I have been renting from VRBO exclusively for years and I can say this was the dirtiest property I have had the misfortune of paying money to use. Only reason we stayed here was because we decided on a last-minute trip for the long weekend and the only other rental with our criteria had several mentions of roaches. I can see why this rental and that rental were the last ones available.
The floor was so dirty, our feet were black after an hour. I wish I could post pictures to show the damp paper towel I used to wipe around the kitchen area, a perfect black handprint. The sheets were stained, there was gross yellow crusty stuff on the bedroom comforter, hair stuck to the door in the bathroom, the toilet looked like it had gotten a wipe down and called clean and just to top it off - a complete big toenail clipping on the balcony right in front of one of the PVC pipe made chairs.
The "gates" in front of each door slammed so loudly you could hear all your neighbors coming in & out at all hours. And for listing this as sleeping 5 people, I don't know how that's possible. Two people in the super squeaky queen bed, one person in the U-shaped twin bed that sits on garden bricks with no center support (I WISH I could upload pictures) and one person, maybe, on the hardest futon not classified as a sidewalk for a total of four, MAX. Sitting on the futon was uncomfortable enough without it triggering a sneezing fit from whatever allergen was on it.
The property is completely outdated as you can quickly tell by the Golden Girls era furniture and décor in the lobby. We arrived after hours and were told at the door to check in with security and come back in the morning. The building has nothing to do with the rentals. They are there to collect to the $30 parking/amenity fee only. And by amenities, they mean a milky overly chlorinated smelling (and you know what means) crowded pool in which hardly anyone had the required paper bracelets on, laundry room that's seen better decades and gate codes. The pedestrian gates were unlocked all 4 times we tried them, and the main gate stays open long enough to let multiple cars in with one code entry.
The final straw was when we realized the balcony door latch did not work. The door does not lock. I called the first contact to complain about this safety issue & got no answer.
2 stars only because of location; across from the beach & Walmart is across the other street and the female security guard was super nice.
