Only giving a star to write a review

This property as a whole is one strong gust of wind away from crumbling. Dirty. Elevators do take forever and you may or may not make it to your floor. THIS PARTICULAR UNIT- garbage. Property manager/host answered every message with a generic response. No dryer. But it’s okay because she assured us that “these things happen”. So packing light for a beach trip was fun. Came home in dirty clothing. The floors were absolutely disgusting. No broom. You didn’t need to go down to the beach- it was already in this unit. Someone came and dropped off a new broom and some towels (no dryer) but unfortunately, we can’t wear towels to leave the condo for the evening. The bedrooms are connected. One room has a bathroom in it and the other bathroom is in the front of unit by kitchen and pretty far away from second bedroom. Bunk bed situation was cool if your kids enjoy sleeping in a closet. No ventilation and no air to the bunks. The bathtub in the master still has mold on walls and shower curtain. Still mold in second bathroom. Basically anything that this host has said was “taken care of” was not and will not be. The bed in master was literal junk. Mattress hangs off the end by about 7 inches and it’s like sleeping on a bag of rocks. There was sand IN THE BED and the dryer doesn’t work so I can only guess that sheets weren’t changed before our check in. Anyone who rated this unit with more than one star, I’m just going to assume has very LOW standards. The list could go on and on. The host will probably reply to this telling me that “we tried to rectify these issues” NO. They did not. And I can assure you that absolutely nothing will be taken care of. I read the bad reviews and good reviews before booking. Hoping things were taken care of, I booked this unit. Don’t make the same mistake I did. The problems I listed and others listed will still be a problem when someone else checks in. I’ve paid much less for a lot more. This rental company and this property manager/host really should reevaluate what they consider clean and actually FIX THE PROBLEM. Don’t expect any compensation or reimbursement, they’re making bank on scamming people.

Getaway

Overall we enjoyed our stay. We loved being on the beach and the people around us were helpful and friendly. The shower curtain was pretty gross and the floor was not super clean (made for super dirty feet). BUT, the beds were very comfortable and the view was great! The only think I really think needs to be addressed is a safe way to climb into the bunk beds. The "ladder" is on the inside of the nook and unaccessible. We had to move a chair to the hall to help the teen get up there and it was not very stable. But, the kids actually loved their "nook." Overall, we enjoyed it.

Nice enough

We definitely expected our condo to be free of mold. While it wasn’t absolutely disgusting, I didn’t feel that it had been kept up. This was a little upsetting due to the cost, but overall everyone had a good time. We just had to tiptoe a bit. Super close to the ocean, boardwalk, and pool which was great!

Exactly as described

Loved the location and the beach access is wonderful. Didn't feel like we had to walk a mile to get to the beach. The condo is nice alittle outdated, but overall satisfied our needs. I wished it had a table on balcony, so we could have enjoyed meals, board games outside.

Room not cleaned when we arrived and couldn't get ahold of anyone untill the next morning.

We booked our stay a few weeks before our trip and decided we would leave on a Wednesday night and arrive early in the morning even though check-in was 4pm the day before. We arrived around 4am in hopes to get a nap then enjoy the beach later on that day. When arriving to our room we had a door code to get in because the front lobby was closed due to our arrival being so late. We get to our room and all the beds have been slept in and dirty towels were everywhere, and it was clear that the room hadn't been cleaned. I tried to get ahold of the front desk but no emergency number was listed so I then had to get ahold of the owner who I did not hear back from for several hours. The cleaners arrived later that morning and we left to allow them to clean, when we arrived back the room was clean but the whole condo had no running water. After the cleaners had left we noticed they hadn't left a parking pass which we had paid for when booking the condo as well as no armbands for the beach and pool area. We were then told we would have to go to another location to pick them up. After that we had a good rest of the trip until check out when we were doing a final sweep of the condo (about 15min before we were supposed to be out) to make sure nothing was left behind and the cleaning people walked in no knock or anything just opened the door. I understand it's not the owners fault and she gave us our money back for the one night, but that wasn't until after I had to ask for it.

I hate to be a Karen but...

The property had mold in showers and on shower curtains. Property manager was quick to respond. When she dropped a new shower liner off and bed sheets (bc they were dirty when we checked in), someone was in the shower, so she couldn't change it. I later went to change the liner out but shower rings were so moldy I didn't. I notified property manager who said she could come change it but never did. The biggest thing for me was the pool and what was pictured in the vrbo listing. There is no outside views of condo except for a small pool and then a picture of a condo with a large pool. Its assumed that was this condo... apparently not. Its the condo next door and they were giving us a view from when you walk up to the door.... ... not of the actual condo we are in. I did a mom trip with my kids... the pool was important to the trip based on the other mom I came with and myself didn't want to have to always lug everything to the beach and wanted a nice pool space. I felt lied too based on pics shown and hope this has been rectified for future renters. When I pointed this out to property manager, she initially defended the pic saying its a view pic. When I mentioned there are no statements stating its not the actual condo and there are no pics of outside of condo such as view from beach or street and so its assumed its a pic of condo... she never responded. In no way was any attempt made to make this right or even an apology. Its very disappointing. My kids kept talking about the nice pool our entire trip. So yeah... moldy bathrooms, sheets and misleading on what your condo amenities are... we will not be coming back. I have pics and would love to share them but this review link doesn't offer tham option. 🤷‍♀️

There was a roach bug in the clock of the stove, and the next morning there was some crawling in the kitchen floor! The condo needs a really good scrub down!!!!

Condo was perfect, property manager not so much

we loved renting from aneliya, her room was perfect and very clean. It has been updated. The living room furniture does not match the picture because it looks new. Everything worked and was in great condition. We wore socks or house shoes the entire time they were black but your gonna get that when you are at the beach. She communicated very FAST. We had a couple issues and she responded immediately. Overall we loved this room and would absolutely stay in moondrifter 703 again!!!! The property manager on the other hand wasn't so friendly. They also give you a bathroom card and wristbands and you must wear them the entire stay while on their property. We didnt much care for having to wear bracelets the entire week or having to keep up with a bathroomcard while going to the beach or pool.

The condo needs to be cleaned. The Floors are very dirty. We found cockroaches in the bathrooms. We called management they said we could leave or they would send someone to spray. They offered 1/3 of our money back. There was no way we could get another place to stay at the last minute. We have came to pcb for years. I’ve never been so disappointed in a rental company before. We won’t ever rent from zia ever again I wouldn’t recommend them and the way they handle their company.
