The rental location was convenient for beach access, and the ocean views were stunning. However, the unit we got differed from the one pictured in the listing. The rooms had open ceilings, providing no privacy as sounds carried easily, including from the bathroom. The living room's panoramic ocean view lacked blinds, making us feel very exposed at night. With no air conditioning, we had to leave patio doors open to stay cool, leading to noise from neighboring units and mosquito bites due to broken screen doors.
The property wasn't as clean as expected, with dust caked on vents, under the beds, on wall tops, and furniture. There were cobwebs and spiders in the bedroom closets. The floor was dirty; we didn’t wear our shoes in the unit, and our feet would be black from walking around. The vent above the stove was greasy, and the shower had mold and mildew. Only the inside of the refrigerator and countertops seemed clean.
Many parts of the property were also neglected. The walls had several holes, the bed frames were unstable, the headboards moved, and the mattresses were uneven. Broken blinds in the queen bedroom eliminated any semblance of privacy we had left. The old, low-flow toilet required at least 10 seconds to flush. The most concerning issue we encountered was the deteriorating railing and baluster on the south side of the patio, posing a considerable safety risk for small children.
Had our stay in the area been longer, we would have sought alternate accommodations.
