Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Patrick J. May 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Disappointed- They knew we were going to have problems way before we travelled 3 of the 4 bedrooms have full size balcony doors with no shades. The light comes in at the crack of dawn with no way to cover it. It is impossible to sleep in because of this. People can see in your bedroom at night. Management company knew the cable/ internet had problems. Arrived, and there was no TV/ Internet. We called for repair. The repairman came. /He told us the last 4 guests had the same problem. Cable had been cut by construction next door (we didn't get advised about the construction either). They had put some kind of Verizon box in house that worked off of a cell tower. You could not stream TV, and it went out again after a couple of hours. We called every day and complained at length. I got hung up on. I admit I was entirely frustrated and was not speaking too kindly. I was told on the 1st call that we would get a repair or compensation. We did not get either at first. Finally, we were offered compensation. Actually they asked what we would want for compensation. I replied $150 per guest for the 4 guests. They replied that was too much for the cable going out. I replied that when they knew in advance that they were going to ruin our vacation that involved expensive airfare, etc. It was the least they could do. They should have called and told us that there was going to be a problem and offered us a chance to cancel at no charge. However, their GREED prevented them from doing so. We had to settle for $100 apiece. I would highly recommend to rent elsewhere. ##### Patrick J.
