Great room, great pool, great spa, great location

Hosts are great, the actual unit is pretty decent. However it’s very small, for example the space between one side of the bed and the wall is very tight, and it’s made worse by some decoration oars sticking out a few inches into that space. If the bed could be slip sideways 4 or 5 inches, that would help, but it’s built in. The couch is very uncomfortable, not sure why, it looks nice enough. On to the building it self, it was badly damaged during the last hurricane/storm, therefore lots of construction going on, and so several things are not working or unavailable such as elevators. The makeshift office is now inside a regular unit, at which you will get a surprise charge of 78 to park for a week, yes, that one ticked me off. The units are independently owned and managed by several different companies which causes some issues. They are also still fighting which the insurance company to cover the hurricane damage. Not sure what’s going on with that, but several buildings nearby look fully repaired. They have sprayed cement on the steel beams holding up the entire building, but in my opinion as a retired engineer, it’s adding lipstick to a pig, and this pig is rusting badly, and at some point it will need major repairs or just torn down. The rear units which were built much later are not rusted as badly. In short, it’s ok to rent, but I would not even consider buying for more than a few year’s net rent income, because it’s days are numbered, probably the insurance fight.

The TV in the front room didn't work the first night of our stay, so I immediately reached out to the property manager to troubleshoot the issue. I was told someone would come out to fix it. By the second day, however, **none of the TVs in the house were working**. Throughout the day, I was repeatedly told that someone was on the way, but no one ever arrived.Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue for me, but we were on vacation during the FIFA World Cup, and my 12-year-old nephew had been looking forward to watching the matches. At the end of the day, our kids also like to unwind with a little TV before bed. Instead of enjoying our vacation, I spent hours emailing back and forth trying to get updates.Around 6:00 p.m., after an entire day of waiting, I was finally told that someone had come by and determined the issue couldn't be fixed. At that point, we had gone essentially our entire stay without one of the advertised amenities.To make matters worse, I then had to continue following up myself to request compensation. After all of the inconvenience, the time spent chasing updates, and not having access to the TVs for the duration of our stay, we were offered just **25**. The amount itself felt dismissive given the circumstances.I'm not someone who typically leaves negative reviews or complains, but this experience was disappointing. Things break—that happens. What mattered most to me was the lack of communication, the repeated promises that someone was coming w
