Summary: had I seen more recent, accurate photos of the true condition of this particular unit, or seen it in person first, I would NOT have booked it.
There was not one major issue, but rather a very long list of minor annoyances that we tried to ignore over a 5-night stay; the final straw was getting locked out of the room on the final day because our door keypad code expired a day early.
Kudos to the local management of the property who handled several of the issues--and I really should have reported these as I encountered each one. But THERE ARE SO MANY, I realize now just how BAD it was.
Kitchen sink faucet handle fell off, completely not screwed on at all.
The walls have several years of wear and tear without a repainting.
Baseboards and walls are dusty, haven't been wiped down in months/years.
All bathroom sink fixtures are pitted or stained with a white crust.
Balcony door won't open without extreme amounts of force, wasn't really safe to use.
The cabinet drawers in the living area slide open on their own because it's not level.
Lamps in the bedroom were not in the correct outlets or not plugged in at all, which means the light switch at the door did nothing.
One lamp cord in the bedroom was heavily damaged, missing a ground pin jammed in the outlet.
Missing decorative picture in the living room, with two bare hooks sticking out of the wall.
Floor in the unit seems to have not been swept/mopped consistently, with notable sand on every floor surface.
The newer of the two pans in the kitchen has a handle so loose it's nearly falling off.
Kitchen faucet drips, even after the handle was fixed by maintenance later in our stay.
The bathroom shower curtain rod won't adjust and falls down easily.
There are no door stops, so the walls are slightly marred by the door knobs, with the interesting side effect that you can lock yourself out of a room when the lock button bumps into the wall.
Under the beds in the bedroom, we found an empty Dasani bottle and some random boards.
Bedroom dresser has 3 different style of handles--really?
Ceiling fan light switch doesn't work, so to get the lights off and run just the fan you have to unscrew the bulbs.
The beach was great! This unit needs work; the more time I spent on the beach, away from the annoyances, the better.
