Would Recommend If Staying On Hutchinson Island
This property is located within Ocean Village on Hutchinson Island, which is a pleasant gated community that has all the amenities and activities that one may seek on Florida's Treasure Coast, including a 9-hole golf course.
The unit itself serves quite well for a couple, with a separate bedroom, well-equipped kitchen, and convenient sitting area. There is also a screened lanai. It is located close to one of the pools in the complex. Parking is available within very close proximity. No issues with wifi connectivity.
A lively restaurant and tiki bar, with good menus, are also located within the complex grounds.
This unit does have a variety of beach and recreational equipment, which is available within a nearby (30 ft) storage unit; some items of the equipment are tired (i.e., a couple of beach chairs were broken and unusable) and could use replacement. We were able to find a couple of folding chairs for the beach. We brought our own PortaBrella - did not see an umbrella available within the equipment storage unit, although we could have missed it.
Security at the entrance to the complex and around the property is very visible and efficient.
Upon our arrival we were met with a significant issue with respect to the unit's maintenance. Without elaborating further, we can report that we were able to get in touch with the owner quite quickly to report the issue and he resolved the matter to our satisfaction almost immediately, which meant a lot to us. We believe that it displayed concern on the owner's part to ensure our stay was enjoyable. We have considerable experience with these types of accommodations; as a retired couple, we have traveled extensively over the past five years and we stay almost exclusively at rent-by-owner properties.
Apart from a few minor annoyances that we have listed above, which, based on our experience, are not out of the ordinary for properties of this type, we would not hesitate to recommend this unit.
