The apartment photos look pretty much like it is but it's very tired and worn with a lot of deferred maintenance. The view from that high up is fantastic. The local management is the best we have ever experienced. Also, even though it's true that it's only 20 or so steps from the street, in fact the street is very far from the beach. To walk down to the beach is over 800 or more steep steps. The inexpensive shuttle to the closest beach area runs only three times on the hour in the morning with no returns until the afternoon, and no shuttles down in the afternoon, only three returning on the hour in the afternoons, and 5:00 is the last one. There is a free shuttle to a beach that you have to pay to be at, so you're still paying. There is no place to park down there so driving is not an option. Once you get to the beach area, it's still a hundred or more steps the rest of the way to the beach. So it's important to know that it's beautiful but not a seaside house. It's a sea view house but nowhere near seaside. Once you get to the sea, though, it's magnificent and Conca dei Marini is one of the quaintest and picturesque villages you will find without the high prices and crowds of Amalfi and others.
The house is a decent size and the patio area is wonderful. Inside the house is overrun with ants so if you have a problem with that, you should be aware. The management is quick to provide ant spray but the house needs updating, exterminating and sealing of openings to overcome this. It's built on the side of a cliff so we understand that there will be bugs but this was over the top.
Everything works fine except internet. The internet is not WiFi, it's wireless from 4G outside the apartment. This is important if you need to be connected as we did for work while there -- it stops working entirely constantly.
Also, it's important to note that if you are there when it 's hot, the air conditioner is a wall unit in the downstairs and doesn't reach the upstairs at all. And there are no real windows upstairs to catch a breeze. When it's not hot, it's divine.
The restaurants nearby, especially Bonta del Capo, are fantastic. The chef of Bonta is the manager of the apartment and he really couldn't have been more responsive and nice. We would stay in a house he manages anywhere any time.
