I have only one description for the owner of this condo, a used car salesman. My family stayed here March, 2022 - after the “recent remodel” and we’re on and off very disappointed.
I would not describe this place as peaceful, clean, or completely updated. It’s RIGHT ON the A1A so road noise is a real issue. It could use a thorough cleaning and many repairs. There are many things broken, including light switches, fridge, peeling cabinet doors, dishwasher, bed frames, paper lamps, and the black chair (which the owner claimed was fixed in a previous review). There also was no hair dyer as claimed in the listing.
It is, however, right on the beach, which you know only if you walk outside to the back of the building. We enjoyed being so close to the beach with our kiddos, but I do wish we could see the beach and not have all the road noise inside.
My greatest complaint with our stay is the lack of communication/kindness with the owner. My husband and I personally have a few properties listed with Vrbo and I couldn’t imagine treating anyone who stayed with us the way this man treated us.
During the course of our stay there was MAJOR construction. I mean: jackhammering from about 8am until about 4pm DAILY. I realize this isn’t a forever thing, so hopefully in the next year that isn’t an issue. It’s the way the owner handled this. It’s in his listing to say something similar to, “18 month renovations occurring beginning June 2021.” But I notice now that has been changed since my complaint. Anyway, It doesn’t tell you that the game room isn’t usable. It doesn’t tell you that the washer/dryer isn’t available - which by the way there is only ONE for the ENTIRE building. It also doesn’t tell you about the excessive construction noise you will deal with. When I asked the owner about this, because I had a two-year-old who struggled to nap every day and a seven-year-old who couldn’t play in the game room as planned, the owner literally just responded, “it was in the description.” That’s it folks. No. I’m sorry, but what we dealt with during this stay was NOT in the description nor was it brought to our attention before we arrived. I can deal with the painting and on again/off again inability to enter the building during certain times because of the painting…. But the rest? That was not something to have subtly mentioned.
I will never return here. Even when the construction is done. This owner should not be in the hospitality.business.
