This property was in a flood. You can see the flood water lines on the walls. I was just in a flood 2 months ago. It still smells like the flood in here. The tv only has 1 channel, the fridge is going to fall out of the wooden cabinet that is badly damaged from water, and the bathroom sink doesn't drain. This should have not been rented out until the drywall was ripped out. I have plenty of photos to back up my statements.

Overall the property is well maintained, the only small issue was that the small TV in the living room had a remote control that needed new batteries. But besides that, the property met my expectations and I did enjoy a good night sleep on the second floor.

Some things could use sprucing up, especially the outdoor sitting area. The furniture was kind of beat, but the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Location was great, on a quiet street, close to the beach, shopping and dining. Great price! I'd stay again.

Property is very outdated, old and needs a remodel. Sheets smelt like bleach which made me feel like they were clean but very scratchy. We could hear everything in the room next to us , tv, talking, dogs barking. Paper thin walls. It served its purpose, very close to the beach and St. Amands circle.

When I booked this place I didn’t have high expectations considering how much higher others were charging in the area. I realized why it was so cheap and warn anyone that is considering on staying here. The location is great, walking distance to the beach and restaurants. It was nice that there was a living area with a kitchen and dining area as compared to just staying in a hotel room. However I would not stay here again nor would I recommend it to anyone until management makes several improvements. The bath tub drain was dirty and the shower handle was broken. Bath towels were old, torn and stained. Bed was uncomfortable. Did not provide paper towels which I think is as much a necessity as toilet paper. With the amount of sand being dragged in from the beach, I would also suggest that management provides broom and dustpan.

Parking is very tight especially for anything bigger than a mid size suv. Rooms are aged but not outdated. Property provided beach chairs/items are non existent/broken. Not worth the price unless reduced by 75-100$ a night. Beds are very squishy and new linens were not provided. Property owner seems nice and was able to accommodate extra towels via a call. But no accommodation was provided for the marijuana users who were filling the property with smoke and smell. If you’re looking for a place to party with no repercussion from the owner this is your place would not recommend. 420 friendly

Infested with ants! We booked 5 nights and had to leave because our entire condo had ants. My son counted that he killed 57 and that was just in the bedroom. At that point we reached out to the management who offered us another unit. I looked at it and saw an ant crawling as soon as I opened the door….upon turning on the light in the bathroom I saw a roach scurry across the floor. That’s when we checked out early. Now my truck has ants living in it. Staying there has caused me a bigger headache now.

Too Expensive for what you get!!
Rented for one night, to break out driving from Key West. This place is small! Very small. Almost too small for both my husband and I. The parking is limited. The bathroom sink was clogged. Took it over an hour to drain from washing our hands. The coffee maker was in a utility room, with no place to plug in. Wouldn’t stay here again.

From the outside looking in, this property appeared updated and clean. Upon entering the room, everything matched expectations from pictures online, however, there were bugs everywhere! Both dead and alive ants in every corner, in the sink, tub, floor, on the bed, and behind the bed. There were also dead and alive roaches, and a gecko paid us a visit at night. The amount of dust behind the bed was very also concerning. I was disappointed to see the place so unkempt in such a nice area.
