2/10 Terrible

Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
Upon checking in we immediately noticed that the place was horrendously dirty. There was dog poop stuck to the step and smeared on the wall of one bedroom. There was a total of 4 wet pee spots in the carpeted bedrooms upstairs. There was also a huge water mark on the ceiling above the front door that was molding. Shards of glass and loose screws on the floor downstairs. Holes in the walls and tile floors. I immediately called customer service to report this major problem, and the only solution I was given was to have a cleaning crew sent out the next morning.. that didn’t make much of a difference. The next morning, we noticed that the sheets actually had mold on them.. The description and virtual listing of the place is wildly inaccurate, it is a dirty unit that smells like dog pee, and it not properly cleaned and maintained. Getting in touch with the owner was very difficult and over all just an unfortunate experience because the complex and amenities were lovely.

Location good, property fine, new managers seem unfamiliar with location

It's a vacation rental. There are buckets of paint in the closet for updating the space. Some mirrors aren't hung. The shower head leaks and the bathtub doesn't drain. The washer/dryer are extremely loud and make some concerning noises. Everything besides the bedrooms are tile floors and leather couches so it's all very sterile and easy to clean but not comfortable to lounge around in. The location is right across from one of the pools, which is nice, but it is one of the furthest houses from the beach. It's about a ten-minute walk, which isn't terrible. But just something to keep in mind. We had to communicate with the property managers a number of times. GPS took us first to the half of the property closest to the beach, which required a code to get in the gate. They didn't seem to realize this was part of the property. We then got routed around to our place, which did not require a code. However, the bridge you have to take to get across the lake to get to the beach has a gate that locks at night, which we ran into. Also needed a code, which wasn't given to us until we asked. Again, the managers were friendly, but just didn't seem to know the property well. The good, you can park right outside the house. The beds were extremely comfortable. The shower was great. The not-so-good, it's set up for easy cleaning so it's not super comfortable to lounge around in. There were things that needed fixed. We would stay at Southbay again, but would want a house closer to the beach.
