Room was clean and comfortable.
Spa and shower were very loud.
Would have preferred a room facing the water rather than the back off the building.

Wonderful getaway!
Outstanding view and beautiful apartment, can't wait to be back!
So happy, so relaxing and just perfect, if the converter heater worked it would have been even better.
The converter heater didn't work, it was quite cold…

Questions about The Waves Apartments

What time is check-in and check-out at The Waves Apartments?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Waves Apartments allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Waves Apartments?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does The Waves Apartments have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does The Waves Apartments have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book The Waves Apartments?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
