The unit we stayed was very spacious, high quality, lots of sleeping room for our family of 7. The common area grounds were immaculate and very well cared for. Access to the pool and beach was very convenient and neither was crowded. We enjoyed the peace and privacy that the condo afforded us over what we would have had at a resort. The kitchen was very functionable with higher end appliances. The owners provided enough good quality beach towels for all of us to use. We felt very safe and secure for our first time not being at a resort. The owners even provided us with a brand new playpen for our youngest grandchild, which was very much appreciated. While this unit was clearly a quality build, it is in dire need of some basic maintenance as follows: the air conditioning system probably needs cleaning because there was a foul order coming from it almost every night, the dryer doesn't vent to the outside, causing a lot of humidity and condensation, the seal on the fridge wasn't working properly, causing water to build upon the below the vegetable bins and spill onto the floor, the bathroom door on the main floor was held on with 4 hinges but each only had one screw on either side, a lamp in the master bedroom had a broken switch, the door handle on the master bedroom fell off and we had to try to put it back on, there is collection of debris under the slats in the master bath, including what looks like a needle, the two light fixtures in the kitchen have broken/cracked shades, the screen was pulling out from the lower screen door, there was a cockroach in one of the kitchen drawers, the beds were very spacious but hard, and the cleaning lady showed up to clean about 3 hours early on our last day, while we were still packing up.
We REALLY enjoyed our vacation and the location. The negatives weren’t huge, but for the most part just an inconvenience. With very little effort to provide a bit of basic maintenance (a few hours by a qualified service person), this location would go from “relatively nice” to “excellent”! The reason we were detailed about the issues we found is so that the owners would be aware of them (we suspect they may not be) and given the ease with which they could be corrected, perhaps have that done. All in all, a great holiday and we would come back again.
