Don’t expect a good nights sleep
This was not our best VRBO experience. Our family booked this loft for one night prior to catching our cruise ship. PROS: As far as location, it was very convenient. It was right up the street from the cruise port and there were lots of restaurants within walking distance. My children also enjoyed the arcade games. CONS: upon arrival, the check in instructions were very unclear. It just said to put in an access code to the key box, but failed to mention there were multiple key boxes at this address and it needed to be the one labeled “guest”. Made it kind of stressful and didn’t hear back from the host when we messaged them. As far as cleanliness, like another reviewer said, the floors were dirty and the walls/baseboards were too. But the most concerning thing was I couldn’t tell if our bed linens had been washed. The towels smelled clean, but the linens did not. The sheets were paper thin and the “coverlet” was also paper thin. As far as sleep goes, this loft is located on the first floor and all walls/ceiling are, like the linens, paper thin. All night, we could hear the family above us footsteps and they brought their dog so it was running across the floor all night, not to mention woke us up 4 times barking. Then before you leave the checkout instructions ask you to “not leave trash in the loft” but give no explanation as where to dispose of it. This place has a lot of potential and improving the aforementioned items would make it a better experience.

Great location for cruisers
We used this location for a quick overnight stay to catch our cruise ship just blocks away. Great location! Kids loved the arcade games. Only issue was the check-in. There are multiple doors so it's kind of confusing it should be clearly labeled to avoid any confusion. I know it is not the fault of the owner but the upstairs neighbors were so loud running back and forth until about midnight. We could not fall asleep until after then because it was loud and annoying. Not sure if it also used as a VRBO or those people live there but just be aware it is a possibility.

Great stay, and some useful info
Overall we had a great one night stay prior to our cruise boarding the next morning The location is outstanding, very close to the cruise terminals The kids (ages 6/5) were crazy about the foosball table and arcade games. They loved the 3 level bunkbed Check in was difficult - the door at the listed address is not the correct door to enter the property, it is a local business entrance. Thankfully, although it was 9 PM, when we texted the property manager we heard back right away. The correct door is 3 doors to the right (after other street numbers, follow the VRBO arrow), with a master lock box labeled “Guest” The two bedrooms have open ceilings, so if light/noise is a concern the arrangement isn’t ideal. We turned the lights off and stopped talking when our kids went to bed There is a large step off at bathroom entrance if you have any concerns about mobility/access. I forgot about the step the first time I left the bathroom and stumbled We ran laundry next door after going up a flight of stairs. The machines were free to use (not coin operated). Check out requires you to run the dishwasher, take out all the trash, pile towels in the bathroom. We couldn’t figure out where the trash receptacle was, so that would be useful check out information to have. Street parking is free from 6pm-9am, and then is limited to 2 hour parking between 9am-6pm (so we left before 11am), check out is at 11am in any case. We would stay again!

Cute place
The flat was really cute. Perfect for family of 4. Location was walking distance from The Strand and a short drive to Pleasure Pier and the beach! The only issue for us was the back door It would not open. Maintenance came out to open it but once you lock it, it doesn’t open again. That is my only complaint. We will definitely stay there again. Hopefully the back door will be fixed.

Convenient Stay!
Such a cute and cozy place with excellent proximity. We had a 1yr old so noise on the strand was a concern but we still needed to be close. This spot was perfect! A few noises from the apartment neighbors who have to walk up stairs but no one was out late or overly noisey. House was well equipped for a short stay.

Great location!
Positive notes: great location, close to bars, restaurants & The Strand (walkable). Roomy for the 4 of us. Game room was a hit. Cute decor. King bed mattress very comfortable. Could be improved upon: although the apartment reeked of bleach when we arrived, the floors were not clean (our socks were filthy within a couple hours), the corners of the bathroom also needed some serious attention. Triple bunks mattresses extremely uncomfortable. Was required to remove trash at checkout but there were no trash bins available. Had to call BeachBox Rentals, because the emails I received would not allow me to respond to them, to report the bleach smell and a fire alarm that was constantly beeping. The agent was friendly and did let us know the beeping was from an apartment managed by a different company. It was terribly annoying. The listing said free parking but the check-in email said paid parking only. The listing also said washer/dryer, hair dryer and bikes. The bikes were locked and there was no hair dryer or washer/dryer. Please print out instructions for the A/C units as they were difficult to figure out. Paint the chunks of peeling paint in the bathroom. Vacuum the tufted ottoman’s to remove the small chunks of food. We did have a good time but wouldn’t stay there again unfortunately.
