Reviewer Comments:
First the good - a 3 BR + loft end unit right next to the boardwalk with great beach and inland waterway views. Dining table easily seats 8. Comfortable living room chairs. Convenient parking and elevator. Nice private entrance patio. Great garage place to store beach gear. What a super 5 star rental it could be. Now the not so good. The unit feels neglected. Light bulbs burned out in several lamps. Upstairs loft lamp clearly broken and unusable but still there. Little things like 5 flashlights for night beach walks, 1 broken and no batteries. Only one frying pan in the unit with a very loose handle and the nonstick surface is all cut up. 3 wine openers one of which is clearly totally broken. One baking sheet with burned grease on it sitting in the oven. It is as if no one has looked at and organized the kitchen dishes in years - many odds and ends and not in great shape. The bedding in the 2 queens appears to be 20 years old and is stained. Most of the pillows are in bad shape. Missing queen mattress pad. (sheet to be put right on the old mattress). From the fabrics used here, we assume this unit has not been updated in 20-25 years as these were the 'hot' fabrics then. The cleaning crew leaves bunches of sheets wrapped in saran wrap for you to put your own bedding on the beds which feels 'lazy' to me. We have rented many VRBOs during covid and never had to put our own sheets on. (And in this unit it gives you a chance to see how old and ratty the beds and bedding are.) When I did call and request a mattress pad, batteries and light bulbs the management company did drop them off immediately Saturday AM. So they were very responsive. Still, the owner needs to go through this unit and clean it out, get fresh bedding, throw out the old and broken kitchen items and lamps and freshen it up. Then it would truly be great.
