The condo was very nice and clean. Water pressure was excellent which is hard to come by! No complaints about our rental. The only issue is the wait on the elevators which they do say up front but it really was a long wait at times. Other than that everything was wonderful! The pool was amazing and the view was great.

Condo nice-property employees confused
The condo was as it appears in photos. The view and patio were unbelievable and nice patio furniture as well. The ceramic floors did not look dirty however after walking around the unit barefoot, feet were black. The drawer under the counter in master bathroom was broken and peeling. Not a big deal. Bathrooms were fine, got the purpose. The “2nd bedroom” was not really a bedroom, it was approximately 6 foot wide by the length of a twin bed and the second bathroom required going through this bedroom to get to this bathroom. The dehumidifier was in that bathroom on top of the washer and dryer, was on 24/7 and was overwhelmingly loud. Kitchen was well stocked. The pull out couch was super uncomfortable. The couch was stained. The property is another story as well as the policy that you CANNOT use the facilities prior to check in at 4 pm-can’t park, leave luggage or swim. I have never had that issue the over 40 vrbos we have stayed at. The parking garage-extremely tight-after driving 16 hours had to sit on beach cause we couldn’t park-went back at 5-spent 40 minutes searching for our assigned space which we never found and had to drive all the way back down to the entrance and ask what floor the space was on since they were not in order. As if that wasn’t irritating enough, there were no carts to take our luggage to the room and we spent over 2 hours that day waiting for elevators (16th floor). The rest of stay elevators were beyond ridiculous-we wasted our whole first day.
