Nice comfy place to stay
Everything was as describe. There was some water damage by the refrigerator that looked like it may of had some mold but did not affect anything with our stay. The starter pack is nice because i definitely didnt feel like going shopping the day we arrived. The master bed room bed was very comfortable. I didnt lay on any other beds but the kids didnt complain that they were not comfy so i am assuming they were comfy also. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Beautiful views and great location
Comfortable beds but housekeeping needs a good bit of improvement on cleanliness of floors tubs and toilets. The kitchen pans desperately need to be replaced. Other than that the property was comfortable and we enjoyed the views from the balcony

Location was great the floors were filthy
When we walked in the door you smelled bleach so you assumed everything was clean until you walked barefoot on the floors and your feet were black. The floors were not sandy but not cleaned properly. It takes more than slopping a mop around to clean a floor. Trying to use the hot tub was not easy because you ran out of hot water before it was full enough to use. We’ve stayed at the Lighthouse several times but not this room. We will not stay in this room again

Overall Great Condo-could use better cleaning and has messed up drains
Really loved location of condo and the condo as a whole. The floor was dirty(my 10 month old had dirty hands feet and knees after crawling on the floor for 5 minutes). And the shower in the spare bathroom was messed up. The bathtub drain in the master bathroom was also messed up which was inconvenient for bathing. Overall had a good experience but could definitely use a good cleaning.

Sister trip
The only negative I have to say is the shower heads needs a little work. Everything was clean, we really enjoyed staying in this unit. I think $40.00 for parking is a little high and it should be included with reservations

Needs some maintenance
The condo needs some maintenance. There are cover plates missing on several power outlets. The garbage disposal didn’t work properly. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom was missing the cord to turn off the ceiling fan, as opposed to the cord for the light. So we couldn’t turn the fan off unless we turned the light off as well.
