Great location

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay. Coffee on the balcony each morning overlooking the beach, and then spending most of the day on the beautiful white sand beach. Condo was roomy and clean. Everything we needed and more. Will definitely stay again.

Nice condo everything worked like it should. Only that would of made it better is if the blinds worked in livingroom. The owners were aware of the problem and had new blinds order but hadnt came in to be replace. Enjoyed our 1st time staying there . Kings size bed was firmer than we liked but other wise a nice place to stay

We’ve stayed busy since we arrived. The condo was ok. It could use some updating. And a couple of things need fixing. But we enjoyed it

Disappointed

When we arrived the handle on the sliding glass door was hanging by a screw. One of the cabinet doors fell off the hinges twice during our stay. The couch and living room chairs were filthy. We had to cover the couch with a blanket to sit on it. The pool was greeen.

Enjoyed our stay

The location of this property was fantastic, right on the beach. It is a very comfortable condo with all the basic needs met. We had one issue that was resolved immediately after reporting. Management company was fantastic to work with. We also loved that carts were provided to help bring luggage up and down. Property was nice but could use a pinch of updating in some areas. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Towels were really nice too. We didn't realize that all the doors are to the outside of the building and the walkways are narrow so those who are afraid of heights may have issues with higher floors.

Perfect place for us!

This was perfect for our group of 4 friends. Some reviewers stated that it could be cleaner or needed paint, but we found it to be clean enough & it smelled clean. The cosmetic stuff doesn’t impact the comfort of the place. The beds & couch were comfy. The only complaint we had was that the dining chairs & matching bar stools seats were very small & hard. We like to play cards and dominoes in the evenings and we had to sit on pillows. The location is right in the middle of everything & the office staff checked in with us to see that everything was as it should be. The price was reasonable for retirees on a budget & we would stay there again. If you want to stay in a fancy place, then expect to pay a fancy place price.

Disappointed with the Condo

This is an older property, not well maintained, dirty and has an elevator that randomly works. In the 5 weeks we were there, the elevator stopped working weekly, sometimes daily. Stairwells and outside hallways need lighting that works. The unit is very dated and was not well cleaned. We washed bath mats upon arrival as they were very dirty. Wet beach toys and inflatables were thrown into guest bedroom closet rendering it useless until it was sorted out and neatly placed back in closet. Shower curtain liner was moldy along base. The couch was so soiled we covered it with a bedspread and one of the living room chairs had a broken base so it could not be used. All the above was brought to the attention of the property manager. The location and view were great!

Holy cow!

Arrived on Saturday. The elevator did NOT work. Being on the 6th floor (7 flights of steps) is not acceptable. Called the management company. It was several hours before it was fixed. On Sunday, the elevator again did NOT work. Upon arrival, a kitchen cabinet was broke off, the handle to the sliding door was coming off, there was previous renters trash there. All was fixed while there, but should not have to come in like that. The furniture is very worn and dirty. I get that it's rental property, but... The location and view were great, but for the money, i believe there could be somewhere nicer.

Last Option

I was afraid to touch anything. The shelf w mirror on the wall inside the door w hooks on it almost fell off the wall when I hung a t-shirt on it. The tv mount exstends out in a way that it looks like it's gona fall off the wall. The guest shower curtain is rusted and looks like its gona fall due to it's not even flush with the wall. The master bed is hard as a rock. Paid a cleaning fee but there were spider webs literally in the windows and ceiling. There is not a comfortable seat anywhere in the place. The couch is dirty with stains. The dining table was something I'd have outside w metal chairs. Walk outside on the balcony and look to your right and there was a man literally looking at me face to face. No privacy at all. The curtains in the living room are broken so you can't close the blinds for privacy or to block the glare while trying to watch a football game. I have pictures of everything I have mentioned in this post. I did report these same things to the Poole company on their review paper that was left at the condo. The review page from the previous guest mentioned all of these same things i have mentioned on their sheet that was left there. The Poole company people were great. I did not have to go by office for the key due to door has a key code. I also did not like that i paid $170 more for this condo when I had a condo at Lani Kaii that was nicer and included 2 parking spaces. I will never stay at this facility again. It got us through the Shrimp Fest !

Perfect Location

Location was perfect, had all the amenities to make your stay feel like home. The ONLY negative we have is the elevator broke a couple of days during our stay and did not get repaired so we had to use the stairs and we were on the 6th floor.
