Enjoyed our stay

Our condo was small but nice and well appointed. The only complaint is that construction was going on that we weren’t aware of. When I brought it to their attention, we were given a 30# discount, which was fair and appreciated. Nice pool but it was a long walk to the beach.

Our unit was nicely furnished and clean. The appliances were great. I’d bring chairs and good bug spray. The walk through the sea grass is brutal with spots of standing water where mosquitoes are abundant. Access in and out is easy with a code on a keypad.

Beach

Nice location. Condo was clean but had some damage to some of the furniture. No towel bars at all in master bath so no place to hang wet towels even for a shower. The bed in the master was terrible and the mattress sagged very badly.

Poor communication

First of all, poor signage of office location and overgrown greenery hiding entrance. Should have sign before you enter gate of where office is. Had the manager not been in parking lot, we would have had issues finding office. Main bathroom was dirty. Construction dust not wiped out. Blackness in tub. Not scrubbed. Master bath shower door does not close all the way. This caused water to soak bath mat and floor. In all of the multiple emails and texts and written instructions, no mention of needing a gate code to get back from beach! Thank goodness we met resident coming out who gave us the code. We would have been stranded! Multiple emails and text messages stating check out! Even the day before- very annoying and quite insulting. Never have stayed anywhere where we felt that we were being kicked out. On Saturday late morning/early afternoon a housekeeper just let herself in. No knocking at all. Was startled to find out we were in unit. Said we were not on roster and didn’t show us checking in until Sunday. Very strange because she stated she was there not to clean but to bring one kitchen towel there. There was a basket full of kitchen towels. She reeked of cigarette smoke and unkempt appearance. Very unsettling. Again, we are seasoned VRBO users and have never had anyone come into condo or house during our stay. Never had the multiple emails or texting about checkout either. Also, no issue with taking garbage out but to not have warning that you needed code to get back through walk through gate from dumpster. Not happy with management.

Overall we enjoyed the experience.

Parking a little confusing, once figured out it was fine. The place itself was adorable. Quite a few stains on the couch and duvet cover was full of sand that’s the only negative about it. Thank you for providing a nice weekend for my son and daughter in laws anniversary

Stay was good but pricing in listing was deceiving

Overall the property was good and location was great. There wasn't much info about the area provided, which would have been helpful. The map of the island that was provided was only minimally helpful since the map had errors and the restaurants weren't numbered so you couldn't locate them. All good though, we just googled everything we needed and figured it out. As far as cleanliness, everything was sticky! I don't know what they are using to clean, but cabinets, arms on chairs, etc, all felt sticky. Glasses didn't look very clean, washed before using. They had fingerprints on them and just didn't look clean. Also, the code provided to get back in from the beach side did not work. My daughter had to climb down and around to unlock the door for us each time. The biggest problem I had with this property, though, was the hidden fees that I did not realize when I booked. I was in a hurry and didn't inspect the final total very well. The 'total' showed the nightly rate plus the expected fees and I assumed that would be the total. But there was an additional (and sizable) 'owner's fee' tacked on at the very end. (looking back, the 'total' showed the amount I expected, and then the next amount simply said, amount to be collected, which was a much higher price with no explanation. You had to search for itemization of what had been added. The final price per night was practically doubled. I wish I would have noticed that because I NEVER would have booked it at that price. Left a very sour taste and I kicked myself when I realize I hadn't inspected the final amount before booking. I doubt we would stay here again. Like i said, I realize this was my fault for not checking the closely enough, but that hidden fee seemed a bit deceptive. The high price of the condo plus not being able to take solo walks on the beach (didn't know if I'd be able to get back in since the code didn't work), I probably wouldn't stay here again. I did call about the beach code and the response was that they knew it didn't work sometimes and they'd let someone know. We enjoyed out stay on the island but would probably find a different property next time.

perfect for us

We really enjoyed the condo and our stay. There was a few minor issues not really worth mentioning. The place was clean mgmt was great. Beach was further than we thought could be an issue for the elderly or anyone with bad knees. It was ok for us. We would rent this unit again. Thanks a lot for having us!!
