Unit needs basic updating: Carpet should be replaced, crack floor tiles should be repaired, damaged and stained walls should be painted, ensuite bathroom shower should be refurbished.

2 month stay
Overall we enjoyed our stay after we contacted Spectrum to get the TV working. Even then the program choices were limited. The only annoyance with the proprety was a loud hammering sound whenever we flushed the toilet. The sound would stop if we ran cold water at the same time.
The view was great and we enjpyed dining in the clubhouse and walking around the community.

Disappointing
There are two issues: the rental unit and the management company. The unit needed cleaning and there was a strong stench that never went away: the furniture was extremely uncomfortable in in a weird layout; supplies( like toilet paper; dishwasher detergent; trash bags) were not provided; power was off in the second bedroom and bath; lack of hooks or towel racks in bathroom; mold on window ledges; paint chipped; floor tiles loose in bathroom; etc.

Hello Linda,
We are so sorry you feel this way. After looking back at our communication with you during you stay, it does not appear that you called regarding the cleaning. We take our cleanliness very seriously and would have happily sent someone out to remand that if the cleaning was not up to par. As for the supplies in the home, we provide a starter pack for all our homes (one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, starter roll of paper towels, starter trash bags, etc) . This is in our terms and conditions and renters are made aware. The other issues listed we also do not have record of, but we do see that we sent someone a couple times for a chain broken on a fan. If there were other issues that needed addressed, our technician could have handled them while he was there. We are so sorry you had a less than pleasurable experience.

Condo needs updating and repairs. Location was excellent and it was adequate but a bit disappointing.
