Communication with the host was thorough, fast and easy. The golf course community in which this unit is located is beautiful. If you are planning a trip to this area, I can give this condo rental a high recommendation.

Poorly maintained
Our evening arrival the air in the unit was musty and stale. Mgmt was notified. We started the ac unit in the bedroom to help the situation. Next morning I was wheezing. I noticed the wood blinds in the bedroom had mold - notified mgmt, they came to clean it. Later that day, I noticed more mold on closet folding doors, as well as all doors and door jams in and out were covered in mold. After calling mgmt. again they came to clean the entire unit. Every windowsill had severe water damage. This unit has an unbelievable view- such a shame that it is poorly maintained. I cleaned the mold off the exterior of the ac, but by the mgmt’s response, the inside filter had never been cleaned or changed. We never used the ac unit again.

Hi Ann, Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear the unit didn’t meet your expectations. As soon as we were made aware of the concerns, we did send our team to clean the blinds and later followed up with a full deep cleaning of the doors, door jambs, and additional surfaces.
The property is in a tropical area, and with recent rain and humidity, it can sometimes lead to musty air or moisture buildup. We understand that’s not ideal, and we’re doing our best to stay on top of it with regular maintenance.
We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and are always working to improve where we can. Wishing you all the best in your future stays.
