Let me start by saying we had a chance to meet the owners and they were very nice. With that said, it's way past time they do some serious remodeling/updating to this condo. We looked at several others for next year. Modern and updated. Of course they will be able to rent it the way it is, but we won't be staying there again. We rented this condo in 2021 and thought it ok. It served our purposes for a working vacation, plus we are checking out different Florida locations looking forward to retirement. The internet worked well, which was very important for our needs. When we arrived this second time, there was no TV in the bedroom (which was a big bummer!) But after emailing the rental company with our dissatisfaction, apparently they contacted they owners who are local and they brought over a large smart TV. That was nice. My main complaints are as follows: 1. Cleaning was terrible - I mopped the floor upon check in. 2. Bed Linens thin and worn. Same for towels. Only extra blanket I could find was a very thin crocheted holey blanket. 3. Pillows were AWEFUL! No two were the same. We purchased two quality pillows last year, they were not there. I washed the two best prior to use. Pretty gross. Doesn't housekeeping monitor any of this for the owners? 4. Appliances work, but could be updated. Refrigerator makes noise all day and night, and if you have the ice maker on, it leaks water down into the refrigerator. 5. Major draft from under front door. 6. Someone tried to upgrade the shower, bad design. Unless you keep the shower head turned all the way to the wall, the bathroom floor gets flooded. The entire condo needs to be painted, but especially the bathroom. Ceiling paint is peeling. Baseboards are pretty bad. Of course the beach is the best. But we will be spending our money on a more comfortable place. Thank you!

This is a very nice condo, good location and a great view on the beach. The negative part was there was no table and the wooden benches were sooo hard and uncomfortable. There is a high table & chairs on the patio. However, with bad knees, it is difficult to get up on the chairs. On a rainy day, there is no place to play cards or games. We had issues with both WiFi and the LR television not working all week and management was unable to fix the problem with the TV. They did get us WiFi a couple of days before we left. That was disappointing, but they did make an adjustment to our account. These issues will be fixed and I would consider going back there again.
