Pros-
The location is wonderful! The Turtle Bay resort is luxurious and just steps away from this condo. Within a few minutes drive are many beautiful beaches, delicious food trucks, and fun adventures (waterfall, zip line etc). The condo itself has a comfortable king size bed. Another plus is the great airflow if you open the front window and back siding door, creating a breeze through the whole condo.
Cons-
We were notified the day before check in that the refrigerator was broken. The owner put a small fridge next to the counter in the kitchen, which was fine for a few drinks and snacks but not enough to hold groceries. So we couldn’t cook at all during our stay and ended up spending A LOT of money eating out. Luckily there were lots of good food options nearby but they were all expensive, even the take out. Also the freezer slot in the fridge was so tiny it couldn’t fit an ice cube tray (or pint of ice cream): so no drinks on the rocks or smoothies either.
Also the condo smelled very musty. There was mold in the bathtub and brown liquid dripping from paint that was peeling off of the side of the tub. When we sent pictures of this to the owner, she said that the tub had been painted previously but the paint didn’t hold up so they were going to replace the tub this summer. So no bath available (and no hot tubs at the pools in the complex ): The owner suggested that we use the portable fan in the bathroom and offered to bring us another fan if needed. It was inconvenient having the cord of the fan stretched across the small bathroom but we figured out how to manage the mildew smell by constantly running the ceiling fan with the window and sliding door open.
The washing machine smelled of mildew too. When we washed our clothes, they smelled musty afterward even though we immediately dried them in the dryer. There was barely any detergent but luckily we brought our laundry sheets so we were able to re-wash.
Bottom line- We had a great time and the condo was fine once we adjusted our expectations and made accommodations. We will definitely stay at Turtle Bay again but not in this condo.
