Nice condo complex, unit does not meet expectations.

We enjoyed the location of the condo and the beautiful pool. The complex is nice and in a good location but the unit is not at all as described. It is definitely not "luxury," things are broken and furnishings are outdated. Kitchen furnishings are worn out and inadequate: pots and pans are scratched/burned/unusable, there are 2 drinking glasses and the rest shot glasses or whiskey glasses. And ZERO cleaning supplies provided: No dishwasher soap, no bars or soap or shampoo/conditioner. 1/2" of hand soap that ran out after a few days. No washing detergent or spare paper towels. No napkins. We were given 1 kitchen trash bag for our 9 day stay, yet given instructions that we had to take out our own trash and recycling. When we asked for dishwasher soap and spare trash bags we were told "go to Publix and buy your own." We were not able to wash dishes when we left since there was no soap, and owner threatened to take our security deposit since we left the unit with dirty dishes in the dishwasher. When we opened the blinds they fell apart, were held together by scotch tape and staples. Terrible quality, outdated, and very low-quality furnishings. Owner refused to communicate through VRBO and contacted us via text. Air conditioning unit was broken when we arrived, had to get it repaired while we were there. No check-in or check-out instructions were provided through the normal VRBO communication channels, owner required us to text him instead. No check-out instructions provided. Upon check-out, we were texted by owner trying to blame us for breaking furniture. We did not damage furniture, he threatened to keep our security deposit for a chair we did not break. This place is a scam, I do not recommend. Very low quality condo and they will try to steal your deposit when you check out.

Check-in was smooth and I received a prompt answer to several questions sent by text during my stay. Property location and neighborhood were excellent. Property does sleep six, as advertised, with two on the couch. It works for a family with small children, but I wouldn't want to try with six older (teens and adults) people. Also, the property wasn't supplied very well for six. There were only two rolls of toilet paper and two wash clothes (plenty of towels) available for a week-long stay. Overall, a good experience, even though we had to shop for some basic supplies.

Stay at Serenata

My wife and I totally enjoyed our stay. However we had to cut it short due to the Coronavirus pandemic. As a result we did not complete our full month stay returning to our permanent residence in Wisconsin. While we were there however, we found everything to meet all of our expectations.

Prüft die Sauberkeit vorher!!!

Noch nie haben wir ein so dreckiges (sorry, schmutzig würde es verharmlosen) und ungepflegtes Apartment gesehen. Badezimmer, Küche und alle weiteren Räume waren im gleichen Zustand. Das Kunstleder der Couch war durchgesessen und hatte Risse. An einem Stuhl im Esszimmerbereich klebte noch ein Kern einer Melone von einem Vormieter. Die Küchenschränke waren innen total verschmutzt. Tote Inskten, Wollmäuse. das komplette Programm. Der Vermieter vor Ort wollte eine Reinigungskraft schicken. Wir haben uns für den Auszug entschieden und auf eigene Kosten eine neue Unterkunft gesucht. Der Vermieter hat nach Diskussion ein Viertel der Kosten erstattet. Wir haben uns dort nicht wohl gefühlt. Eine Unverschämtheit, dass für ein Apartment in der sehr schlechten Qualität eine Kaution verlangt wurde. Ferienwohnungen Direkt werden wir definitiv nicht mehr nutzen weil das Vertrauen in seriöse Anbieter auf dieser Plattform bereits bei der ersten Buchung verlorengegangen ist.

It’s very good! Clean, comfortable, nice pool and secure. The bedrooms are completely separate, so you have a lot of privacy. The kitchen has everything what do you need to cook with. The host was very nice. It’s a perfect place to stay!

Condo tucked away on beautiful grounds- yet convenient to everything

We rented this condo to attend a family reunion and we invited our parents to stay with us. Both bedrooms are spacious with walk-in closets and private bathrooms. We shared a common space of living and dining area which was open to the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a meal. We enjoyed coffee each morning on the screened lanai. Check in process was seamless. I would definitely stay here again.
