4/10 Poor

Bill Q.

Fair

Location was great. The beach was beautiful. We have rented units in the clearwater besch/sand key are for close to 20 years. This unit was the most disappointing. VERY hard to use the pool due to construction which from talking to owners has been going on for over a year and will continue possibly another year. The owner did not tell us of this and he knew this remodeling was going on for the last year. Elevators were out of service on some days, sitting by the pool was like having a root canal with all the jack hammers, cement saws, hammers and yelling construction workers. Residents were all complaining. We should have been told of this. We rented this unit because it had a pool, couldn't use it between 9am and 4pm. The unit itself was ok. Living room looks updated from the 90's, but kitchen and bath need some work . Very clean except for corners were old tile is.cut my toe on a broken piece of parquet flooring that was broken. The pull out bed is aweful. We both were forced to the middle no matter were we started which is great sometimes but other times geez..then getting out of the bed is like climbing out of quick sand. You sink in the middle and have to dig your way out. If you have any mobility problems not the bed for you! I have bad knees and it was all I could do to get out of this bed. Overall well stocked except for sharp knives. We ate breakfast and lunch at the cindo and cutting stawberries and cantelope with a butter knife was interesting. Very well stocked with beach towels and beach chairs. Balcony was lovely, new chairs. We had a nice week overall other than not being able to use the pool very often (which we paid for) and having to have my husband sleep in the club chair and me on the couch all week. Both our backs were kIlling us. Location was great view was great. Will not rent from this owner again due to the deceit

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Dec 2020
I should have responded earlier to this review but i did not want to feed into the negative feelings of this couple. I take full responsibility for this. Most of this is a mute point at this stage of time but let's break it down. The building went through an update of the balcony's that face the gulf,completion date Febuary 1 2017 The construction company were finished at that point,they found other parts of the buidling in need of repair and since all the equipment is already on site our board decided to complete the extra work,this is where the mis communication came into play from our onsite manager and the unit owners,she never sent out a email that further work was going to be performed. If I would have known that I would never have rented the unit,it was not a matter of deciet,if this guest would have called me during the week I would have gladly refunded his money and offer a another free week of his choice. I always try to offer extra day's on the front or at the end of someone's stay at no extra charge. Not alot of reviews due to most of my guest's are repeat year after year. As you can see from my photo's the unit is updated with a Queen size bed,new flooring through out unit,bed is from Room and Board,high end quality furniture store look them up,not to be mistaken with Rooms to Go in Florida,not as good quality. Kitchen Stainless Steel Appliances,new counter tops,bath updated also. Nitpicking-he knew the bed was a Sleeper Sofa,which has been replaced with a Stationary Standard Queen bed,the one he is talking about is not the current one. The floor,his luggage broke the floor stubbed his toe,have a handy man,could have come over and fixed,if he would of called me instead of complaining,that floor has been replaced. Brand new Kitchen -Aid knives were there,not sure what that complaint is about. As the Guest stated very well stocked,nothing is missed,I take pride in ownership. Future updates will be replacing some furniture from Room and Board. Location and view is spectacular,balcony is awesome,extends four and a half feet from the building. Our building is very nice,pool,security guard and in garage parking. If you ever want to talk to other guests for references,let me know. Thanks Scott 952.210,8543

Great Stay!

I so enjoyed my time at Sand Key and Harbor Light Towers! The condo was nice...just what my family needed! The view from the balcony of the pool and ocean was just gorgeous!!!! The pictures on the listing really don't do it justice! And the owner Scott was so easy to work with and communicated so well with me. I would definitely book this condo again for my next trip to Sand Key.
