We got the text to check-in and picked up the keys. We arrived to find the cleanup crew still cleaning up. No worries, we took a walk and came back. The unit was "clean" and smelled of cleaner which was fine. As we moved in we found food under / behind the furniture. Again not a big breaker but for the money we spent, we'd expect a bit more.
The condition of the property reminds of a foreclosure purchase with the goal of getting income as soon as possible. I took pictures of every room / furniture as there is quite a bit of wall damage / dirt / scratch marks. The furniture as the other review stated is very dirty and old. One of the kitchen chairs was broken and unusable. There were tears in screens, carpet stains, bath towel rod pulled of the wall, and so on. Just a general lived in, unimproved unit. Sort of disappointing.
The bed on the first floor is a pullout. However, there are missing springs in the bed so you have to use the 2 small tables to hold up the mattress. Also, there is no seat cushion - there are 4 pillows instead covered by a blanket. We had to use this room and made it work, but really, this was not acceptable.
The location is great although no real bay views. The canal is pretty and quiet. There is no porch cover on the deck so the afternoon sun is too hot to sit outside till the sun drops a bit. It is around the corner from the store, so that was good.
We had a good week and the unit met our needs but really this is not the Sunset Island quality I've been used to. I hope the owners / managers update the interior and give the customers what they pay for and expect. I don't expect a rebuttal per se, but in case further information is needed, I have pictures of every room.
Also - I may get asked why I didn't call to get things fixed. I'm on vacation - I'm not waiting around for busy contractors to show up, I have things to do. These things should be right when I get there.
