We had a nice week in Sunny Isles, FL. Here is my impression of our stay at Ocean Reserve. The apartment itself was very nice. The living room and kitchen area are newly updated and very modern. While the bathroom has been updated somewhat, we found the bathtub/shower is in need of updating or at least in need of some attention. All the caulking both inside and around the tub/shower is badly in need of replacing. It looks old and tattered and is getting moldy. The shower curtain is a cloth material rather than vinyl/plastic and also shows signs of mold. Overall we liked the apartment and so I mention these issues more as a recommendation to the property manager. Speaking of which, AYP Rentals was great to deal with. We had a small issue with the kitchen garburator backing up, but Andrea was on it quickly and the issue was resolved. We loved that the unit had beach chairs and an umbrella and thoroughly enjoyed the proximity to the beach.
The building itself, Ocean Reserve, is an older building and while the lobby has been updated, some of the other common areas such as hallways and gym need updating as well. We happen to be there during a very busy week with many young families celebrating Easter/Passover and so the pool area was very busy with young children, so perhaps not the best location for a couple looking for a relaxing atmosphere. Again this is no knock against AYP Rentals, more just about our own experience at Ocean Reserve. I would be happy to rent again with AYP in the future but perhaps choose one of their other more upscale buildings.
