Not What We Expected

The property is definitely aged. The condo itself needs updating. The shower and shower head are 1970s in the master. We didn’t get the proper information upon check-in and no one at the rental management company ever called us back. We had to email maintenance to get all of the proper codes to get in and out of the building and public gates. The wrist bands (which are huge in kids and get lost easily in the ocean) which are free at other places, you’re charged $25 per wristband that is not left there. Very very cheap of management group and owners. We will NEVER stay here or use this beach property management company ever again!! So disappointed…especially after paying a PREMIUM for the room.

Beautiful facility, lacking amenities and bad communication.

First the good. Gorgeous view from the balcony looking out over the ocean, TV in every room, 2 pools, Beatufil grounds, fun candy shop close by, ample seating and sleeping areas, water toys. Now for the heads up. Bring your own toilet paper, dish soap, dish detergent, paper towels, coffee filters, laundry detergent, and cleaning supplies to clean kitchen surfaces. Ironically, there was a very small bottle of shampoo, soap, and body wash in each shower. Don't expect clear or timely communication from property manager. We were not told about needing to supply the paper and cleaning supplies until we asked why we had less than a single roll in each bathroom for a 7 day stay. When we asked about other amenities in the listing they either didn't know, had incorrect information, or ghosted us. Our dishwasher display panel was missing and the dishwasher is coming out of the cabinet. Our toaster was missing, and the property manager first insisted it was on the counter and then asked if they could bring it by sometime when we were out. They never came. We toasted in the broiler and the stovetop. We communicated all of our concerns before leaving a review and got no response. A lot of these issues may not have been as stressful had we had accurate information (like knowing the supplies we needed before paying to Uber to Walmart to stock up for the week), or if our property manager had communicated with us or fixed issues when we communicated them. There are other minor things, not terribly comfortable or well arranged furniture, not a lot of information about local places and interests, or incorrect information. The tiki hut had inconsistent hours and the drinks there aren't great, but the staff there are REALLY sweet (get your drinks from the bar at Backporch instead). But these wouldn't have dampened our vacation spirits much at all. We did have a good time and we enjoyed ourselves.

Beautiful view but disgustingly dirty

This condo had the view I wanted for our vacation. The location, resort pool, private beach access and proximity to the beach were perfect. Check-in and check-out were both easy. The condo is roomy and well laid out. Unfortunately, it was disgustingly dirty. The living room fan has about six months worth of dust on it. The air vents were all full of dust and black spots that resemble mold. The master shower had many, large black colored mold spots in it. The floor in the master left dust all over luggage. The dryer took about 3 cycles (3-4 hours) to dry each load. The dish washer is missing the plate that labels each button, so it was a guessing game as to which cycle was what. The ceiling and chandelier over the dining table were covered in dust and some webbing was also present on the lights. The master bed itself was noisy and TERRIBLE! I paid $3500 for one week to sleep on a couch. The management company took two days to respond to my cleanliness complaint, so I had to go through VRBO to dispute. I’m still waiting on a resolution for that. If basic cleaning isn’t occurring, I doubt they’re truly disinfecting to reduce Covid spread. It’s a beautiful condo but badly needs updating and a deep clean. Bring plastic ware because we ran out of utensils daily. Also, this property doesn’t offer beach towels and with the dryer situation, I recommend you being extra.

The only issue we had was the pool and beach bands were not left in the room and we had to wait until Monday afternoon to access the those areas. The location is perfect and the beach was beautiful! The second heated pool was great!
