Off-season was a mixed bag

We recently stayed in a 2 bedroom ocean view condo at High Pointe during the holidays and thought there were some good points and some not-so-good points.
The good stuff first - the view of the beach from or condo was amazing, the condo was comfortable (average), it had all the conveniences you could want for a family holiday (washer/dryer, full size refrigerator, dishwasher, etc) and the location was nice -- within walking distance to small shops but quite a ways from traffic or any real noise.
The bad - we were told that the city had deemed their beach access "unsafe" recently so it was being redone, which meant you had to meander your way around the High Pointe property and then through an adjacent property instead of using the regular access. Also we were quite disappointed that since it was off season the normal umbrella and beach chair service wasn't provided; you could see down the beach in both directions where other properties were providing this service as normal but staff in the High Pointe office (next door) refused and couldn't care less since we "booked through a third party". Finally, the condo had some maintenance issues (many), which were addressed within 2 days of notification -- there shouldn't have been so many and it shouldn't take 2 days when the parking lot was empty during this low season stay...
