Awesome view

The unit is nicely furnished and the view is great. There are some minor deferred maintenance issues. I wish there would have been a broom or swiffer in the unit to see up sand tracked in during the week.

Not as pictured

This property was extremely disappointing. I feel we went at a peek time and it wasn’t cheap. The pictures listed must be old because everything is dingy in the property. The moment we arrived and looked throughout the property we noticed how dirty the walls and everything seemed. The spare bedroom carpet was so dingy we didn’t want to walk barefoot on it. The walls were covered in smudge marks and an unidentified brown smudge mark was on the closet door. We found numerous items left behind, vape and a nail kit. The kitchen baseboards looked worn and dingy. Marks all over the walls. The master bedroom fan couldn’t go above the low speed or it rocked. One of the sliding mirror doors were off and resting in the closet which made for a huge eye sore and couldn’t use that side. The bathroom tub slowly drained so we had to stand in our dirty water as we showered. As you sit on the toilet, be prepared to have your knees touch the wall. It’s a very tiny space and anyone over 6 feet will struggle. This may be ok for some young group of kids that won’t be staying in the residence long, but for our family, who doesn’t keep our home looking like this, is very disappointed. More so, because I was told management would come out to fix some of the issues but then never heard anything else. The parking is also terrible. We weren’t told where it was located so when we arrived at night, we had to drive around the property. Then to have to maneuver our large ford explorer in the awkward space. The management seems to keep up with the pool and the outside of the complex. Good location and a great view.

Quick weekend trip

The view was great and the overall setup of the condo was good. It needed a couple of fixes to it but overall a nice rental.

Dirty Unit great view

The property had the furniture and features listed. The view from the unit was great. BUT my entire family was shocked at how DIRTY and ill kept this unit was. I read a review from July of this year in which the occupants said the same thing basically....I thought that the issues would certainly be addressed before our stay in October....but no it was not. As the person in July noted the carpet was really really dirty and stained. So dirty I looked for and found a vaccum and vacuumed it. The vac was a wind tunnel type and it was disturbing the amount of stuff it was picking up. The other floors were sticky and dull. My daughter in law spilled some ice in the floor and wiped it up with paper towels which turned brown!! This was when we were just settling in. So no we didn't make it dirty. My husband and I asked for a mop from the management which they did bring by and mopped the entire unit except for the carpeted bedroom. The mop water was almost black. The shower in the 2nd bathroom had long black hairs stuck to the shower walls (none of us have black hair) and the shower liner was left dangling in the middle therefore making it impossible to close. Housekeeping might miss a hook, but not 3 in a row.....we took the liner down and rehung it. My husband and I were at this point , not shocked that the fabric shower curtain was disgustingly dirty. It had suspicious brown smudges and splotches and didn't smell pleasant. The second bedroom closet door fell on my husband the evening we checked In when he opened it to put his clothes in.....the person reviewing this unit in July said the same thing happened to her daughter!!!! WHY was this not fixed?? Someone could get seriously injured. The fabric couch and loveseat were so dirty that We spread paper towels on it to sit down. This was also mentioned in a previous review. ...We have stayed at this property almost every year for over 30 years. We were so disappointed and disgusted that this property management co. has let this unit sink to fleabag hotel standards....Lord knows they don't charge fleabag hotel rates. I noticed splotches on the coffee table and wiped it down and yeah...it was dirty too. Under the dining table I found a piece of desiccated meat and also a good sized chunk of bacon. Neither was wedged behind or under a table leg. The manager of the property said they would refund me the cleaning fee. My family and I are just so disappointed....

Beware! Don’t book 601!!!

The condition of unit 601 was deplorable. It was filthy and the furniture was stained. The guest bathroom shower does not drain and the master bedroom closet door literally fell on my daughter. Ugh. Not a good place to spend your vacation.

Great view of the beach

We loved the view and the place for the most part. The place was clean and neat. A couple things that we didn’t like were in the master the bathroom is too small. I am a 6’5 guy and I was almost hitting my head on the ceiling in the shower. And when you use the restroom you barely could close the door because of the spacing. We also were expecting like most condos to have a pullout couch in the living room and it wasn’t. Kitchen was very small and no wash room which was the worst part. Also didn’t like our parking spot because it was almost impossible to back out. When we go on vacation we like living as close to home as possible and this was a step down for sure. Wife washed clothes at the end of hallway and had 8 to 10 big cockroaches in the laundry room and some were even in laundry room. This is obviously not the owner of this suites problem but it does affect the property as a whole. Once you get into the place and relax it’s definitely nice but those were our big takeaways from this place and we travel a lot. Hope this helps someone.
