Wonderful family beach trip!
We had a wonderful time at the beach, and staying at San Carlos with family. This is a very nice and clean condo that had plenty of room for our family of 8.
We experienced some minor issues upon arriving. One of the three elevators at the condo wasn't working on the first day that we arrived so we had an abnormally long amount of wait time. The problem was fixed the next day, and the elevators worked fantastic, and fast the rest of our stay. Also, we couldn't get the condo to cool after we moved everything in, but after a quick phone call to Pat & Craig the air was up, and running again in no time. These issues were out of the owner’s control, and were handled promptly. Pat and Craig were both very easy to work with throughout the booking/questions/minor problem process.
Just as an F.Y.I. - We never could get the icemaker in the freezer to work properly. It would make ice, but apparently the arm lever is messed up, because it never automatically dumped the ice (we just bought bags of ice). Also, the shower in the kids bathroom, and the shower in the master bathroom never got hot. The water was warm throughout our stay...just not hot. The shower in the front bedroom and the Jacuzzi bath in the master bathroom did get hot so we just improvised.
The TV in the living room is fabulous, and was a big hit. ALL of the beds are very comfortable. We also loved the porch furniture (more seating than originally expected)...which was a big plus for us...since we enjoy sitting on the balcony at night.
We loved that we were within walking distance to Sea N Suds...which has always been one of our favorite restaurants. It’s a very casual, friendly atmosphere...with great food.
We didn't cook very many big meals so the few pots & pans that were in the kitchen worked just fine for us, but keep this in mind if you plan on cooking a good bit while there. There was plenty of reusable plastic containers, though, which was very nice (we’ve never stayed at a condo that provided them so they really came in handy for leftovers/cleanup). We were able to make good use of the Margarita Machine, which was very easy to use. Plus the kids liked having plain shaved ice to munch on or with their drinks (non-alcoholic of course).
Bottom line is that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we would definitely stay at this condo again.
Thanks Pat & Craig for sharing your wonderful condo with us!
