The master king bed was very comfortable and the sheets were yummy. We loved the walk-in shower with the hand-held shower head. Everything was clean and efficient. Lots of great gadgets and cookware for preparing wonderful meals in the kitchen. The TV was the bomb, huge and very clear. The balcony furniture was also a plus, especially the pub height set that enabled you to easily see the incredible view over the handrail. We loved this unit and would highly recommend it. ##### Tonya K. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Miranda P. May 28, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The room great- property not so much Unit nicely decorated. Corners of the rooms have hair and dust. Extra pillows but no pillow cases. No extra blankets and what’s on the bed is very thin. It was cold and rainy during our stay and it would have been nice to have more bedding options. Stained blankets. The pool was terrible- cold, sand everywhere on the inside, broken tiles missing from the inside and outside edges. Very dangerous. The elevators smelt like mold. Parking is all very narrow. The internet service and WiFi is terrible - would not load. cell service is terrible in the condo- one bar. The phone rang several times in the middle of the night and woke everyone up, once at 3 am and 5am and when answered it was political advertisement. The fridge was warm when we arrived- it has to be turned down to normal temperature. The compressor on the fridge would also make a ringing noise- constant throughout the day . New outdoor balcony furniture was delivered which was great. Overall the unit was okay but the property Room nicely decorated. Corners of the rooms have hair and dust. Extra pillows but no pillow cases. No extra blankets and what’s on the bed is very thin. It was cold and rainy during our stay and it would have been nice to have more bedding options. Stained blankets (see picture) The pool was terrible- cold sand everywhere on the inside, broken tiles missing from the inside and outside edges. Parking is all very narrow. The internet is terrible - would not load on phone or computer. cell service is terrible in the condo- one bar and one bar of internet. The phone rang several times in the middle of the night and woke everyone up, once at 3 am and 5am and when answered it was political advertisement. The fridge was warm when we arrived- it has to be turned down to normal temperature. The compressor on the fridge would also make a ringing noise- constant throughout the day . Some of the fencing around the pool is held on by zip ties. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. Bring spices. There was one beach chair in the unit- we did not use because we didn’t see it until the last day while doing laundry. The property itself needs a lot of maintenance. ##### Miranda P.
