The penthouse location is amazing and the location is definitely what you pay for. Our favorite part was sitting on the deck in the morning and finding turtles almost everyday. The sunset was absolutely delightful from the balcony or the beach nearby. The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance. We had no problem parking in the parking lot and a car is necessary to get around on the island. The pool is smaller, however, never busy with a lovely hot tub.
That being said, when we arrived the floors were sticky and I felt the need to wear slippers when walking around. The bathroom was the biggest issue we had with the place. There is a bidet on the toilet that once activated (when someone sits on it), the smell that it gives off is unbearable. We would have reached out but upon reading the reviews, another reviewer had maintenance come for probably the same thing and they did not do anything about it. Further, I wanted to highlight the cleanliness of the walls. The bathroom door is painted an off white, however, because it has not been cleaned or repainted in quite some time, there are brown finger prints where people have opened the door repeatedly; which is seen throughout the apartment. Moving to the bedroom, I was trying to hang some of my clothes in the closet but when trying to do so, I realized that the closet was broken, had large dust bunnies and was in storage. I thought that when using an airbnb, all spaces should be made available or at least a closet to put a suitcase? The apartment would not get any cooler than 70 degrees even if the AC unit was set cooler and the bedroom was always very warm even with the ceiling fan turned on. There is an option to use their beach chairs. One would think that because you are spending a good amount of money on a this penthouse condo, that the beach chairs would be really nice. The beach chairs were rusted and the pillow with it was dirty as referenced by the blue pillow that had brown on it. That being said, this airbnb is overpriced for what it gives you. There are plenty of resorts on the water that are much cheaper. All you have to do is walk to the beach to see the sunset. When we left, we cleaned up, swept the floors and cleaned the surfaces. Upon leaving we get a message from the owner with a very accusatory tone stating “can you tell us what happened to the railing on the outside deck?" I have been in the public service industry and never would I approach someone this way. We are respectful people and have rented our place in the past so we understand how space should be respected.
