Relaxing stay

We really enjoyed our stay on Cora Lee. Neat and clean, everything was pleasant. Only issue there wasn't a sharp enough knife to cut through meat when we cooked. Also was a bit disapointed the hot tub was drained. Part of the reason I chose this property was it had one.

Water pressure issues

Furniture was good quality and comfortable. The beach was a short walk across the street. It was not walking distance to stores or activities. The place was clean. The issues we had almost all revolved around water pressure. The dishwasher would not stay closed so water sprayed all over the kitchen. We used a chair to wedge it closed. The kitchen sink was only putting out about 10% of water. Maintenance came out to change faucet and then it worked fine. Master shower only worked in third degree burn hot setting. Service said to only turn on a hair to the left. That would give you lukewarm water but with no pressure so made washing hair very hard. Other shower worked fine. Kitchen is lacking staples like strainer, mixing bowls, salt and pepper.

2nd Time Staying Here

This was our second stay at this property. We love that this condo is so close to the beach; nearest beach was under construction which wasn’t ideal. Upon checking in master toilet wasn’t flushing well and by the following morning it wouldn’t flush or plunge at all. Water pressure in kitchen and master bathroom were horrible. Called the management company several times about bathroom and no answer. Messaged via VRBO and no response so we went to the management company office and were assured maintenance would be by that evening. So we stuck around and waited and no one came. The next morning maintenance did show up but was unable to remedy the problem. Then heard from management later that afternoon about a plumber coming by. Plumber came and did fix the toilet and the toilet pressure! After plumber left received a call stating plumber wouldn’t be there until the next morning. I told them they had already fixed it. I then I received a message about the plumber coming the next morning. I ask to have a manager call about a credit for inconvenience of the plumbing issue and haven’t heard back from them four days later. This being our second time staying here the unit definitely shows wear from weather and visitors but still a comfortable place. We did see a few roaches which wasn’t ideal.

Very nice - right across from beach access

The property was very nice and very clean. Exactly as it was described and overall I was very happy with the rental. There were a few things that should be addressed for future renters though: 1. Hot water temperature was SCALDING - was difficult to take shower without being burned. 2. Kitchen sink faucet needs new washer since water only comes out in trickle. 3. There needs to be a vacuum stored there for use. 4. Needs iron and ironing board.
