IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT THE AC and HEAT:
Do not run the Air Conditioning or the Heat with any doors or windows open or cracked. Doing so causes condensation and the air vents, duct-work and air handler will sweat, the compressor will freeze up and the system will shut down. It is not likely for an HVAC company to be available in a timely manner during the hot weather season. So, please keep the doors and windows closed all the way at all times. BUGS of all sorts will also enter the condo if you leave doors or windows cracked. Please respect my property. If you want to hear the sound of the ocean then please go outside and completely close the door behind you. Thanks in advance from both me and my future guests (who will be expecting a functional air conditioner).

PEST CONTROL TREATMENT SCHEDULE:
The entire building is treated on the 3rd Thursday in February, April, June, August, October, and December. Pest Control arrives on site at 9 am and no exact time of arrival at this condo can be given. They have a key so nobody needs to be present to let them in. They will ring the doorbell, knock and announce themselves loudly before entering the condo. It takes them about 5 minutes to treat the unit and they will lock up when they leave.

SANITATION INFO:
* Cleaned with hospital grade disinfectant. Linens laundered and sanitized in hot water. No air fresheners or perfumed products used during cleanings.
* Contact free Check in/Check out

* Must follow all posted pool rules. Entry into the pool area is gained by the same gate card that you use to enter the front gate of the complex. Hours may vary without notice. Pool Season is "typically" May 15 - Oct 15, but those dates can vary. (Pool is most always open for the season Memorial Day thru Labor Day.) Use the pool at your own physical and health risk.

Location and ease of beach access are excellent! Very clean as well. The sliding door still has no lock but that didn’t bother us. This is our 3rd time staying at one of Jean’s properties. The only comment I would make, which others have noted as well, is the couch is very uncomfortable and the decor probably needs a bit of updating. Otherwise a lovely stay.

Check-in and checkout were very easy. Jean was very good to work with. We had no issues with anything during our stay. Beach access just steps away from the elevator. Highly recommend.

We couldn’t have been happier with this stay! Our host, Jean, was friendly, responsive, and nearby if we needed her. All check-in and checkout instructions were very clear. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was comfy, and we appreciated the extra blankets as I think we picked the coldest week of the year to visit! It was incredibly quiet and cozy. And the beach views and access was exactly as pictured!
