Our family of 5 adults stayed in this unit for a week in late August 2022. While the unit served our purpose for our stay, we were a bit disappointed in the condition of the house, as well as some of the appointments. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but we have stayed in many, much nicer houses in the area at a more reasonable rate. Pros: the beds are comfortable, and the furniture in the living area is comfortable and accommodated our family of five. Cons: The house just needs some love. Furniture in the 1st floor bedroom was in disrepair, the kitchen is not well equipped (lacking a med/large skillet, baking sheets and cutting boards were disgusting, no decent knives, etc), the appliances are basic and old, out of three irons in the unit only one worked, all of the air intake vents were filthy and filters needed to be replaced, food and crumbs under all of the couch cushions, food on the kitchen floor under the cabinets, the glass tops on the furniture were not cleaned, we found several used bandaids, the tile in the master shower needs to be replaced (grout is grungy and coming apart), the master bathroom smells foul, carpets could use cleaning, the furniture on the balcony is old and splintered. The stairway leading from the parking area to the first floor smells disgusting and desperately needs ventilation.
All this being said, the house is in a good location as long as you aren’t bothered by the sounds of kids playing in the pool. It really didn’t bother us. Overall, the house just didn’t live up to the standard we have come to expect for the price we paid. As far as the cleaning issues go, the last thing we want to do after a 6 hour drive is come into a unit and call the management company and have to wait for someone to come address cleaning issues. That is an imposition we are never interested enduring. We just expect for things to be clean when we arrive. Hope this review helps both the owners and future vacationers.
Note: If you rent beach chairs and umbrellas, use the company that rents directly in front of Grand Pavillion. We used IOP rentals and had to walk a pretty good distance to our chairs. And IOP didn’t deliver our rental 2 out of 6 days. We had to call them and wait for someone to bring our chairs.
