Reading some of the comments, I knew that the unit was older and wasn't perfect. Upon arrival, it was reasonably clean and located next to a nice beach. However, as someone had noted in the comments on VRBO, this unit was lacking in maintenance. There is a broken tile in the kitchen that from previous reviews is over five years old. Faded artwork on the walls. Chair in the bedroom looks as if someone had grabbed it out of a rummage sale. The fan blades in the bedroom are drooping at a severe angle and the screws are loose to those blades. Vents are dirty. And the main door was entirely too difficult to open and close, especially for my wife and daughter. It appears that the owners are putting in the least amount of maintenance as possible. Two stars at best. I don't know where Beachside Vacations gets all of those four and five star reviews... guessing that they probably won't publish this review.
And speaking of Beachside Vacations, I was very disappointed in them. On the Friday of our stay, we returned to the unit around 4:30 p.m. and the thermostat was reading around 84 degrees even though it was set at 76. Probably near 90 in the bedroom and the living room areas. Played around with the thermostat and the A/C unit was dead. Immediately called Beachside and got an answering machine. Left a message. Also immediately sent a text message too. Went to dinner and returned around 9:30. No call backs. Called their number again and got an answering service whom asked way too many questions. Did get a call from the management company shortly thereafter. They didn't have any knowledge of my previous call or text message, but, would contact the A/C person.
I noticed that the thermostat was loose on the wall. I moved it around a little and also switched through the modes. out of nowhere, the A/C started and ran for about 20 minutes and quit. Played with it some more and it ran for 40 minutes before quitting. Then got it started again. It was late and we didn't want to pack up to go somewhere else. So we suffered out the night.
Around noon a maintenance person arrived unannounced. Said that they had had problems with the drain in the past and he thought it was that. However, he couldn't fix it and an A/C person would be by. The A/C person never showed up and we never heard another peep from the management company. Luckily, we weren't staying long, otherwise, we would have packed up and left. In my opinion, I don't recommend this unit or renting anything
