Special low rate for 2018: Direct Oceanfront: 3 Bedrooms - 3 Baths - Sleeps 8

My husband and I stayed in this condo November 10-17, 2018. We chose this condo and paid a significantly higher weekly rate than comparable condos in the area solely because of the designated covered parking spaces. Our payment was sent in on October 27. We arrived on the afternoon of November 10 to find signs on the elevators dated November 4 stating that a fire sprinkler project would begin on November 5, assigned parking was suspended, everyone was required to park on the ground and first floors. The replacement of the sprinklers on the 3rd and 4th floor parking decks took place Monday - Friday (November 12-16) 7:00 am until 6:00 pm. The ceiling of the 4th floor parking deck adjoins the floor of this condo on the 5th floor resulting in very loud banging, sawing, drilling etc. throughout the condo. It sounded like they were working inside this condo. I contacted the owner through VRBO messaging twice and spoke with her by phone once. She was unaware that this work was scheduled due to a mixup with her email address with the HOA management company. Even so, she never offered to compensate us in any way for this situation. I felt the owner showed an uncaring attitude toward our concerns/disappointment.. She told me she had it rented through April and that the condo brings in good money for her. What was to be a relaxing get away to celebrate my 65th birthday was just the opposite. We have used VRBO for years staying across the Country. We have never had an experience like this with a property or with a property owner. If this were our first time renting through VRBO, I am sure we would never use it again.

Pros of this condo: View; Organized; Clean

Needs improvement: No remotes for DVD players; No remotes to switch TV to DVD; Could use some updated DVDs; Many DVD cases empty; Many old VHS tapes; Lots of chipped/cracked dishes

We will not rent or recommend anyone rent this condo due to the way the owner chose to handle this situation.
