Other reviewers have touched on what to like about this property. However, there are some noteworthy situations to warn about:
1. OLD STAINED FURNITURE: Stains on the unattractive green chairs, laminate tops peeling and bubbling off of the dresser, bedroom end tables from an 80s hotel room. The pictures show the furniture that you will see, just be aware that it's quite unattractive in person.
2. BEWARE THE FEES: damage insurance and parking fees. The property owner requires you to add insurance to your booking to cover any property damage during your stay. This is not optional and comes up as you are booking on VRBO. There is also a $20/per vehicle parking fee for your stay. This is NOT SPECIFIED before you book, so it's a true hidden fee. Feels sour since you're already paying te host, cleaning, property, and damage fees. This brings the average per night price up a significant amount so the amount you're viewing on the VRBO search is NOT EVEN IN THE BALLPARK to what you will pay for your rental.
3. DAMAGE ON PROPERTY: broken picture frame, board coming up on deck (major trip hazard), bathroom sink drain that doesn't drain right, peeling laminate table. I hate being petty about issues, but I paid a good sum of money for this rental and expected things to not be broken. I contacted the host who did, to be fair, ask if she should send someone out to take care of the issues. We only had a short stay so it was a moot point to have it repaired during our trip. But I notice that another reviewer from a previous month mentioned the board coming up on the deck issue. The host should have remedied this.
4. CLEANLINESS: everything in the condo was clean, except for the stained living room furniture and fridge which had nasty orange splatter stains all over it. This is a minor issue as I know these things happen, except that I paid a sum for cleaning fees. This is subpar and why I give a low cleaning score. If I pay for it I expect it to be clean on arrival. I don't go on vacation to deal with rental issues, lol.
5. SPA CLOSED: the spa was closed during our stay for maintenance. I understand this happens sometimes. However, THERE WAS NO COMMUNICATION ABOUT THIS FROM THE HOST. This is a listed amenity that was not provided.
It's a great location, but I cannot recommend this property
