The property was more dated than the pictures depicted. The inside needed some attention. The master toilet kept flushing on its own, which kept me up at night. The master bed was SO hard and didn’t breathe, so any part of our bodies touching it got hot. Gnats were present in the kitchen sink and found a roach in our room. The sliding patio door wouldn’t open. Not sure how you walk to the beach, but the clear path said no El Cortez visitors, so there must have been an alternate route.

Awful apartment

Not only the description wasn’t acurate, it says it was newly renewed and it wasn’t. All the metal parts in the house were more than rusty and all the kitchen drawers were old dificult to open and need painting. there wasn’t enougth dinning ware or cutlery and the existing one was so old and dirty. The bed sheets werent complete either and the bathrooms were really old and dirty. The neiborhood is lovely and property management really responsive.

Run down

This property needs work. Front door looks terrible, so first impression was bad. TV had a black line running through it and the ROKU remote wouldn’t work. Entertainment center had a broken shelf. Patio door wouldn’t open. One of the trim beds had a janky frame. Mattresses need maters covers. You feel all the fabric bumps on the mattress. Like a cat sharpened its claws. There was ONE roll of toilet paper for 2 bathroom apartment. Not that we would have gone thought it, it having a roll per bathroom is standard. Broke lamp you had to unplug to trim off. Outlet was behind a dresser. There was a nightstand in the master that had no outlet behind it. I pulled out on of the chairs at the breakfast table and a rods fell out of the chairs back. No coffee. Toilets will run if you don’t adjust the handle. Wanted to sweep up the sand we were bringing in, but there was no broom. It was just an overall unsatisfactory stay.
