Enjoyed our stay

Our condo was small but nice and well appointed. The only complaint is that construction was going on that we weren’t aware of. When I brought it to their attention, we were given a 30# discount, which was fair and appreciated. Nice pool but it was a long walk to the beach.

Lovely

Our unit was nicely furnished and clean. The appliances were great. I’d bring chairs and good bug spray. The walk through the sea grass is brutal with spots of standing water where mosquitoes are abundant. Access in and out is easy with a code on a keypad.

The condo was alright, just as pictured from the listing but wished we knew the beach was farther than it appeared on the booking. We had a 1 month old and was not prepared for the longer walk.

Beach

Nice location. Condo was clean but had some damage to some of the furniture. No towel bars at all in master bath so no place to hang wet towels even for a shower. The bed in the master was terrible and the mattress sagged very badly.

Disliked: Check-in, communication

Poor communication

First of all, poor signage of office location and overgrown greenery hiding entrance. Should have sign before you enter gate of where office is. Had the manager not been in parking lot, we would have had issues finding office. Main bathroom was dirty. Construction dust not wiped out. Blackness in tub. Not scrubbed. Master bath shower door does not close all the way. This caused water to soak bath mat and floor. In all of the multiple emails and texts and written instructions, no mention of needing a gate code to get back from beach! Thank goodness we met resident coming out who gave us the code. We would have been stranded! Multiple emails and text messages stating check out! Even the day before- very annoying and quite insulting. Never have stayed anywhere where we felt that we were being kicked out. On Saturday late morning/early afternoon a housekeeper just let herself in. No knocking at all. Was startled to find out we were in unit. Said we were not on roster and didn’t show us checking in until Sunday. Very strange because she stated she was there not to clean but to bring one kitchen towel there. There was a basket full of kitchen towels. She reeked of cigarette smoke and unkempt appearance. Very unsettling. Again, we are seasoned VRBO users and have never had anyone come into condo or house during our stay. Never had the multiple emails or texting about checkout either. Also, no issue with taking garbage out but to not have warning that you needed code to get back through walk through gate from dumpster. Not happy with management.

Overall we enjoyed the experience.

Parking a little confusing, once figured out it was fine. The place itself was adorable. Quite a few stains on the couch and duvet cover was full of sand that’s the only negative about it. Thank you for providing a nice weekend for my son and daughter in laws anniversary
