We have stayed in 426 since 2017 the condo is nice but we have been asking for the owner a new mattress since year 1. It is still the same mattress and very uncomfortable. I think it’s so old it still has coil springs . Also there needs to be new silverware it’s allMix and match. Who ever stayed there before us put allPots and pans back dirty . But we do like the condo just really need a NEW mattress

Reviewer Comments:
Lovely condo, but it really needs serious update. The bathtub is really old and nasty and it looked like it wasn’t entirely cleaned prior to our arrival. We found urine on the toilet seat very gross ,and the bathtub is so old and yellow and looked really dirty. Also pillows were so stained and old that I had to call the management to get me some new ones. The cooking pots are also very old and scratched we couldn’t use them at all.Another problem is the entry door. There is a big opening on the bottom so the wind makes a very big noise . We had to cover it with the towels to stop the noise. The view is lovely and the balcony is nice too. The rooms are good size also the kitchen. The best thing of all was easy access to the beach.
