This is our 3rd or 4th time staying at a Brooks and Shorey property. We have been pleased with their professionalism. I was dissapointed this stay, because even though the unit was nicely decorated and in a great location, it was not as clean as we expected. Upon entering the unit we encountered a very unpleasant musty odor that remained the entire time of our stay. It was less noticeable when the air conditioner was turned to a cooler temperature but never completely gone. Not sure what the source of the smell was-rug, vents, couch, etc. The latch going out on the balcony would just fall off when locking/unlocking the balcony door. We could put it back on, but it needed to be replaced. The balcony looked like it had not been cleaned since winter with the door facings needing to be wiped down to get rid of black accumulated during the winter. The floor of the balcony had residue left over from winter. The deck just needed a thorough cleaning. Also, one of the deck chairs had a slat missing. I'm sure the owners would like these items attended to by the management company. I personally am not interested in renting Unit 505 again because of the above stated issues, but we would rent again from Brooks and Shorey and are planning to return in September to a different property also maintained by them. In fairness to Brooks and Shorey, we did not complain about the issues we encountered, but it is doubtful they would have been able to address them during our stay since it wpuld have required time.
