6/10
We loved the location of Seaspray, but this unit was outdated, in need of some repairs and dirty. In most printed documentation, the management company is firm on the check in time due to thorough cleaning in reaponse to Covid. Floors were dirty, hand/body smudges on walls, mirrors and glass, kitchen sink a little dirty, dust bunnies and clumps of hair found in one room, yogurt/milk-stained dining chair cushions, dining table glass top had smears, and clothing found in drawers from previous guests.... just to name a few cleaning concerns. The weather was not great the first day or two, so it was not a great start to vacation recognizing all of the cleaning issues. A little difficult to relax looking and thinking about it. However, most high traffic areas were clean and the unit smelled refreshing when we walked in though. We liked the layout of the unit and rested well once we got over some of the cleaning concerns. The unit was also outdated with peeling paint, trim work, and decor. Some of the furniture on the deck had a sign (I assume from a previous guest) stating safety concerns. The unit had all the kitchen supplies that we needed to prepare our own meals and snacks all week. A couple extra trash bags would have been nice but we made due with all the extra grocery sacks we acquired.
Once the weather improved(and we did some cleaning,), we really enjoyed ourselves and started to overlook some of our initial concerns. The location is wonderful! Even though a couple of days we had to avoid jellyfish, we loved the beach. We found full sand dollars and beautiful shells, we saw dolphins a couple of days and swam with some sting rays too.
On Tuesday the Blue Angels had a scheduled practice and it happened yo be when we stopped at Wal-Mart for some supplies. Perfect place to watch their practice. We also saw a couple of jets fly by our balcony a day or two before their scheduled practice. Fun!
Overall, it was a wonderful vacation because of the great location. We liked this part of the Emerald Coast because it was pretty low key, beautiful, and convenient. If we choose to stay in yhe Perdido Key area again, we would not stay in this unit again because of how unclean it was. Also, I feel like I have had better luck booking from actual owners rather than property companies. If you don't care about cleanliness, a few needed repairs and updates and only want the accommodation based upon location...then this place is for you.
