This unit has an amazing location. The Turtle Bay property is unparalleled in its beauty. The communication with Red Awning was easy and they responded immediately to my questions and concerns. The maintenance at The Estates was also amazing. The toilet was leaking and they responded immediately and replaced the toilet without any issues. The kitchen was stocked with a toaster, coffee pot, blender, pots and pans, plates, cups, silverware and all the cooking utensils you would need to make meals in the unit. A stackable washer and dryer is inside the condo. It is very old and loud but it was very convenient to be able to do a load of laundry. There is an assigned parking spot directly in front of the unit which is really nice when you are toting beach gear and kids back and fourth. The property was quiet and felt safe.
Unfortunately, there were two major issues with the property that greatly impacted our stay. The first issue was cleanliness. The bathroom, in particular, was especially dirty. The bathtub/shower had mildew on the shower curtain liner, on the shower head and around the drain. It was uncomfortable and difficult to shower in and feel clean afterwards. The second issue was the mattresses. I had more comfortable sleeping accommodations in Army basic training. The bed in the bedroom had a very flat and firm mattress. It was not comfortable at all. The couch bed mattress was even worse. The springs and foam were visible when lifting the fitted sheet. It was very thin and even my eight year old daughter said her back hurt after sleeping on it. We were there for a week and did not get a single good nights sleep because of the uncomfortable mattresses. Some other things that did not bother us much but others might have an issue with are the very dated decor, dented and rusted refrigerator door and microwave. We never used the oven, microwave or dishwasher so I am not sure if there are any issues with them but the stove top and coffee pot worked great. Additionally we were never able to connect to the WiFi. I didn’t address this issue because we didn’t need WiFi much while we were there. Even though the location is perfect and the property management is fantastic I would not stay in this unit again simply due to the uncomfortable beds and dirty bathroom.
***Adding an edition to this review. The pictures on this listing are not unit 119. I have emailed Red Awning and I am awaiting a response. I booked the vacation back in March and didn’t think to go back and look to make sure the pictures matched when we arrived. It was only now once we are home and I am writing this review that I realized the listing pictures are not what we got.
