Upon arrival we did not find the unit very clean. There were potato chips on the porch floor. The crock pot had baked on food still attached to its walls and the ceiling fans were covered in dust. Then, a couple of days later my daughter found Disney paraphernalia under the bed in the second bedroom. Also, the closet doors in the second bedroom fell off the tracks anytime we used them. And even though the granite counter tops were nice in the kitchen, it would have been nice to have overhead lights in the living room or main bedroom. The ceiling had cracks. The old wooden doors were loud. And the screens in the fifth floor windows were so old that I could not let me kids near therm when the windows were open out of fear that they might fall. There was no parking permit to be found and the security guard was only there a limited amount of time to give us one. And not knowing his hours we were at a loss as to when to catch him.

Therefore, due to finding more and more little things that were not up to our expectations and the weather limited our view ( the only thing this condo has going for it at this point), we decided to leave early and stay in a hotel the last four nights.

It is a great location for a condo. The view of the gulf are fantastic. But so much work needs to done on the inside. The things that need to be changed, fixed or updated can be done. You can't change the view and after some time and effort in updates this condo could be a winner.
