Location and Rates for Tonight - Website We rented #603 in the Antigua condo building at 8500 Coastal highway. The building, overall, was fine. Easy check in, they have carts to help unload/load your stuff, and the elevators (2) were quick and responsive. That said, the building does show its age, and could use a fresh coat of paint (at least). The pool is nothing fancy, just a big circular hole in the ground, 4ft - 8ft deep. It's not the biggest pool, but had plenty of room for all those that want to use it (most people are at the beach, anyway). It's private and closed in with a fence, and there's a staffer outside monitoring access. No lifeguard at the pool. There's beach access (a dune crossing) right behind the building, and there's plenty of space. There's also a lifeguard stationed right there, which is comforting. The condo (2br, 2ba) itself was good, and had updated kitchen and baths. You wont walk in the place and be blown away, but you will recognize that it will serve your vacationing needs just fine. The beds were hard, and can be tough on side sleepers (like myself). It's beachfront, with a closed in balcony (it has windows with screens that you can open), and we could see lots of dolphins in the early morning.

We have been living in a condo that we own in Springfield, VA since last summer. On March 24th our condo was flooded due to the person living upstairs (a tenant, not the owner) having turned on her kitchen faucet, plugged the sink, and left the unit to go to work. The damage to our unit was extensive. We had completely renovated it last May, so less than a year. Our relatively new hardwood floors are ruined and have to be completely replaced. Other work includes replacing the dry wall, the ceiling, it goes on and on. We will need to move out next Monday and the repairs will begin on Tuesday. We filed a claim with the culprit’s insurance company, Allstate. They have issued a check to cover the repairs and our initial hotel stay immediately after the flood – the disaster recovery team installed enormous fans and dehumidifiers that rendered the unit uninhabitable for 5 days post-flood. We are now faced with at minimum, an 18-day hotel stay and the removal of all of our belongings to temporary storage for the duration. We are getting push-back from Allstate. They claim that we can remain here for the duration of the repairs. I don’t know how you can remain in a place where ALL of the hardwood floors need to be replaced. This is a less than an 800-square foot condo. I just don’t know where you push the furniture. Not to mention how it would be living here while this work is done. In addition, this has disrupted our lives greatly. I am currently spending all of my time packing up our belongings, only to unpack them in about a month. We did not ask for this and yet the Allstate agent treats me like I am hassling him. I would greatly appreciate any advice you have to offer. Even if Allstate finally does pay all of our expenses, which I greatly doubt, what about the great inconvenience we are suffering. Is there any way to be compensated for that? Thanks for any advice you have!
