**Beautiful View and Great Location, but the Condo Needs Attention**The view from the patio deck deserves five stars, and the condo is in a great location, close to local activities, the beach, and boat access. Unfortunately, the condition of the condo and the difficulty communicating with the host did not live up to the listing’s 9.8 rating.While the patio offers a beautiful view, there is no umbrella to provide relief from the direct sun. The deck needs repairs, and the outdoor cushions need replacing.Inside, several issues affected our comfort. The master bathroom shower had no hot water, and the shower control in the second bathroom was so difficult to turn that we worried it might break. The master bed was worn and lumpy—it was comfortable only as long as each person stayed in the existing indentations. The towels and pillows also need refreshing or replacing.The living room had very little lighting, making it difficult to write or work in the evening.Reaching the host to address these concerns was frustrating. The text messages we received appeared to be one-way, and our replies to emails went unanswered. Attempts to contact the host through Vrbo also did not produce a response. Calling the business directly was the only way we were able to make contact.This condo has a lot going for it, especially its view and location. However, it needs maintenance, updated furnishings, and more responsive guest communication to justify such a high rating.
