The view from the balcony is superb, and there is a nice beach. That’s all I can say positive about this place. I’ve stayed in 22+ beach homes over the years with a range of quality in construction, upkeep and cleanliness, and this condo is the worst I’ve ever experienced. We found every room to be dirty, from sinks to floors, baseboards and fans, to the windows and under the beds. Bathroom toilets had not been flushed or the seats cleaned, a sink was dirty and one of the drains was clogged. Sand was on all of the floors (it’s the beach, but it should start out clean) and one of the beds, and one mattress pad had dried blood on it. The toaster oven pan was filled with grease, and there was a dirty cookie sheet. I called the owner the next day, and he sent out the “back-up cleaner,” who said she cleans the unit in the winter. She swept the floors, cleaned the bathrooms, and wiped down the fans and baseboards. She found some unseemly items and noted that it appeared no one had swept under the beds in months and that the place was embarrassingly dirty. (She said she left the owner a message to call me, but he never did.) After she left, we spent that night and part of the next day washing bedding so we would feel it was sanitary to put on the sheets. It was 3 days after check-in before the owner sent someone to clear the clogged bathroom drain. Further, my husband found a bag filled with assorted pills when vacuuming under some bins in one a bedroom. (Fortunately, we have no toddlers.)
In addition to being advertised as clean, the VRBO description says there is a well-equipped kitchen and the condo is stocked with games. While “well-equipped” is subjective, there were not enough dinner plates or coffee mugs; there was 1 wine glass, no potholders and just a deck of Uno cards. The description highlights Kohler doors in renovated bathrooms, which led us to think the bathrooms were nice. While the master bathroom was okay, the other one had holes in the door, a broken faucet knob, no bath mat and insufficient towel hooks.
We faced other issues, too, but I’ll just say this is NOT a place to bring your family. It may be okay for kids who come to party and do not plan to cook. You can view my traveler’s pictures by searching for 6onthetop condo.
