The check in process was not the issue, we actually got into our condo sooner than expected. They allowed us to use the parking garage before we were able to check into our condo even, so we went & enjoyed the beach in the mean time.
It was the condo itself & lack of control of other tenants.
I’ll start with the condo, dirty. Upon arrival it was dirty. I expect there to be sand in every nook and cranny but dang...... it was all over the floor, our feet were black after walking around barefoot in the condo.
We were loading our groceries into the fridge & the shelves were so janky, I ended up removing one because I didn’t want it to break.
The wood flooring is literally chipping away, specifically around the dishwasher, which a couple days into our stay the dishwasher started leaking due the the leak guard strip thing being out of place, which I’m assuming has had to of happened before because the floor is chipping and peeling away really bad there & it looks as if it’s molding. There were also multiple soft spots throughout the condo on the flooring.
Safety concern - the balcony door does not lock & i have a curious 2 year old, so my anxiety was through the roof.
Another safety concern, the door handles are definitely far from child proof, my 2 year old could easy pop the front door open if we didn’t latch the lock (preventing the rest of our family from coming in regardless if they put the door code in).
The plumbing, I don’t even know what was happening with that. Our toilets were clogging up every other flush, the dishwasher somehow backed up our kitchen sinks to the point we had standing water in them. Which a maintenance man came & fixed that also.
We had problems with the younger kids partying next door. (which, believe me I get it because I’ve been young too) I let it go for 3 nights before I got tired of hearing them slam their doors, banging on walls/doors, hooting & hollering. They don’t enforce any “quiet time” policy.
& to top off the condo, the gosh darn elevators. Two out of the three were out of service so everyone on all 23 floors were trying to get on & off. At one point we waited literally 30 minutes. Then the only elevator that worked didn’t have a sense of direction, probably because everyone on every floor was pressing buttons.
Would not recommend this condominium, nor will I ever be back. I spent way too much money on a crap condo.
