I wish I looked at these before, b/c I hate how much time has lapsed w/ these negative reviews just lingering for all to see.We adored this unit, & the only reason we booked another unit for 2015 was to be closer to family in tower 4. But!! We booked w/ Kathy again. Working w/ Kathy last year, & this year has been fantastic. She responds to all communications super fast, that it pleasantly & continuously surprises me.

I disagree with the first review by 95%. I need to be fair, because there was some truth. Yes, there was sand on the floor, & yes-- eventually our feet were black. Was the sand there upon arrival? No.

The place was spotless when we arrived.

Was there sand after our 1st trip to the beach? Oh yes, & then some! If we did not clean sand off the floor, then yes our feet would eventually turn black. That's not a housekeeping's issue, I look at it almost like personal hygiene. This is not a hotel. There is not a maid service coming behind you every morning to pick up after you. The whole point of VBO, is to rent a home by owner. This beautiful condo was our dream home for 5 days. And guess what? If you want a clean home, you need to CLEAN it! So let me describe our dream home. There is seating for 9 to eat not including the living room furniture. In the master bedroom is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in other than my own. It was nicer than our bed at The Ritz on our drive back home to NC. There were plenty of towels, linens, extra blankets, and pillows. There was hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, dish & clothing detergents. There was enough supplies to get you started including garbage bags. As a mother I was so grateful for the added bonus of shout stain remover. The garbage shoot is maybe twenty feet from the front door of the condo. Have no fear my friends. It is behind closed doors, and does not have any lingering smells. Plenty of cleaning supplies. The kitchen was well stocked including coffee. Beach chairs, beach toys, a safe in the master closet (we did not feel the need to use it). In reply to the door- ITS A HURRICANE Door= enough said.I know there are many more added bonuses that I'm forgetting due to the amount of time that has lapsed since our trip. Before our vacation was even over I was quizzing Kathy about availability for next year.I'm not being compensated in any way for this review. And honestly, I'm a very picky person, so remember that when reviewing this rental.
