Peck's Plaza and this unit were wonderful properties for our family's get-away for some R&R and beach/sun/ocean therapy. The unit specifically offers unobstructed, panoramic views of the ocean and a northeasterly vista of the Intracoastal. Both sliding glass doors can be opened to let in the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves and allow for an immersive experience without even setting foot on the beach.
The pre-historic-looking pelicans fly past the balcony often at eye-level, and we were treated to a pod of dolphins making their way north, feeding and frolicking not far off shore.
The condo has been extensively renovated and is decorated in pleasing blues and whites with wonderful wall art. I especially loved the blue swirling granite countertops that are the signature pieces throughout. The black leather couch and loveseat offer four electric recliners on which to lounge, and there are plenty of fleece blankets to curl up with. The beds are comfortable, and the showers feel luxurious.
The air conditioning works better in the main living area than it does in the bedrooms. That's something I would gently suggest the owner work to improve for optimal sleeping comfort in the summer months.
The unit was a little smaller than our family of four (with twin 12-year-olds) usually rents, so the combo dining/living area and kitchen were a little tighter for us, but still very doable. The kitchen does have limited counter space and no real empty cupboard for storing groceries, but again, we made it work. The appliances are very nice, and there wasn't a kitchen tool I found missing.
Interestingly, the completion of this Peck's Plaza property in April of 1974 made it the tallest, direct oceanfront property on the entire Atlantic seaboard. It offers a wonderfully heated pool, hot tub, tennis and basketball courts, shuffleboard, and other amenities, and is perfectly positioned for access to the beach. The property also feels very secure as you need to physically have the electronic key to access the building and the pool/beach. Although we did not eat there this time, there is a high-end restaurant with spectacular views on the very top (28th) floor.
Overall, this unit and Peck's Plaza property are wonderful, and I would definitely rent here again.
