Overall we enjoyed our stay in this condo but will not return. While the condo itself was almost exactly as described -with one or two exceptions.
1) Owners failed to mention that this condo is right up again A1A - a very busy road. Often noisy.
2) A pool and jacuzzi were promised and did exist but the cleanliness of both were so questionable that neither one of us would even dip our feet in the tan, cloudy water. This is not the fault of the owner's but rather the responsibility of the on-site property managers. I hope the owners see this and start raising questions. We spoke to others in the same building who had been there a week, complained daily about the pool's cleanliness to the management, and also noted that nothing was done. They also did not use the pool facility.
My biggest complaint is again with the on-site property managers. We arrived after the office was closed - exactly as we had pre-arranged via email with them. I was nervous about this process to start with but our flight from the West coast wouldn't allow us to arrive any earlier. Because of that, I had specially emailed them to confirmed that there would be no problems getting into our condo that evening. I was reassured that it would be no problem.
When we arrived we located the drop box where the packet with our check-in info was to be left for us. You guessed it...no packet. Called the phone number on my info, left a VM and waited. I was then called by the office manager and given instructions about how to get into the condo.
The thing is - the next day, no contact from the office. No nothing. We finally went to the office to enquire about what had happened and to get our "check-in" info. We were met by a lady who told me that she was the one who had made the mistake and forgot to put our packet in the drop box. Oops - my bad, so sorry.. Somehow I was expecting more.
The next day we also spoke with the office folks regarding the pool conditions and that it was unusable....we were told that the pool guy was going to be cleaning it. He never did for the duration our stay. We never used it.
So - here's what I learned.
1) Always use Google Earth before booking to see the property.
2) Never again book a VRBO that is handled through a property manager. Only book with the true owner. I have booked many this way and never been disappointed.
