  Many, Many Problems

  Left on 03/25/2012 for a stay in March 2012
  
  

  The unit was not properly outfitted. I had to purchase pots, a can opener, wine opener, potato masher, paring knife. cheese grater, wine glasses, towels, facecloths, dishclothes, toilet brush and many, many other items to make it functional. Not even close to turnkey. I contacted the owner/manager to see if I could be reimbursed and she seemed agreeable. I emailed her the receipts of the items and have not heard anything. I am boxing this stuff up and donating it to charity when I leave here.
  I also let them know by email and in person that the kitchen sink was leaking about halfway through my 2 month stay. No response to that either.
  The only feature in the shower and bath that work is the "rainshower" head directly over your head. That's how you have to fill the tub too...had to buy a plug for the tub too or no bath for me!
  I was told that they don't rent to Spring Breakers in this complex, yet was kept awake for 4 solid nights by the kids partying beside me and above me.
  The hot tubs are heated by propane and only one actually heated. I got to use it twice in the entire 2 months. It seemed to be working fine while the partiers were here...too bad it was full of them.
  There are many nice places to rent on this island, just be careful not be in any place that has Spring Breakers. Some of them got completely out of control. Very sad when young people are hurt and killed over drinking.
