The property looks exactly as the photos show, and it was clean. Most importantly...it was clean. Except for the couch and recliner which were dirty from age and wear. We threw a sheet over them for the stay which made us feel better.
Very updated decor (except the couch and chair), great location, easy walk to the beach--very easy walk to the beach. Not much of a view. Being on the first floor, the trees have the ocean view blocked so you are mostly looking at the parking lot. The grounds and pool area were clean and well-kept too.
Now for the bad. There are serious issues with the drains in this unit. The dishwasher was displaying an error when we arrived. We could not clear it. The repairman came the next day and cleared the drain, but we were not confident that he had actually fixed the problem so we chose not to use it. The shower drain also had major issues. By the time our shower was finished, the water in the tub was more than ankle-deep. (Another reason we weren't confident the dishwasher could be used.) For this reason, also, we were afraid to use the washer since all drains were probably connected.
Much confussion about the living room curtains--or lack of. There is no privacy. NONE AT ALL. What curtains that are there are sheer and only cover half the sliding door. Anyone in the parking lot or at the public beach access can see in. We hung sheets. It looked awful but worked. We also had to hang another sheet over the bedroom window because the gaps on the sides of the blinds were huge. Anyone walking by could see in easily. (My husband needs the owners to know that the blinds should have been hung inside the window frame, not on the outside. That problem can be fixed in five minutes.
If the drain problems are fixed and the privacy issue was fixed this would be a 5-star unit.
More confusion-- we arrived after the Vacation Time office had closed, so they emailed us a CODE to a dropbox at their office which contained our CODE to the condo. This made no sense. Why could they not just email the code to the room? This process really needs updating. There was no reason to make us go to the office.
