This unit (#463) should not be rented out and frankly, we would have liked to have been moved to another unit or given a refund to compensate for our negative experience and unexpected expenses we had to incur to make our stay inhabitable. We called the management company (Cinnamon Beach Vacations) and left a voicemail asking to discuss these issues to allow them the opportunity to respond to our concerns. Our call was never returned.
The website description makes it sound great. The view is indeed spectacular. Now the actual experience: There was an overpowering musty smell in the whole unit which was our first clue. We had to sleep through the first night coughing and with headaches (mold/ mildew is not your friend). Maintenance did respond quickly by replacing the unit's air filters (why this wouldn't have been done as part of their regular maintenance is a mystery) while we were at Publix buying plug in air fresheners, benadryl, and cough medicine in addition to our planned grocery shopping. Now the scent of fresh linen overpowers the musty smell but we do not dare switch those off. Also, the place was dirty. Dust everywhere, broken chair, broken light fixtures, grease stains, brown stains on linen, (we have photos to post but did not see a way to attach them to this review). There were no beach chairs or umbrellas anywhere in the unit. The guest info booklet which was disgusting and included the paperwork from previous renters mixed in with the unit's pages (including a sample of a previous renter's bacon and egg breakfast smeared across the pages) stated that guests can rent beach gear and provided a couple of rental options.
NOTE: We rented 3 units from 3 different owners/ management companies for a family vacation and this specific unit was sub-par by far in every category when compared to the other 2 (value, cleanliness, service, provisions, etc.). As one example, when we didn't have any beach gear, our family called their unit's management company and they promptly delivered extra beach umbrellas and chairs for us to use. This was in addition to the stocked locker bin in their unit's garage that they had access to (we had none). For what we paid for unit #463, this should not be what we experienced. The unit's condition and non-responsiveness of the owners/management was very disappointing and not worth the money charged.
