For the most part, we have really enjoyed our stays at this property...we came two years ago and stayed at a renovated upstairs unit, which was beautifully decorated and furnished, well-stocked with toiletries, and extremely clean. We loved it so much. I was really looking forward to booking a unit at this property again, and chose the Sea Grape condo because it had a pull-out sofa. This stay at the Sea Grape condo was initially disappointing...we got in at 1 am and upon entering the apartment, realized that it was pretty filthy. There were skid marks and shoe prints on the walls, dust bunnies on the walls/fan blades/in all the corners, layers of dust covering all of the sparse wall and shelf decor, mold all along the lining of the refrigerator and in the bathroom...there was no mirror in the bathroom, and half a hinge remaining where it appeared that someone had ripped off the medicine cabinet door. We opened up the pull out sofa, and so much debris and dirt came out of it...it was also covered in stains and very, very flat. We were able to find a spare set of sheets for that bed, but no blanket...we had to go and buy one. When I got into bed an hour after being there, my feet were black from how filthy the floors were. It was comically bad.
That being said, the property manager was very apologetic about the state of the condo and very responsive when I explained our experience. They offered to put us up at a nearby hotel, but since we specifically chose this property for the ease of access to the pool, we didn't want to leave. They ended up agreeing to refund the cleaning fees, and we spent the next day mopping and cleaning the space up.
One lucky thing is that the property manager had already contacted us the day we arrived to ask if it would be okay if they removed the existing sofa and loveseat and replaced them with brand new ones...thay had scheduled that delivery for a date prior to our arrival, but were delayed by the hurricane. They replaced the sofas the next day, and it significantly improved our experience as the new sofa was extremely comfortable and clean.
I did love that this condo had a fenced in front porch area!
We really love the location because it is a short, scenic walk to the boardwalk, or the beach, and the neighborhood is so friendly. It's well-equipped outside with a grill and a firepit, and the pool is so much fun! It's close, and shallow for the kids. All in all, we had a fabulous time.
