Sisters' Weekend Getaway
First of all, the location in the Historic District is excellent. Easy and safe walking opportunities, yet located off the major roadways. A quiet and safe neighborhood, near restaurants, Flagler College, and the Lightner Museum. The downtown parking garage parking pass was a much appreciated bonus! We had a very enjoyable 3 days.
The condo itself is lovely. Very attractive. Large screen TV's in two rooms; internet was great. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen is up-dated and well equipped. However, the building had apparently been recently flooded, so the downstairs hallway had a distinct mildew smell; the upstairs condo was much better, but still slightly evident. If someone is sensitive to this, it would be a good idea to explore this in more depth with the owner/manager.
Our stay coincided with a Super Moon which happens a few times a year. The high tide came in and flooded the road and sidewalk in front of our building for approximately 2 - 3 hours every 12 hours. What a surprise that was. The water was quite deep, and the neighbors were able to give us very valuable advice; they told us not to drive through it unless we took the car to a car wash right away. We were totally safe the whole time, and our parked car was always dry. We used a local tide table to plan our day around when we were able to drive in and out of the parking lot. This does not happen every month, but it would be worth checking out.
