The overall experience was just ok. We love the beaches and atmosphere of 30A. And we loved the section of 30A this condo was located. But that’s about where the good ended.
While we were there, the dishwasher never worked. There was actually a puddle of water in the bottom that wouldn’t drain. We reported the problem immediately, with no resolution after three days. At that point, I told the owner not to send someone out, we would just deal with it. We didn’t expect to have to do dishes by hand the entire time we were on vacation. In addition, the kitchen is not well equipped for cooking. There is a lot of old stuff and things are mismatched and hard to find.
The description for the condo mentions that it is a top floor unit, but be aware…there are 34 grueling steps to the top floor with no elevator option.
The description also says ‘steps from the beach.’ While that is somewhat true, the beach you are ‘steps from’ has very little public beach space and no chair rentals available for this condo property. We had planned on renting chairs, so to find out a few days before the stay that the beach where chair rentals were available was 400 yards away (and that was just the walk down the street - though there is a cart shuttle available for this portion) was a little disappointing to say the least. But after the 400 yard walk to get to the condos leased section of beach, there is another LONG and DIFFICULT walk through the sand, around the dunes, just to get to the chair attendant, then find your chairs. It was truly exhausting. The beach was beautiful and peaceful and not crowded, but not nearly as close as described.
The most disappointing part was the overall cleanliness of the condo. The floors looked and felt like they had not been cleaned. There was dust everywhere. The under cabinets in the bathrooms were dirty. The couch was dirty. We just never felt clean. I actually spent the first night cleaning as much as I could just to be comfortable.
We actually left vacation a day early because it was just not what we had expected when we rented the unit.
