Great Location, Could Use Some Updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this condo was great! Very close to shopping and eating spots. Condo was very clean. Beds were not comfortable, dishwasher did not do a very good job at cleaning the dishes and the washing machine made a terrible noise when pulling in water.

Stay was great. Close proximity to the beach. Had a problem with the ceiling fan on the first day but never saw the maintenance man. Everyday when I mention it they said they put a ticket in. But everything else was great

Great Beach Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Highly recommend this rental. You are only steps from the beach and you have a partial view of the beach from the balcony. It is in a great location, only blocks from the main public beach. The unit was very clean. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. Some small inconveniences. Some fixtures and furniture are a little outdated. No ice maker or ice trays. Only one small roll of toilet paper per bathroom, no hair dryer. Still, we would definately stay here again.

Condo was clean with plenty of linens and beach gear. First impression of condo not good. The refrigerator is clean but an eyesore. Some furniture has tears and shows wear. First impression aside, condo clean and in a good location. Be sure to bring extra paper goods.

Disliked: Cleanliness
While the place was pleasant the attention to details and comfort was subpar to other VRBO places we have stayed at. The fridge on the outside looked like it was pulled out of the mire. Many of the dishes were dirty, and needed to be cleaned before use. The bed in the main bedroom was the worst we ever tried to sleep on. We slept very poorly. The other bed was egually as bad.
