A very important fact is that this is not “waterfront/oceanfront” except as a technicality. The property is on muddy tidal pool that was always just mud during our entire stay (morning, afternoon, evening). There is no “harbour view” or “ocean view” or "beach" so this is a misrepresentation in the listing that should be rectified to avoid disappointments, like our family’s.
Note that this is a basement level apartment, underground from the back and though it is above ground from the front with a nice porch overlooking au natural forest garden, the largest room, the living room, is completely windowless, dark and depressing. The house is also close to the highway so despite the birds we heard, there was constant humming of cars in the background so not a rural feel.
Cleanliness was OK but some surfaces we wiped turned white napkins black and the dishwasher filter was quite dirty so more attention to detail is needed. Bedrooms we got were small with one night stand so one of us had put stuff on the ground at night. Bathrooms need some shelving to put your clean stuff on it. Some reviews mentioned children noise upstairs. We heard a bunch of that too but it did not bother us much as we like kids though people expecting serenity may think otherwise.
The unit is decent size, kitchen has basics, but it was quite pricey compared to true oceanfront hotel accommodations overlooking sandy beach in town, where we will stay next time.
