The check in was super easy. The property has carts to use as well as huge bags of ice in a vending machine. Heated swimming pool is really nice and the board walk has showers to rinse off the sand. Also of note: the windows and doors on the outside of the property are study and sound proof. I give 5 stars to the property.
Now for the actual condo: The view from the higher floor is spectacular, straight on view of the water. The inside of the condo welcomes you with a nose full of mold smell. Not just beach smell, mold. We searched for the culprit and found the ceiling above the guest bath was covered in mold and the drywall was falling in a little. (Kids refused to use that shower.) I contacted the owner who claimed he had just been there and had the building management fix the leak from above. We did not call him back once we found the other leaks and dirty conditions . We figured if he was just there, he knows how dirty it is.
The master bath behind the moldy shower also had standing water behind the toilet, could be from the water source that was molding the ceiling but the toilet was also dripping.
The kitchen was well stocked for cooking but the dishwasher was old, very noisy and the bottom drawer was missing wheels.
The place sleeps six, but only if you use the pull out sofa. Sofa was very dirty, stained and has never been cleaned under. Opening up the sofa bed revealed so much trash. Gross.
The master bed was super soft (like ‘don’t get in it alone- you might need help getting out’ -soft) Once you sink down into the mattress, the fitted sheets come off revealing a dirty, blood stained mattress pad. It was chilly in Nov, so we pulled out the extra blanket from the closet and was also dirty and stained. Master bedroom has 2 windows with tons of light. Curtains were falling off the second window, so we didn’t open that blind.
Bathrooms and living room all has A/C vents with more mold that I’ve ever seen. Not sure it’s ever been cleaned. Ceiling fans were covered in dust.
The best part was the night before we left, we ran some laundry since we were only half way through our vacation. Washer works, but dryer heating element doesn’t work, so we had run each load through the dryer 3 times before they eventually dried.
We have stayed at more than a dozen or so properties all over the US. This one takes the award for being the dirtiest, but also the best view.
