4/10
We were told on the way to the property that there was an issue with the unit and we were "upgraded". We arrived to the upgraded unit and it was a dump. There was a loveseat that was was broken and the unit was old and gross. Across the street was apparently the beach, but it could not be seen due to the enormous Marriott Resort. The "upgraded" unit also did not have a pool. I called the host who had been gracious enough to let us check in a little early, and he started to become argumentative when I told him that I could not even see where the beach access was from this unit. This was irrelevant, since we had specifically booked this unit for the pool. He said he would try to find us a unit with a pool. Shortly after he sent me the check-in information for a studio unit with a pool. The room was nice, and we understand that unforeseen things happen in Florida with Air Conditioning exc. That being said, this is not a nice area. I have lived in Florida my entire life, and know what beautiful beaches look like - this is not one of them. We did not feel safe here, and ended up leaving the morning after checking in and salvaging the remainder of our weekend at home. We also kept seeing a man in a white van following us.. perhaps this was the host, not sure why he wouldn't have just spoken if so? Nonetheless it freaked us out, and I was glad I was armed. If I ever decide to drive south again, I will keep driving until I get to the Keys, no thank you West Palm.
