"This is NOT an Ocean View as advertised. The views from the balcony and rooftop terrace shown on the listing are of a different unit. Instead its a city view with literally an apartment building across the street and a 5g tower. Property management will tell you that "the unit you booked is the unit that was listed". Show them the listing all you want, their reply will not change. I traveled to this unit in Jan of 2026 it is now March 2026 and they continue to list as an Ocean View. ...
