The listing stated an ocean front 2 bedroom apartment, sleeping 6.
To be fair, the "apartment" had obviously been renovated, was clean, and was literally 20 yards away from a public entrance to Crescent Beach.
However:
1. The listing could have stated that the apartment building was actively being renovated, so as not to be surprised with the trucks, noises, and construction tools/debris.
2. The current appearance of the building and grounds is very unappealing. Our first impression was "this can't possibly be where we rented, can it?"
3. The "apartment" itself actually has one private bedroom with a second bed in the common/living area. There is a sleeper sofa, but it has a tight fitting slip cover over it and due to the very small size of the common/living area, its hard to imagine it being opened or the "apartment" actually being able to comfortably sleep 6.
4. The "apartment" would more correctly be described as a 1 bedroom, bare bones, minimally equipped efficiency unit. The photography of the rooms is deceptive, the rooms are not as large as shown.
5. There are no direct views of the ocean from any window. There's a wall of windows in the common area, but they look down on a small parking area, entrance to the beach, and back of a closed and boarded up restaurant.
6. The listing shows a beautiful balcony area with sofa, chairs, and a high top table. However, its not attached to the "apartment", its actually a common area on the second floor landing. Additionally, the furniture is very worn, rusted, and uninviting. Lastly, a section of the safety railing isn't even attached to support structure, its actually held in place by 4 cinderblocks, 2 bricks, and a countertop remnant.
7. Due to all of the above, we left early, not staying the number of days we had paid for. The only reason we rated it a 2 versus a 1 is how accessible and beautiful the beach was.
