The location of the condo is truly amazing - waking up to such an incredible view every morning is wonderful. The building was well-kept, has a beautiful private beach and turtles come up each day on the sand. The pool is very nice and gets sun most of the day. The hot tub is also a nice addition and in our experience is not used by many guests. We saw hundreds of whales during our week-long stay, right from the lanai!
The condo itself - aside from the view - leaves quite a bit to be desired. When we arrived at 10pm the front door would not close because it was completely rotten. The maintenance person we contacted was in quarantine but the building manager quickly came to take a look at the door. He agreed that the door had been left for too long without attention - and unfortunately due to the custom size of the door it would not be able to be replaced during our stay. He had to take off the hardware and shave down about an inch of the door in order to get it to close. The wood was so rotten it had swollen and would not have closed it he had not done this. We were not contacted by Darlene to apologize or explain what the next steps would be which was fairly disappointing. We were just left with a door which was missing half it's hardware and a door that could have been pushed/crumpled in if anyone had tried.
As others have mentioned the unit is quite dated and in need of attention. The carpets, appliances, screen door, toilets, kitchen sink are all things that should be replaced. While we felt the cost of the condo was reasonable, once we checked in and saw how poorly maintained/dated these items were we felt the price was not in line with the level of disrepair. When we booked we thought it was mostly aesthetic issues of age, but during our stay we had to personally fix toilets that would not flush, had to close the glass sliding door because the screen was broken, and weren't all able to sit on the patio furniture because the fabric on the chairs was rotten.
I think most of the concerns we had could be quite easily fixed with a minimal cost, but it seems that the owners have not been to the unit in some time to keep up on regular maintenance. We would be more than happy to recommend this rental if things were more regularly updated and the owners were more concerned with the comfort of their guests.
