The positive: across from a great beach. That’s it.
This place is a dump, and I am being extremely generous with my statement. We checked in late on Monday evening. The place smelled musty and moldy. We thought that if we left the windows and doors open and aired it out it would be OK. No chance. That night we slept with the front and lanai doors open and on the mattress in the living room. The next day, the smell was still awful and so we started looking for another place to stay. We again slept with the 2 doors open. When ever we were in the unit, we left both doors open. Most of the unit is carpeted and I believe that contributed to most of the smell.
The sofa in the living room also smells old and musty.
The unit is in building 1 and directly across from the garbage collection point for the complex. The garbage trucks come every day between 7:00 – 7:30 am. They make an awful racket. Secondly, the complex maintenance yard is also across from the unit and the workers start at 7:00am. There is a lot of noise of equipment being moved and carts moving etc.
The unit is one removed from the elevator. We got woken up every morning at 5:00am by noisy guests leaving or noisy guests returning late at night.
The master bath is in need of a major upgrade. Rust on the tub and flaking off, shower handle falls off. The guest bath is in worse condition. The shower floor looks like it is covered in mold!
The beach chairs are falling apart.
The kitchen had 1 pot and 2 fry pans. All of them non stick and badly scratched.
All these issues have been reported by other guests and my assumption was that anyone in the rental business would take steps to correct major deficiencies. I guess the owner wants to milk it for everything they can get and not spend any money on upgrading it.
All in all, a very sad unit badly in need of a major upgrade.
The only bright spot in the whole experience is that Airbnb stepped in and helped me get out of there early but I had to pay much more for another location at such short notice. My health is more important than the money I lost paying for a dump.
