Unacceptable - mold was on the shower curtains - extremely molded bath mat. Crumbs on counters and
It was a cute condo - cute beachy furnishings, but it apparently does not get cleaned properly - even the dishes had to be washed before using. The mold was totally apparent - so how a cleaning person not have seen it. Your cleaners do not clean the condo. I had to clean it before using it.

Fun!
This is a cute property in a great location. The parking is a little confusing, and apparently a very big deal to some of the other tenants. Once you figure that out though, it’s a great place!

Great little getaway
This condo has been thoughtfully updated and maintained. It was very comfortable. The view was lovely. We very much enjoyed coffee and dinner from the covered porch. Lots of lovely little details made our stay more enjoyable. Only downside is the upstairs guests were very loud, but fortunately that was only for a short time. Also the closed beach access for erosion would have been nice to know ahead of time but we figured out an access point no problem. Thanks for a lovely stay. Thanks to the management company for helping us easily extend.
