Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Very disappointing and misleading
First the pros: The location was fantastic. If you like being right ON the ocean surf with waves crashing just outside, it's awesome! The pictures were generally accurate and it was clean and well stocked.
Then the cons:
1) There was MAJOR construction every single day. The ENTIRE building was covered in scaffolding. The prop mgmt co said they didn't know about it/thought it was going to be done soon. It was NOT over and NOT done. Pounding every day at random times sometimes starting as early as 7:30 a.m.! And, there was a large BRIGHT construction light that was on every night on the scaffolding shining right into the unit.
If I had been told (as I should have been) that there would be construction, I would NEVER have rented it. Having to sit with the doors and windows closed due to the noise, sweltering, in order to have a conference call, was just miserable. After I complained, the prop mgmt company gave me $1000 back - a small percentage of the $6,000 I paid. Again, I would NEVER have rented it had they been honest about the construction.
2) After the 3rd day, I was so ill, I couldn't get out of bed. Finally diagnosed with allergy to mold so I had to go buy an air purifier. If you're at all sensitive to mold, be aware you will definitely need an air purifier. Mine helped a lot!
3) Apparently, the fine print on the website does say that the one balcony shown is open for everyone to use. Please note that really means that EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, there is a party 3 feet from the head of your bed until at least 10 p.m. Again, I wish I had known that I would have people who sit 3 feet from my bed drinking and eating for hours, and they can and do SEE IN TO the unit!! Very uncomfortable and weird, especially for a single woman. . The construction workers even had lunch there, staring into the unit!
