When we arrived, the sheets on the beds had hair, mascara, kool-aid and other stains on them. We tried to change them out but there were no sheets that fit the king bed in the condo. When we went to wash the dirty sheets, there were over 20 wet towels crammed in the washer plus hand towels and washcloths. So we had to finish that laundry (drying 3 loads for over an hour each) before we could wash the sheets. I messaged the owner and housekeeping brought new sheets the next day (that still didn’t fit the bed). After the housekeeping manager had been in the room for a long time, she told us her husband has covid! When she arrived a second time to bring the correct sheets, we tried to get her to leave the sheets with us and we would put them on the bed. She came in and told her helpers to put them on anyway. She then yelled very rudely at her helpers who were doing exactly what she told them to. It was very awkward how rude she was to them. She blamed everything on someone else.
We had to go buy a lot of items that are commonly in VRBO condos, like Lysol, washing detergent, dishwasher detergent, hand soap, aluminum foil…
The kitchen was missing a lot of common items also: measuring spoons and cups, plastic bowls for leftovers, sharp knives, mixing bowls. It was definitely not a fully-stocked kitchen.
Everything was dirty - the floors, sheets, bedspreads, bedside rugs, coffee maker, the griddle in the kitchen island spilled grease all over the floor (apparently it had been put away without emptying the grease catcher - which tells me it probably hadn’t been washed), the balcony had sunflower seeds on it from a previous guest, a plate in the cabinets had a green ring on it yet there was no green soap in the kitchen - don’t know what the ring was from. The owner never followed up with us, and frankly we didn’t want housekeeping to come back at this point.
During the trip we began feeling sick. After arriving back home we took covid tests and are positive.
The property is easy to get to. Parking deck was convenient. The view from the room is nice. The traffic is louder than the waves. You do have to cross 6 lanes of traffic with no crosswalk to get to the beach. The beach is not a pretty “Florida-type” beach. The pool area is nice. The workout room was also good. There is one sauna in the men’s room and one in the women’s room of the neighboring tower. If you’re there as a couple it might be awkward using the sauna together.
