Since 2018, we’ve taken our annual anniversary vacation to PK. I lived there for several years before relocating to Ft. Lauderdale when I met my husband & we both love the area. We always book through VRBO and have had great experiences every year - until this year.
The condo was a 2/5 stars and here’s why:
1) Great view and nice balcony furniture.
2) Vertical blinds were missing 13 slats. This was actually mentioned in another review prior to our stay and ignored. We found almost all of them in the HVAC closet and put them back up.
3) Both TV’s were so outdated we couldn’t even hook up our Roku. Cable channels were super basic. We watch TV or movies if I’m having a bad “health” day so this is important to us for that reason. If you rarely watch TV on vacay, this won’t affect you.
4) Extremely poor Internet/WiFi signal. Not only that, but the connection WASN’T SECURE!! I expressed this and was ignored.
5) Spots on ceiling where there were previous leaks. The far LR corner had pieces of drywall hanging down. The faux plant below it was covered in drywall dust & paint chips. Notified management & nothing done.
6) Although you bring your own supplies, there weren’t ANY basic kitchen supplies. Every condo we’ve stayed at in the past 5 years had at least salt/pepper, cooking oil, spices, etc. Those nice little touches that are unexpected but make your stay just a touch better. Not here. You may as well be staying at the Days Inn or a motor lodge off the turnpike in Jersey.
7) Plenty of towels (Family Dollar quality) and no extra blankets or pillows. Had to use the ones from the bed.
8) Mildew everywhere in the shower - even on the curtain liner.
9) No W/D - the listing didn’t specify it was the shared condo laundry facilities but once I mentioned it, the listing was updated. SMH.
10) Furniture - satisfactory. They should really invest in a recliner or ottoman for the square cushioned chair. I had to move furniture in order to use it to watch the crap TV or our laptop on the coffee table.
Basically, save yourself the disappointment and book a different condo. Our typical ones weren’t available so we were sort of forced into selecting this one. Lesson learned. Spend the extra $100-$300. If you can’t, don’t expect to be wowed when you walk through the door.
