Maris Stella Inn

Would Not Stay Here Again Ok, the good parts. Clean coffee pot. There was a full-size fridge and freezer. The view from the deck to the ocean was pretty good as well. Now the bad - they had base board heat, and we could not get it to turn off so we ended up having to open all the windows, so we did not cook to death on the top floor. The love seat was uncomfortable and stained and the pull-out bed from it was a joke. The pull out was broken at the bottom and they tried to fix it by cris crossing two metal wires and duck taping them to the frame, which did not work. The queen size bed was lumpy and very uncomfortable. The oven and stove were filthy. There were no towels or dry rack for the dishes so we ended up using bath towels to dry the dishes. The sliding glass door to the balcony, the seal is broken so all you could see was condensation in between the two panes of glass and a bunch of mold at the bottom. There was no screen on the sliding glass door. There was only one screen to one of the windows in the bedroom, and even that had a hole in it. There were stains all over the carpets and made you to want to wear shoes all the time. The shower head did not work well and the shower insert had mold growing where the two pieces met. Bring an extension cord or you will have to move the microwave from the cupboard to the table with the coffee pot and no room to eat a meal at the table. The pictures of this place are not accurate at all. Broken smoke detector hanging from wires.

Room is for young people Website didnt mention the 49 stairs up to the room. Shower head very cheap and held on by masking tape. Shower curtain liner wasnt waterproof so flooded bathroom floor. Microwave and coffee maker are in the closet. No counter space. But an amazing view and Deer in the parking lots a huge plus.

You get what you pay for The property was not well maintained inside. It was fine for just the 2 of us for a couple days, bed and couch were comfortable, but there was a lack of attention to detail from the cleaning folks (tops of fan blades super dirty, track of sliding glass door was gross, TONS of sand swept under the rug) and things were in general disrepair (strange drywall work in the closet, showerhead duck taped, dead batteries in remote, clocks set wrong, ancient appliances). Its great if you are just needing a place to stay, but it your looking for particularly nice or fancy accomodations, this is not your vacation rental. Although the price should have clued you in. The hot water heater is tiny, only enough for one person to have a 10 min shower. We are generally not very picky people and we would stay here again if it werent for the electricity output from the outlets being so poor we could not charge anything while we were there. Husband had his phone on the charger all night and it only went up 10%. Could not charge anything else either. We need GPS to get home, so the electricity thing is kind of what did it for us.

Near the beach The condo was clean, and generally is reasonable condition. Beds are very uncomfortable. Main floor bathroom door does not close (pocket door with no way to pull it shut)

Overall, it met my expectations. Better views than expected of the ocean despite buildings. I had the top floor. The unit needs an oven vent. I love to cook and set the smoke alarm off. Opening the deck sliding door solved this issue. Luckily it wasn't raining. The shower could use a handheld shower head. My biggest issue is the check in/out process. Not hoh/deaf friendly. They should allow texting or emailing for this process. My advice to future hoh/deaf customers to contact them ahead of time that you will be texting or emailing the check in/out process. I probably will not be back to this one given the rigid check in/out process and the 5 pm check in time is quite late. Even 4 pm would be much better.

At first, there is no ocean view or hair dryer as they promised. Second, our condo was furnished with thrift store, including dishes. Mattress wasn't comfortable at all. Third, there was strong urine smell in a living room. And last, they charged much more than they supposed to. For this amount of money I could have a much more comfortable hotel room nearby without so many rules and limitations.
