1st - the pictures no longer represent the current look of the condo. There is no view of the pool from the screened in porch because trees obscure the pool. The furniture is rather out of date though the mattresses are quite comfortable. The are large holes in the screening on the porch. The pictures show a bar area and a restaurant but none of that is there.
2nd - When we arrived, the gate was open so we went to the building where our unit was located. The elevator did not work and our condo was on 4th floor! Went to the front desk. She said no one had reported it (though people told us it had been out for over a week) and that they could do nothing, it was an HOA issue. She did report it. We contacted the management company and we emailed the owner. We were very explicit that my husband has two knee replacements and a heart stent and walking up flights of stairs was not an option. Had it not been for neighbors and people who worked at the property, we would have never gotten our belongings to the condo. Next morning, there were four trucks there fixing the elevator and the lights in the elevator.
3rd - The door lock is not complicated but the code did not work at first. It required a second code.
4th - There is a musty smell, especially in the bathrooms and at the sink. I bought some Pine Sol and plug in air fresheners and that helped.
5th - I don’t know how often sheets and mattress covers are changed when they think no one has slept on them. I noticed an odor in the bedroom with bunks and the twin bed. Checking I found smelly sheets and pee stained mattress cover. I ended up washing everything in all three bedrooms.
6th - There are enough supplies for two dishwasher loads (the soap holder inside the dishwasher is broken), enough soap for two washers of clothes. We bought extra of everything, garbage bags, paper towels, bathroom tissue.
7th - Location is everything and location was great for everything we were there for - soccer at ChampionsGate. We always felt safe in our surroundings, there were great restaurants nearby and plenty of activities. I 4 is a nightmare but that is not the owners fault.
Would I go back? Probably not because we won’t have a need to. Can we recommend it to someone? We are not sure about that. There needs to be some serious cleaning, blinds for example are caked with dust, light doesn’t work above the washer drier, hard to get the shower to work in the second bathroom. Badly in need of updating.
