First, I want to say that I do not like that VRBO only gives you two choices when writing a review, “I loved it” or “Not really.” There were things about this property that I really liked and others not so much.
Location (good):
The unit sits in a quiet cul de sac, and it is easy to walk to the beach using the boardwalk. The pool area is really nice and sits right across the street from the condo.
The unit itself (nice):
The unit itself is nicely laid out. The bedrooms were comfortable and attractive. I really liked the master bathroom with two sinks and plenty of room so that two people can get ready, shower/shave, etc., without being in the way of each other.
The Kitchen and Food Preparation (not so good):
For the most part, the kitchen was fairly well-stocked. There was the usual coffee pot, blender, toaster, etc. The fridge had an ice maker, which was nice. However, the unit advertised a grill. The grill was a RUST HEAP. The grates were rusted beyond repair. The heat shields were also rusted beyond repair. It would have been a fire hazard to hook it up to the propane tank and light it. This was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, because there is only one restaurant in Ft. Morgan. The rest are over 19 miles away. Not being able to grill out was a bummer because we planned to eat dinner at home each night. Cooking in the oven was also problematic, because the unit did not come with oven mitts. There was one small dish towel, which meant it was impossible to pull a hot casserole dish out of the oven without burning yourself. Another issue, which might not seem like a big thing, was that there was no non-stick skillet: only stainless steel skillets. And they only provided one disposable washcloth for cleaning the pots and pans. This is probably why so many of them were not that clean. We had to go buy oven mitts and scrub sponges as well as dish soap.
The Deck (so-so):
On the top deck, there were nails raised up. We nearly had a visit to the urgent care, due to stepping on a rusted nail that was sticking up about ¾”. Fortunately, one of us had a hammer, and re-set the nail.
The lawn/landscaping (poor):
The unit is infested with sand spurs, especially growing around the front steps and around the outdoor shower area. Try as we did, no one was spared the pain of stepping on them, and then getting them stuck in your fingers trying to remove them from your feet.
