This property is a complete scam and should be removed from every rental platform. I booked this dump based on a listing full of AI-generated fantasy photos and flat-out lies—and what I got was closer to a condemned building than a vacation rental. The one-bedroom unit was advertised to sleep four. Reality? One bed and a broken, child-sized futon that wouldn’t support a house cat, let alone a human. The place looked nothing like the listing. It was so bad they actually moved us to a two-bedroom unit—which was also disgusting. Filth. Mold. Rust. Holes in the walls. Stained bedding. A broken elevator. There were items left behind by previous guests, grime caked into surfaces, and appliances that looked like they’d been fished out of a junkyard. And no—this wasn’t a cleaning oversight. It was decades of neglect disguised as “hospitality.” Even worse, once we pointed this out, the staff knew the listing was inaccurate. They moved us without question, which tells you everything. That’s not customer service—it’s damage control. After this mess, I checked the reviews and—surprise!—tons of guests have reported the same thing. One person said, “Photos are misleading. The apartment is in terrible condition.” Another said, “The property was not as advertised and filthy.” So it’s not just me. This is a pattern of deception and the host has clearly been getting away with it for a long time. Oh, and I’ve only gotten a partial refund—despite leaving the property entirely and pay for new accommodations out of pocket due to concerns for my health. So to the host: if you’re reading this and want this review gone, give me the refund I’m due. Otherwise, I’ll keep posting the pictures and videos I took, share them with VRBO and my credit card company, ensure the code compliance department is aware, and ensure no one else falls for your bait-and-switch operation. This isn’t a vacation rental—it’s a health code violation with a booking link. Shame on the host, and shame on any platform that lets them continue renting.

Great price, nice pool and close to beach! Our stay was really nice and the service was great. The apartment did not come with enough towels, but after asking the staff provided. The dishwasher did not work, so we bought paper plates and hand washed the silverware. The AC was great, especially since the days were so hot. When showering, you need to let the water run for about 3-5 min before it comes out warm/hot. The pool was awesome, although the last day we were staying something broke and was green, so they were going to repair the following day. The beach is so close, only a 5-10 minute walk and was beautiful, although there were lots of jelly fish so we had to swim out far. Overall for the price and location it was worth it!
