I'll begin my review by noting that the individual who rented this unit in August encountered issues that may have contributed to the problems we found. I don’t like posting a negative review but need to be truthful about the condo’s condition.
Five adults – my husband, two sons, daughter-in-law and I -- spent Christmas week at Turquoise Waters. Upon arrival we found the slider's large screen door propped up on the balcony. Our son tried to put it back on its track but was unable to make it stay. The screen remained an eyesore and a hazard, and prevented us from opening the slider to cooling breezes.
Bathrooms were clean and beds appeared freshly made, but the kitchen was far from immaculate. Counters were gritty and sticky, and food adhered to the stove top. I used granite and ceramic cleaners on those surfaces; the paper towels I used turned brown. The flip-top trashcan was gross. The upper kitchen cabinets and china cupboard contained such a mishmash of stuff that I took everything out, removed the junk and organized them so we could find what we needed.
Floors were an issue; my husband wiped up several dried-on spills, and we both tried to overlook the crud in the corners and dirt along the baseboards. The balcony floor was filthy; the soles of our bare feet turned black when we walked on it.
Previous renters remarked on the abundance of towels, so we were surprised to find only six bath towels. I washed the four white ones right away because they were stained -- unfortunately, the stains didn't come out. We were at a loss when we found just two beach towels for the five of us.
The condo needs TLC, as a previous reviewer noted. Kitchen walls need to be scrubbed or repainted, and broken blinds replaced. A supply of light bulbs would’ve been helpful so we could replace the ones that had burned out. Also needed are a good wipe-down of cabinet interiors, a thorough dusting of décor items and replacement of the soiled floor mats in the kitchen. A final note: It would be useful to have a second towel bar and/or shelves and hooks in the hall bath (over the toilet?). The room is tiny with only one small towel bar and no counter space.
On the plus side, the spacious condo is well located (both within the complex and on the island), with fabulous views, plenty of parking, comfy beds, lots of seating and excellent temperature control. The unit is well-equipped with tableware, cookware, utensils and appliances. The washer-dryer is a huge plus.
