I'm not too picky when it comes to my vacation rentals. I just want a nice place to lounge and crash, have a view, and maybe a pool. This seemed to check all the boxes so decided to give it a go.
The good : Lots of walkable places and/or short drive for necessities. Unit had the basic things you need in terms of cookware, dishes and soap + some extra sanitizer and face masks. Bathroom seems to be newer and lots of hot water.
The bad : There were so many broken things that it made for an annoying experience. Not enough for me to call to have repairs made while on vacation but enough to be annoying. Light over the sink flickered when turned on, I had to hit the light pretty hard to get it to stop every single time. One sofa lamp light was dangling like a loose tooth so every time I turned it on, was super careful so as not to break it and/or electrocute myself. Screen door refused to stay on the glider so I was constantly fighting it. There was an unusable patio chair upside down on the lanai with a sign telling us not to use it. Curtains in the bedroom + blinds in the living room were either partially broken or really hard to open and close. Pool was cloudy, didn't feel clean so my kids only went in it once and my husband and I never did. I did laundry once in the laundromat. The laundry machines itself were fine but the change machine was broken so I called the front desk (it was after office hours) and the woman there was really helpful and nice, suggested I call the grounds person. So I did and he made change for me but was a bit gruff and could only give me $7 in quarters, which thankfully was enough for 2 loads + soap. Overall, outside noise is loud. The windows are slats of glass and don't make for any kind of worthwhile seal so the bedroom was noisy from traffic and the living room had the booming ocean. We love sleeping to the sounds of the ocean but because the condo is on a retaining wall, there was no natural, distanced sound, it was really loud in the living room with everything closed. Didn't have a problem sleeping through that for the most part but there were a few times I wished it was a just a little more quiet. Lastly, I wish there were some beach accessories like some others condos provide, like umbrellas and chairs.
Front desk woman made it sound like they may be doing some updates so hopefully that will happen sometime soon, in the meantime, renter beware.
