Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very well outfitted kitchen-wise (like who uses a food mill on vacation - but OK - cool that it was there). The refrigerator water 'change filter light' was on. The TV is SUPER small for the size of the space. I had a HUGE cockroach crawl under the primary bathroom door as I was in a compromised position - so not that great that. The front-desk personnel were lovely and welcoming, the people at the coffee/dessert place seemed to just be bracing themselves for people to have an issue with them or something about their food. VERY understaffed. The property needs more food options as there isn't really a lot close by. The pizza restaurant was good but also understaffed. We left onr rental one day to go do something and noticed just trays of half eaten pizzas on a table.. and when we got back some time later they were still there. The gift shop had some lovely items and was very high-end - I liked that there were unique items. We'd probably come back to CS (IF we returned to Port A)because it's the nicest property in the area - the beach staff did an AMAZING job of setting up and taking down chairs every night, and every time we saw them they greeted everyone very professionally. We didn't enjoy the way our unit was tucked around a corner and didn't really have a 'front view', but that did not really materially impact our stay, except for the fact that we couldn't find the entrance for about 10 minutes because it was not what we expected. The cabinets are starting to get pretty beat up in the unit, and I'm not really sure how 'clean' it was as when I got out of the shower one night I could see 'I see you' written on the mirror :/ - which I'm not going to lie was kind of unsettling - but we decided it was most likely just someone's idea of a prank (after thoroughly searching the unit just to make sure). The bed in the primary bedroom has a HUGE valley on the left side of the bed.. I felt like I fighting for my life in that valley every night.
