Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed here for spring break with our family of five.Pros: Plenty of towels and beach towels, two bedrooms provided enough sleeping space, and the host was communicative.So-So: Kitchen amenities were below average, but manageable for a five-day stay.Cons: Cleanliness was the biggest issue. We found half-eaten pretzels under the sheets on the full bed and a partially consumed water bottle between the headboard and mattress, suggesting the bedding may not have been changed. The coffee pot still had old coffee, and several glasses—including wine glasses—were not clean (lipstick marks). The couches also had leftover items from previous guests (fruit loops, a sucker stick, plastic eggs, Easter chocolate) and even a dirty sock inside. The sliding doors open directly to a neighboring condo’s parking lot where construction workers park, which allows a clear view into the unit. The entire condo feels very dated and in need of updates.We also came across a dead rat on the walkway to the beach gate on our second morning—not in the unit, but still unpleasant.Checkout instructions were only sent through VRBO; having them printed in the condo would have helped ensure nothing was missed.Recommendation- Research other options in this area. There are cleaner and more updated units in Sandcastles and the surrounding complexes. Unfortunately, this rental ranks toward the bottom of our VRBO experiences.
