Poor Sister Side of the Duplex
Not sure where to start as I found so many issues with this property...... If you want to save money on your vacation and like to cook this is not the place for you. Dull knives, no cutting board, meager pots and pans, a can opener that won't even open the thinnest can, a back yard that is mostly bark mulch with a single OLD plastic chair, a pool behind the other side of the duplex that has the nice outdoor furniture behind it. A gas grill with an empty propane cylinder that you have to fill if you want to use it. You are NOT permitted to have any quests over to enjoy the pool with you..... The pool access from this side of the duplex has a chicken wire opening with jagged edges and no way to actually close it. Probably a code violation...... 2 very cheap rolls of TP and 1 roll to cheap paper towels are supplied. I bought my own and left the cheap stuff for the next victim.... Worst rental experience ever!!!!

Nice Get - A - Way
This small duplex was clean, well stocked, and a short walk to the beach & several places to eat. Also, a short drive to grocery, drug store, airport & other shops. I liked that the area is not too touristy or congested. It was nice to have the use of beach towels and chairs. Very easy to access and good parking off the street. We didn't use the grill & the patio tables & chairs were all in use by other tenants.I wasn't impressed with the intercostal. The water is very littered with trash & debris. Of course, this is no fault of the owners. Our courtyard area was secluded with no view. We had to open a make shift fence (I didn't see a gate) to get to the pool. We were able to push our way through at the corner. We did enjoy watching the iguana very much! Very interesting creatures!There was a maintenance issue with the bathroom sink that I addressed with the hosts when we left and they assured me it would be taken care of. We used the kitchen sink instead. The cooling unit in the bedroom was very noisy, but cooled well. The unit was a nice temp & we never adjusted it at all. The decor is a bit dated, but clean. The appliances worked well. Nice place to stay if you don't need a view or any frills. The pool water was very clean/warm. The shower is nice.The bed is comfy. The neighborhood is quiet, clean & well maintained. Good walkability. The beaches are very nice & we ate lots of great food nearby! Easy check in/out! Beautiful weather!!

This is a great stay for the price!
Great location, nice pool, excellent host.
This is a great stay, It is older, and the air conditioning system could use an update, but that is reflected in the rate.
The host was available and great to deal with!
We enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing Short Stay
We loved this apartment. It is quiet and in a great location, and the outdoor pool area is relaxing. Although there is no central air, the AC unit has cooled down the entire place well. The bed is comfortable, and there is a smart TV with good internet.
We enjoyed eating at the Tiki in the pool area. It's a few blocks from the beach. Perfect for us. We will be back for sure

November stay
This property looks much nicer in pictures. It is ready for a bulldozer. It did have plenty of hot water, and all the old appliances did work.
There were broken windows and a ripped screen; broken blinds and an off kilter door. The smoke detector battery was dead. The AC unit in the living room was dirty and moldy. The kitchen faucet would only spray, not stream. The internet connection wasn’t that great.
The pool area was ok. Tiki hut was ok too.
The general condition of everything was old and tired.
I would not recommend staying here.

Super fast responses from property manager every time. Grounds crew and maintenance were very responsive and great as well. Wireless internet worked very well with nearly zero downtime. Pool is nice! Pretty much as expected. Only a few minor issues for our 2+ month long stay.

Not as described at all
No view. No dishwasher or disposal. Bathroom door would not close. All vertical blinds with many slats missing. No end tables in living room. We had to access shared pool thru a fence. We didn’t know we were getting a condo attached to the one shown on the VRBO description. Very noisy window air conditioning. Very disappointing. However, there was a nice walk to the beach and a little center of restaurants and outdoor area.

Excellent location and all amenities I wanted; owner very responsive.
This modest 1 bedroom apartment is part of a duplex with a shared private pool and excellent location on the waterway and only blocks from the beach. Everything was clean and in order. Small kitchen, but well appointed and stocked with dishes, silverware and cookware. Owner was very responsive when we had questions. The larger 3 bedroom unit was vacant during our stay, which allowed unlimited access to the backyard and large pool. I would rent again if given the opportunity!
