Not Quite the Relaxing Escape I Hoped For
Booked this condo for a spring break escape with my adult daughter and our Yorkie—mama needed a break from the entrepreneur chaos. Location? Perfect. Walkable, beachy, pet-friendly. Inside? GORGEOUS, just like the pics! That balcony was my therapist. Aesthetic: 10/10.But the moment we pulled up, I knew there’d be plot twists. No exterior photos in the listing? Now I see why. The building looked like a motel that got evicted, found Pinterest, and rebranded. Gave “we used to charge by the hour” vibes.Inside, the noise was next level. Upstairs neighbors hosted a concert, daycare, and stomp team all at once. Thin walls, loud everything. Meanwhile, the downstairs kids were throwing full-on screaming tantrums—sounded like they were trying to wake the dead and their parents. I reached out to the host—she was very kind, mentioned quiet hours and security—but I wasn’t about to spend my trip as hall monitor.Then came the cleanliness. Extra blankets were covered in hair—both human and canine. My socks turned black from the floor. And the finale? An Oxycodone pill by the living room trashcan. If my dog or someone’s baby had found that first? The story would’ve ended very differently.We made the best of it, but this unit is a pretty face in the wrong location. Beautiful? Yes. Quiet? Absolutely not. Lesson learned: next time, I’m booking a private home where the loudest thing is me popping a wine cork in peace.
