Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived we had plumbing issues in both bathrooms. The screen door leading to the patio had been ripped. Two cushions were missing from the patio chairs. The recliner was very dirty. We had a swarm of bees outside our entrance door and a beekeeper had to come. There was a fire alarm at approximately 3:00am one morning and the fire department was dispatched.

NOT THIS UNIT!

Property location is amazing. This particular unit needs a lot of TLC. Molds in air vents/ceiling/bathroom. Cabinet door missing/carpet with stains/curtains in main bedroom falling down. Beds in second bedroom noisy with every movement. Bathroom fixture in main bathroom cracked and old. Patio furniture broken/old. Decor is very outdated. Front door lock problems locking at times. The unit is functional in the sense that it isn't dirty per say, but it needs a lot of updating/fixing. I was dissappointed in the upkeeping of this unit for the price. View is amazing! Management staff amazing. Love that it is right on the beach and central to everything.

Even though property is under reno, there was no problem parking and grounds were immaculate as always.The unit had been somewhat renovated, painted,new appliances except for dishwasher, builder grade and in rough shape. The kitchen was sparsely stocked, in need of additional glassware, and plates and silverware.Our biggest complaint was the utility closet. He looks of it made you not want to turn on.A/C.I would recommend this complex and unit, but would tell people what to expect been somewhat renovated

GREAT VIEW / BAD CONDO

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very outdated. The kitchen appliances were in bad condition and it looked like water damage on the kitchen walls. A pair of pliers had to be used to turn the clothes dryer on. You didn't know which setting you were getting on the dryer. The air vents were nasty. The place has not been maintained over the years. The ocean view and location were great. After talking with the people at the management company, I found out that the condo had not been scheduled for maintenance in approximately 2 years because it had been continuously booked. I'm not sure how much of this is on the management company or on the owner of the unit. The management company did get us a clean comforter and new iron and brought them to the unit. The outside grounds were nicely maintained.

The only redeeming quality is the view.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dirty, not well maintained, fabric furniture in a beach apartment is poor taste, one of the blinds by the front door is a rolled up newspaper, dead bugs in closet where beach chairs are kept, everything is rusted, popcorn ceilings, no exhaust fans in bathrooms, the squeakiest beds on the planet, permanently stained toilets and bathtub, shower in the dark since both bathrooms have 0 light in shower areas, mold on shower curtain, beehive outside of master bedroom terrace. Wine opener is broken. Needs major updates, new terrace furniture, new furniture all around, recessed lighting, better blinds. Rust is also everywhere- in sinks, even the stove appliance. The fridge is great and so is the water pressure, but I wish I had stayed elsewhere.

Spacious condo with great ocean views

Condo with great location and views. The condo is in need of major renovations. The carpet and furniture are filthy. The walls around the oven and washer are rotten with clear water damage. The oven is rusted. The walls need painting. The mattress in the master needs to be replaced. To summarize, the entire condo needs to be renovated.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely top notch view. Couldn't be better. However, the condo is in need of updating and mattress replacement. Pool is very nice with multiple gas grills off to the side should you wish to do your own cooking. A plus/minus thing is that it is within easy walking distance of Coligny but you do hear the live outdoor music when outside (whether that is a plus or minus depends on what you are looking for. Seashore Vacations made the arrangements/process easy.
