I have stayed at hundreds of hotels from Europe to Alaska, but have never vacationed in a condo. We did not realize there was no fresh soap provided. There was bottled soap and shampoos remaining from previous guests staying during the pandemic, but We were not going to use those. We went and purchased fresh soap. There was only one face towel for 2 people staying 3 nights, but we’re advised after I contacted the agent that there was laundry soap and laundry available. The discussion in writing with the agent about a balcony overlooking the ocean turned out to be a small balcony on the side of the bldg with a small view of the surf between trees from 500 yds. I had expressed in writing how the view of the surf was a priority to me and she assured me I would have that.
The living area was neat and all appliances available, but the bathroom was in need of an update and all of the used shampoos and conditioners need disposed of. That was unsettling to suggest we use those products that were used by others during the pandemic.
The agent advised that most condos operate in the same manner, and I have no reason to doubt her comments, but I do wish I would have had a clue that there aren’t sufficient fresh towels and wash cloths and soap provided for a 3 day stay.
