⭐Oceanfront Villa•Heated Pool•South Forest Beach⭐

The view from the balcony of the ocean was great. The pool was very inviting. The condo could’ve been a little more clean.

Super easy check in and check out process. Description of condo was spot on. We definitely rent this little gem again.

Very nice

The view from the patio was beautiful. That was what lead us to rent this unit. That's the best part of this unit. The condo itself was a huge disappointment. In fact, it was uncomfortable for us to be there. The first thing we noticed when we walked through the door was a distinct, unpleasant smell. I contacted Jake right away, but nothing was done about it. After a couple days, we tried turning off the ac unit in the bedroom and that made a big difference. There are water stains on the ceiling in a couple places and around the window in the master bedroom. There are bubbles in the wallpaper on the exterior wall in the bedroom, so likely water has gotten in somehow. The popcorn ceilings were full of dust especially in the bedroom and in the bathroom the ceiling was peeling above the shower. The door frames and bunk beds had lots of dirty smudges from hands touching and leaving marks behind. The knobs to turn on the shower had gaps between them and the shower wall, so water trickles in and behind the knobs each time you use the shower. The glass sliding door to the patio could only be opened and shut from the inside of the unit, because the door wouldn't slide on the track without great effort. Once it was open, I couldn't get enough traction and grip from the outside of the patio to close it. Jake said a new one is on order. The other disappointing part of this unit was the washer and dryer are not in the unit. There is a laundry room for all residents (pay per load, you need quarters) down the hall. I did not notice that in the description of the unit prior to renting. Knowing that in advance, we would have choosen a different unit with a washer and dryer in the unit. Jake said he will make that more visible for future renters. Jake was quick to respond back in email, but not with actually sending someone to resolve any issues during our stay. I did send feedback the first day on many issues. He did say he would refund our cleaning fee. I should mention, the appliances were all clean and seemed to be good working order, the countertop in the kitchen was pretty. Decorations in the front room were also tasteful. The location was close to the beach and bike paths. But, with the smell, and other maintenance/deep cleaning issues it was not comfortable for our family to stay here.
