Clean and conveniently located
Clean, convenient location - close to beach, stores, restaurants, adequately furnished although livingroom furniture wasn't very comfortable. Kitchen had enough cookware/tableware, but the dishwasher didn't latch even while running, so you had to really push it shut or it leaked. Don't expect management/maintenance to show up for anything you call about. They will only come when you're desperately trying to enter the house with the ridiculous 10 digit code they give for entry. Despite the negatives, I'd still stay here again.

Great location; stingy on supplies
Location and condo where great; really liked the complex and it was family friendly. However, condo unit lacked basics to make a week stay for a family of five efficient. We had only five forks for the week. Half the drinking glasses provided were small baby food type jars. We had to buy additional toilet paper and dishwasher detergent, and there were no potholders/ oven mitts to use with the oven. In addition, there were no instructions on how to use the TV and the remote that was provided did not seem to operate the television.

Disappointed
On the surface it looked average, but considering all the repair and safety issues. I can’t rate higher than two and should rate it a one. When we arrived there were several light bulbs that were burned out, when you opened the dishwasher it tilted forward flopped onto the floor, the patio doors wouldn’t lock, the coffee pot was cracked and there was very little hot water. We notified our contact of these issues, the coffee pot was taken care of right away but it took seven days and several emails before the light bulbs, water heater and the dishwasher were dealt with and then only partially. The dishwasher needed to mounted to the cabinet which it was and the latch needed to be replaced. We left on the 31st and the dishwasher latch hasn’t been dealt with yet. We ended up wiping up the water on the floor every time we used it. We asked them to fix the latches on the patio doors. Their solution was a stick in the track to block opening the door. I had already done this. Doors still aren’t fixed and by the way I took my dowels with me. There is also no strike plate on the deadbolt for the front door and there is only about a quarter inch of worn and weathered wood holding it in place. There are also shorts in the wiring for the porch lights after the bulbs were replaced they would flicker on and off several times before they turned on. There is also an uncovered outlet in the second bedroom. There were other minor issues like the clip for the internet cable was broken. At the lightest bump you could lose internet, the stove light was burned out, we ended up washing all the dishes before we used them because they didn’t feel clean, the drain lines under the downstairs bathroom sink have a dirt build up and don’t appear to ever have been cleaned. After the poor response to our initial requests we just gave up on expecting them to repair the rest of the problems. We left at least four texts, nine reminders and two phone messages to our repair contact and never received a response on either. Not only was this property is a state of disrepair, their response to our requests was slow and in some cases completely ignored. If we could have afforded it we would have left and found other housing but unfortunately that wasn’t an option. I am quite disappointed that the vetting of these properties was not more through.

Overall a great experience
The grocery store was down the street, beach was 2 blocks away, condo was clean, but if there is a complaint, bring blankets, house was cold and there were no blankets. Also dryer did not want to turn on, had to play with it a bit and the dishwasher is not bolted into the cabinets, so it tends to fall over anytime you add a dish. Small issues, nothing to change our trip or a return visit. Thank you for the opportunity to stay.

The property seemed weel maintained and the management of the property was very active
Nicely positioned and the accommodations were better than anticipated. We found out after arrival, the motel rentals were much lower and probably a better value since we visited off season. Other than paying double the cost of a motel, we were satisfied with the stay. One issue, we were called within less than an hour after arrival about the property management complaining about us parking a boat in one of the two assigned parking places. There was no mention of this in the literature describing the property. As it turns out, the condo president was informed and he stated that there was not an issue with the boat. It would be nice if the property management were informed on parking regulations. I thought I was going to need to rent another property after driving seven hours to stay there. MSCox 09/10/2018
