This property’s management company instructions/communications are clear and complete. We were particularly impressed with Leslie’s level of attention. For example, when a bathroom light burned out, she delivered one to our back deck/lanai even before I could follow-up via Airbnb messaging to thank her.
Plus, the central courtyard’s grounds-keeping presents a delightful variety of lush and beautiful plants.
Having read the other reviews, however, here’s what I found surprising about this particular unit: despite published “quiet hours” (which starts at 3am Eastern), it is not quiet.
Here's why.
This particular condo is on the ground floor and is cooled via open windows which, in December, were altogether adequate but only when they are open. The bedroom’s frosted glass louvered windows, though, open out to the exterior hallway at the base of a stairway serving the floors above. Consequently, we needed to partially close both the louvers and cloth curtain: otherwise people walking down the stairs could look directly onto our bed and down the hall to the bathroom. Despite that, their noise came directly into the bedroom. Luggage wheels’ rumble and thump, thump, thump down the stairs. People talk (loudly, both late and early). Car alarm chirped and honked. And then there is that person who apparently goes to work every morning at 3:30 or so local time who unlocks the car causing yet anther honk.
Then there was the ocean water. While this may be temporary, caused by recent, heavy storms it persisted throughout our 1.5 week stay here: the water off this beach is a cruddy brown color with...well... let's say unfresh fragrance. This morning I read in the local newspaper that such “brown water” may contain all sorts of unpleasant and unsanitary goo.
Those are attributes that I’ll consider whenever assessing Airbnbs and you may well consider with respect to this one.
