Poolside Paradise, an oceanfront complex, was one of the more disappointing rental experiences we have had.We arrived late after travel to find the condo at **86F** with a locked Nest thermostat. We attempted to contact the host by phone, text, and app messaging, but did not receive a response until the following morning. Sleeping in that level of heat was impossible.We also observed **roaches throughout the condo** and **dirty dishes in the cabinets**, which raised concerns about the overall cleanliness of the unit.The following morning, the issue had still not been resolved. By 11:00 a.m, the thermostat remained locked. Around 11:45 a.m., it was unlocked and we set it to 72F before leaving for the day. When we returned, the owner had remotely changed it back to **78F and relocked it**. After additional messages, it was unlocked again; however, even when set to 70F, the condo never cooled below **75F**.The listing advertised beach chairs and equipment, but only **three rusty, dirty chairs** were provided.The host acknowledged the issues and indicated she would try to get us a partial refund, but we did not receive it.Given the cleanliness concerns, temperature control issues, and remote thermostat adjustments during our stay, we cannot recommend this condo. There are many other options available in Cape Canaveral.
