Maybe Too Picky
The condo is very nice, has everything that we needed and the extra touched provided by the owners were much appreciated. This is the third time we've stayed at Island Colony. We like the location and the amenities which is why we chose the complex again. Having said that and if I am to be totally honest, here are a few things that we felt were not as good as we expected. First, the bathroom is in desperate need of some minor work. There is mold around the caulking which should be removed and new caulking installed. The floor grout needs a good cleaning - bleach usually works the best. The shower door and tracks need a good cleaning with CLR or something similar. While the fixtures and trim are pretty old, they function just fine - no complaints there. Lastly and this one is beyond the owners control, what used to be a condo complex is now more of a hotel than a vacation rental complex which was disappointing. The building was never designed to be a hotel meaning the pool area is too small, there isn't enough elevators and the clientel has definitely changed. There are now a lot of families with lots of kids running around. The elevators are in constant motion and the wait times can be long. The check-in which used to function nicely is often packed with people mostly because the setup isn't geared for large numbers of guests arriving at one time. Again, these changes are certainly beyond control of the owners of the unit we rented but we won't be back.
