ALL RATES 20% OFF IN APRIL! ONSITE GOLF COURSE! SHORT WALK TO BEACH!

After driving for 14 hours anticipating the excitement of a much needed vacation, we arrived to a worst condo we've ever rented in Florida. Our adult children and grandchildren were then on their way down for their first time on vacation with us (another 14 hour drive with a 6 month old and 6 year old) and they arrived to the biggest disappointment also. COMPLETE FALSE ADVERTISING. HOW HAVE YOU NOT BEEN SUED????? There was no glass walk in shower, no elevator, no beautiful furniture, no high speed connection, no view, no beauty of a kitchen, a broken dryer (which we found out they knew about but did not tell us) and it is the opposite of looking like a "decorator magazine." The service of Best Beach Getaways (which is who you get when you reach the MANAGER on this VRBO website) is the worst I've ever encountered. Once they knew we were angry, the whole tone changed. Same as the other past renter comment above (which wasn't there before we left--or we would have never rented it). The furniture was so gross we had to go to a store and buy blankets to cover them so we could sit down. We had 2 towels and 2 washcloths in each bathroom FOR A WHOLE WEEK! And then of course found out the dryer didn't work, so we could not dry our clothes. Had to dry them in the sun then got yelled at by security telling us we had to take our clothes off the outside railings. Tried to get more towels--Sandpiper Cove doesn't manage that condo. So no service from them for anything you need. Plugged in the lamp in the children's room and sparks flew out of the outlets and the lamp blew up in my hand and the place smelled like an electrical fire. STILL--NO ONE WOULD HELP US. We had 8 light bulbs out--no spare bulbs, no spare anything. The window in the Queen Bedroom was covered in plastic and taped up so you couldn't see out. The condo was on the second floor and it was advertised as HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE WITH AN ELEVATOR. So we had to tote a 6 month old baby--stroller--baby seat--baby--all our stuff up flights of a hot stairway. You were lucky to get 2 drawers in your dresser that worked. The refrig door handle was falling off and the appliances were so old. The blinds were missing slats and falling off. All in all it was the worst vacation ever--and Best Beach Getaways could have cared less. They were rude, hung up on us, and did not want to hear from us. The manager--which we have the name and number of--should be ashamed of herself for letting this happen.

I don't know what condo this is a description of but it isn't accurate at all. First of all, there is a newish washer/dryer-the dryer didn't work. We had to dry our clothes on the patio. The kitchen appliances(except for stove) were probabaly at least 20+ years old. Fridge was in terrible shape and dishwasher was ancient! The couches in the photo look nice but were so gross we put a blanket down to sit on them. I've seen better furniture on the curb-no kidding. The review says there is a walk in shower in the master-we spent seven nights there and all I saw was a tub with a kinda gross shower curtain. The description also mentions something about the views. The back side is right on Gulf Shore Dr. and the front faces a parking lot. There was so much noise in the master! There is a speed bump right beneath the bedroom window with a loud thump everytime someone drove over it. It is pretty far from the beach and not close to any one of the pools. On the positive side, it is a large condo with plenty of space. If someone would do a little work on it and replace the skanky furniture and appliances, it would be a nice place to stay. Almost forgot, if there is internet, we couldn't find it on five different devices.
