This was hands down the absolute worst unit we have ever rented at the Beach Villa's and we have been coming here for over 10 years. We have stayed in many units in the Beach Tower and have never been so disappointed. Steer clear of this particular villa. Prior reviews are positive, but seem to mainly focus on the overall resort, not this unit.
Clearly this villa has not been maintained well by the management company, Beach Villa Realty. In addition to a major issue we had with water flooding the kitchen (water was pouring out of our ceiling from the unit above us like a waterfall) we unfortunately had many other issues:
1. The unit dirty upon arrival - not cleaned well/sanitized upon arrival*Dishes and glassware were not clean - they all had a strange film on them - had to be rewashed by hand *Bathroom drawers were filthy - liners were clearly never removed for cleaning of drawers between guests - had to be cleaned by us upon arrival*Fans were covered in dust/dirty with poor performance*Outdoor furniture: cushions were stained and absolutely filthy and the furniture itself was very worn*Pull out sofa was disgusting - food and dirt all over the mattress and mattress pad - it was unusable*Very dirty ceiling vent in kitchen
2. All bathroom shower faucets were awful - did not work well
3. Dishwasher did not work well and smelled very moldy when first opened and even after wash - we ultimately ended up handwashing after every meal
4. Smoke alarm in master bedroom beeped a very loud and high pitch beep daily - sometimes during the day, sometimes at 2am.. Very startling and us and woke us many times. Our request for assistance was ignored by management company.
5. The dryer was INCREDIBLY inefficient
6. The twin bed headboards are rickety and make a ton of noise when someone gets into or out of bed
7. Dining chairs are worn and need attention - many are wobbly and missing bolts - we had to tighten two ourselves
8. Island counter stools are also very worn and drag very loudly when pulled out for use
9. Many of the curtains don't work properly and some of the windows don't shut/lock properly.
10. No blankets for the pullout and futon (only sheets) - we had to purchase additional blankets.
This unit was was sub-standard at best. There are better units out there - read the reviews carefully and really look at the images on the VRBO posts.
