Need to be honest on your reviews because last Spring show 4.8 but until August we noticed it change
We weren’t comfortable sleeping on the beds. My son and his fiancée wouldn’t sleep one of bed because of stain plus spider crawls inside. It’s so embarrassing! I don’t think the housekeepers wash it! Too hot upstairs even the fans are one. Thought the rooms were big even the pictures show can be fool us. We wouldn’t stay there again.
The washer button didn’t work. You’d have to push hard to start the washer. The place wasn’t as clean as I’d hoped. I watched the cleaners in and out of the other units and they rush in and out. Doesn’t seem like they have time to do deep cleaning. The outside shed with “beach accessories” smelled so bad and was so dirty, I was so glad I brought a carload of things of our own and didn’t need anything because that was so nasty I wouldn’t of used any of it. The pool gate didn’t work, so no point to having a code. Just a little left to be desired. The place itself I’d say could’ve used some games for family down time but other than that it was as it looked online.
The host never replies to any message you send them. Also, there was a dead rat on the patio right next to the patio we had. One door was only held on with 1 hinge. Walls and ceiling had big spots of big guts or something on them. Windows were filthy so you couldn’t see out and there were dirty dishes in the dish washer. It was also said to be close to the beach and pool and it was not. If toilet in the house you had to hold the handle down to flush it.

We were under the impression that the beach was outside the back of the condo. We had to walk quite
The condo was clean and cozy. The refrigerator kept freezing my milk, juice and food even after adjusting the temperature. We purchased garbage bags for the kitchen trash can as there were only 2 for the whole week stay with 4 people. Purchased more toilet paper and paper towels as well.
The condo worked OK for our three golfers, but the condo shows it's age and the pictures need updating. All kitchen appliances have rust and need replacing. and updating. The carpeting very old. Floors upstairs creek, bathrooms need complete updating. Mattresses in two smaller bedrooms need to be replaced. TV extremely hard to operate with YouTube TV. No TV in master bedroom. If my wife was with me, she'd walk out immediately!
