Pearl in the rough
So many things about the unit were lovely. However, the carpets are very tired and need to be either replaced or flooring needs to be put in. Also, there were no tall glasses in the cabinets and a very limited amount of drinking cups. We actually had to buy some on our own. There should be instructions on how to use the TV as we struggled with it for days.. In addition, there were no hangers in any of the closets, we asked for hangers, and once we got hangers, we found about 50 of them in the laundry room. They should've all been in the closet and not in the Laundry cabinet. Otherwise, the place was great, the couch was comfortable, and the beds were comfortable as well. I think there's a little problem with the bedside lamps as they both flicker a lot. Perhaps it's simply that a new lightbulb is needed.
We enjoyed our stay and thank you for your hospitality.

Great condo!
Great condo, clean and comfortable throughout.
Well-equipped for every day living and beach days! Parking is right next to the building entrance.
Enjoyed sitting out on the balcony with a lovely view of the lake and golf course.
