Pardon the length but in fairness to the owner and future tenants I think it is necessary. Note that we were there for four weeks. Perhaps it should be a one week rental only.
Positives: Unit was very clean, nice toaster, great coffee pot, bed very comfortable, shower great. Air conditioner worked well as did the ceiling fans. We loved that we were not near the elevator nor the laundry room.
Negatives: The lanai furniture was just not thought out. There was no short table to use between the chairs and have morning coffee or evening drinks. There was a tall cocktail party but one could not use that and there was another chair that was just awkward. We brought in the large plastic container and the cooler from the storage area (beach chairs, etc.) and stacked them as a table. All it would take is to get rid of that tall table and the other chair. Keep the lounger and add two shorter tables.
The arrangement of the room inside was also awkward. Check online and you will see most units hang the TV to save space (do the same in the bedroom). That would allow you to remove the bulky cupboard. There is a nice sofa and a table on one side of the sofa plus a very large papa san type chair on the other side but no side table. I would remove the papa san chair, put in a smaller comfortable chair and an end table between the sofa and smaller chair. I personally would take way all of the fake plants because they take up space in an already small unit and are dust catchers. I would definitely remove the hanging one. .
The kitchen area is what it is. Great dishwasher, adequate fridge. The pots are nice in case you want to cook something like sauce or soup but bring your own small 8-9" small pan. There are frying pans but they are way too big for the burners so if you want to fry an egg or grill something you are trying to maneuver between the two burners. So awkward. We bought one while we were there but did take it home.
We also bought a mat for the front door since, after two days, we realized how much sand got into the unit. Not surprised. The mat should still be there.
Overall, I would give this a 3 but if you are there for a week it is just fine. I checked other listings in the same building and many were much better laid out. Perhaps the owner should stay in the unit and get a feel for it. The management company is great and I credit the cleaning to them. They were responsive and very easy to work with.
