Great central location nice update condo easy check in great beach

My wife and I rented for a 4 night get away in late September. The main reasons we picked this place was based on it being on the beach, the view, & the balcony. Those aspects of it were great and just as we had hoped. The unit is on the 3rd floor, so the view of the ocean and watching the sunrises each morning was excellent. We saw dolphins a couple of times. The furniture on the balcony was a big plus. 2 cushioned chairs and 2 elevated chairs which allow for looking out towards the ocean without having the balcony railing in your view. The location on the beach was excellent as well & only a short walk. So for the reasons that we chose this unit, we were very happy. The parking and security were very good as well. We can not give it a 4/5 star rating as most people have, when basing our review on the entire place. It is very out dated, more so than we expected from the pictures. The bathroom sink has rust in it. I would have to question how thoroughly it is cleaned. There were hairs in the bathtub when we first arrived. Some mildew was inside the bottom corner of the shower liner where the magnets are. The tub drain didn’t drain well and water backs up into the tub. This didn’t happen during showers, but did when trying to just wash feet off and running water out of spout for a longer period. A couple of the bowls that I got out of the kitchen cabinet to use were dirty. Some of the chairs in the living room have the paint coming off of them. The coffee maker worked, but the heating element the pot sits on is covered in rust. Other issues that we also had: When we rented, there was a DVD player listed in the amenities. It has since been removed from that list. There was a DVD player, but it wasn’t hooked up and was in a drawer. It could only be hooked up to small 24” TV in the bedroom, but not the nice big TV in the living room. This was disappointing. We had planned on watching a couple of movies that we brought. I almost brought my own DVD player until I read that the unit had one. The security light outside lit up the bedroom at nighttime. I cut up a cardboard box and set it behind the curtain on the windowsill while we were there which blocked some of the light out. In the kitchen, I couldn’t open the drawers by the refrigerator to access silverware because the drawers hit the fridge. The level of cleanliness was less than expected and the level of wear was more than expected in the otherwise quaint unit based on prior reviews.
