accept existing pan, thus couldn't fry, only boil. Wifi is quite weak - couldn't even send a picture. Duvet didn't have duvet cover - instead it was between two sheets and was uncomfortable. The worse thing was that once i discovered a dying cockroach on the floor when i went out of shower, it was huge! The same i saw in the building hall as well, also on the floor and dying. Not sure where they came from, but was super scary. Must be that there are some in the building. Hadn't seen any after that, but didn't feel safe thereafter. In the morning sun was shining into the window and woke me up, curtains helped but not totally. Also there was some noise from the street sometimes and woke me up. The aitrcon kept making suttle but constant noise even being off.

Very clean. Instructions on how to get in and out were simple and in the VERY FIRST email, I received. This is an old building with a strong moldy smell, but the unit was modern and perfect for our short stay. It is a private studio unit and not a hotel. Fully renovated and very clean. Across the beach and with plenty of places to eat. It was very clean with an amazing and very comfortable mattress. Clean and fluffy towels. I appreciated the kettle and the Keurig, but there were no coffee or tea mugs. Not a big deal, I used the glass. The AC was nice, but we were not able to make the ceiling fan, which looked very nice and new, work. The remote seemed working as light up when pressed, but I couldn’t figure it out. It has 2 individual closets with hangers and drawers. This is a studio for only 2 people, no more.

Even though I received several emails after the booking, I wish there was a contact email or phone number to reach in case of anything, but I guess if you read and follow the instructions will do it. It is more a gesture of making it more personal and giving the guest the sense of welcomed.

Location was excellent!! Very close to the beach and many restaurants around. Great communication with the host, she answers quickly.

Everything was great but the apartment was a little bit tight

The location is great, right by the beach as described in the listing

tldr; There were a few major issues, and the management, while sounding polite, didn't do anything to help us. There was a bug issue, multiple dead and live bugs showing up in the kitchen and bathroom area. This included cockroaches, which is a deal breaker for me personally. When contacted the management replied that they scheduled exterminators - and that they will show up *after* we leave. We were very close to moving out, except for the lack of availability of accommodations in the area for that same night. The overhead lighting lighted up on its own at random occasions, including during the night while we're sleeping (happened 1-2 times on 3 of the 4 nights we stayed). When asked about this, the management asked for "a video" of this - as if I should wait in the dark for hours until the thing randomly lights up - instead of sending the property manager immediately.

Location is perfect. Every day I bought Starbucks coffee or another one and went to the beach ) There are many shops and restaurants. Good room with useful staff: soap, shampoo, gel, coffee (respect from me), oil for grill and etc. I like feedback on each our questions, I think it’s important and show that owner takes care about guests.

1. Workers, every day they woke us up at 08.40 with very noisy sound. I came to them and explained that’s impossible to live like it everyday. they started to be careful. It’s not a bad point for this apartment but this information can be important. 2. Unfortunately, we met cockroaches 🪳 Hmmm.. This is big problem. Could be because of these workers under the room.
