Not A Great Area
This property looks like the photos in terms of the interior. The exterior is well maintained with nice gardens and the pool is beautiful. The interior is as photographed, updated but used and worn, and since it is oceanfront, rust on everything metal (cabinet handles, lamp shades). Little things don't function well: ceiling fan wobbles and makes noise, the doorwall is ready to fall off the track. A big challenge is there is no way to keep the unit a comfortable temperature, windows open fan on & bedroom AC on door closed. The front has no AC and the ceiling fan needs replacing. The bedroom AC unit is gross, as in rusted and chunks of black crud flew out when I first turned it on, it is noisy, it cools but did nothing for the humidity (property manager promptly cleaned the unit but it needs to be replaced). The immediate area surrounding the complex is the biggest negative. There is an abandoned building (round structure, not pictured, abandoned for a long time) right at the edge of the complex and right next to the stairs to the beach. There are also several homeless people living in abandoned cars on the beach right next to the abandoned building. I've rented from VRBO for years, never had a problem like this, even in big, urban areas.The neighborhood gets better several blocks down, but right by this complex, it's sketchy & certainly not an enjoyable or safe feeling beach walk! The location is convenient but if I knew about the other things, I would rent elsewhere.
