There is NO DOUBT the owner will be responding here there is no shortage of double talk from him. The pictures make the place look like heaven but it's more like a ghost town with nothing to do and a half working Netflix TV. The NBA championship was on while I was there and I couldn't watch it. There are approximately 20 units in the building and about 70% are empty. No furniture, no people, a ghost town. The beach is full of rocks, the water isn't clear, and there are thousands of pelicans. I grew up and still live at the beach in CA, I shouldn't have left here. There are about four or five buildings like this along the beach and that's about it. Do yourself a favor and pull this location up on Google maps, it's a one horse town. It's like going back in time 40 years and moving forward 40 years in prices.
So before we show up we're told by Kerry and his local caretaker Luis, that he can buy groceries for us before we arrive. I thought that was a bit weird, buy groceries for people you don't know with two kids 6 and 4? Luis sent me an email of items I could purchase. No sizes, no brands, nothing. We declined but he wrote back, "I'll get you some staples". So when we arrived there are eggs, milk, bacon, and some other goods. Fast forward. Everyday we are greeted by a cleaning lady. This lady would stay for hours meandering around, moving everything. I mean everything, I thought my wife was bad. On our second day she decided to pull the couch cushion covers off and wash them for about 4 hours. They were not dirty, and if you're going to do this, do you do it after the tenants arrive and while they are using the couch?
The garage door has no remote. So every time you drive up you get the attention of the front door guy to have him open garage. As I was backing in the car I hit the garage door, my fault. I spoke to Luis and he said don't worry it's a small fix we'll have someone out tomorrow to look at it. They did, and showed me a bill for (VRBO won't let me say) but it wasn't much, I paid it. I have pictures and video's of the door, it worked fine, the bottom two aluminum panels were bent. After I got back they told me it was over 5x as much as they told me when I was there. We were told we owed an exorbitant amount for the 'staples' food we didn't ask for?
I could go on and on, what's the point. I've been back now for 11 days and NONE of my security deposit has been returned
