Oceanview & steps to the beach, game room, pool-in popular Ocean Drive-walk to shops and cafes

We enjoyed our stay. Easy access to the beach. Nice clean friendly neighborhood. All the amenities of home. The arcade game was a huge success from everyone aged 3 to 51. It was aggravating to have to keep up with a physical key for entry and exit to the property. We had four keys, but it was still a hassle. I would highly suggest to get the keypad working so everyone would have access without wondering who has the key and where is the key. I would recommend this property!!

Property was in a good location and the area was quiet. Parking spots were to small.

Easy to rent, hard to get accurate info on the property. One bedroom is down, and four are upstairs. 2 full baths are down stairs and three are upstairs. Check in was at 3pm. Condo was not ready. Waited an hour to be given the keys after 3pm.

The location of Coconut Grove is nice. One mile from OD and just across the street from beach public access. The size of the bedrooms was okay. The beds were soft but all of them "crunch" when you sit on the side. The listing is misleading - no where does it mention that the condo is two stories, PLUS, regarding the statement "5 BR 5 BA". There was no description of how these 5/5 were laid out, so one might assume that each bedroom had it's own bathroom. Nope. Two of the bathrooms are on the 1st floor, along with one of the bedrooms. The two king rooms have private baths, but the other two rooms upstairs have to share a hall bath. I found it interesting that the listing has NO pictures of any of the bathrooms. The game room is actually a large area at the top of the steps, separating the king rooms from the other two BR's, but it was fun to play the video games. Laundry room was large and convenient upstairs. The kitchen is galley style and very tight. Pictures make it appear more spacious than it really is. It was stocked fairly well and we didn't really find that we needed anything that wasn't in there. Living room is big, but furniture is fabric and could use a thorough cleaning and deodorizing. Balcony off the living room is a good size and plenty of room for the whole family. But PARKING.....oh my goodness! We were excited to get 3 parking spaces....until we found the 3rd space was a wee bit larger than a golf cart-sized space. VERY tight for a Mazda 6 mid-size sedan. The other two spaces are together with a huge concrete pillar on the outer sides, making it hard to get in and out of the vehicles unless you pulled out before anyone got in them. Overall, it was just okay, especially since we didn't book until about 8 weeks ahead of time, when most other options were already taken. I think we'll start looking much sooner next summer to avoid possibly getting stuck with having to choose this property again.
