This unit is beautiful but Crescent Arms is not great
The condo itself was fantastic. Some issues preventing me from staying here again: Crescent Arms is a gated community that refuses to allow golf carts. This made my trip much harder because I booked a cart for the week as our primary mode of transportation. Nothing in this ad nor communications with the property management company mentioned this. I even asked about parking the cart on-site and I was assured there was 1 parking space for the condo. The ad does not mention that there is not a washer/dryer in the unit. There is a shared laundry room on each floor, that requires $2.50 worth of quarters for washing and drying. This is ridiculous! The money paid for the rental should come with free laundry! The machines don't even take credit cards so you have to get quarters from the front desk (when they're open) or drive around Sarasota looking for a coin machine or begging some cashier for change. The washing machine also malfunctioned after taking my money and would not give it back. Very annoying after a long day at the beach. Additionally, there is one elevator that is very slow. Try not to book the 7th floor or you will be spending a lot of your vacation waiting for it. Lastly, the check-in process did not include the code required for the main gate, just the room itself. I had to beg the condo management for the code. They did not want to give it to me for security reasons, and after the management company did not answer the phone - they gave it to me out of pity.
