6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was average. It needs a lot of updates. There was a broken chair on the balcony. We had the admiration of seeing the workers painting or window washing equipment as our view, on two balconies. If I had known, I would have never rented this unit. I woke up, in a bed with ants. They were also in the bathrooms. The facility was great and came to help but again I woke up in a bed filled with ants. The kitchen had dirty pots and pans, along with bugs in the drawers. The bunk bed is built foe toddlers. That should be stated. Loved the views but i would never rent this unit again.
