We intended to use the buildings amenities such as the beach access, the gym, and the pool. The beach had lots of trash washed up, graffiti on the surrounding walls, and a warning sign that the water could be contaminated from sewage? Pool chairs were unkempt and there was construction all around the pool area and backside of the building. The gym was very small and crowded at time but useable. The building was gated from the main road and had two security guards. Parking was out front and easy to locate. The unit was as advertised. Some minor flaws included lack of outlets near the bed and none in the bathroom. It was fully equipped with all you could need kitchen-wise. It was clean, bright, and spacious. Part of the draw in booking this place was the in-unit washer and dryer. We were disappointed to find out it was broken upon arrival. We packed for the trip anticipating we’d be able to wash our clothes. The host sent a long introductory message which could have easily included letting us know the washer and dryer was broken, and/or included that information in the VRBO description, to make people aware before booking. The in-unit booklet did mention the apartments laundry room which required us to then, buy detergent, locate an ATM to get out cash, then have to break the cash into smaller bills, to get tokens to operate the washer/dryer. It cost 5 for one wash and dry. The dryer didn’t fully dry our clothes in one cycle. Not the end of the world, but a hassle nonethel
