However bedroom furniture needs updated and the master bedroom didn’t have a tv in it. ##### Andy V. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Carolyn J. Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Condo needs some TLC Condo lacking in some areas: Need fans in bedrooms and better lighting. Exhaust fans in bathrooms not very effective. Outlets very hard to get plugs in -- Why? Not enough lighting in Living Room to read a book. A/C fluctuates a lot. Drawers in second bedroom fall out on you and are falling apart. Could use start-up items for stay. Water pressure low, especially in bathrooms. We wouldn't rent this unit again. Have stayed in others that were better, but we did have a nice time--the weather was good and the beach was great! ##### Carolyn J.
