Reviewer Comments:
The property manager was professional and very friendly to deal with. I had high hopes with the description and pictures but overall, the stay was not pleasant. We typically stay at the Hyatt each year we come to Clearwater, so our expectations were a little higher than normal, I guess. The good thing about this condo is the location. It's not near the busy hotels so getting a spot on the beach each day was easy. The water wasn’t as crowded either, which was nice. Parking was a breeze if we went to eat or shop. The owners really need to invest in better beds, new pillows that don't smell, blackout curtains and a new iron. My kiddos even complained about the beds/pillows and kids are usually resilient. Waking up each day with neck and back pain doesn’t lead to a good vacation. The washer always had sand in the tub after each wash even when my clothes didn’t have sand on or in them. The sand must be embedded in the drum and needs a good cleaning. Luckily, the owners had a small vacuum near so I could vacuum out the drum between loads. The iron is missing the cover for the water so if it’s set down too quick, water leaks all over the ironing board and clothes being ironed. The hot water heater is turned down so low that the entire family couldn’t enjoy hot or even warm showers at night. As another review mentioned there is a sign about not turning the thermostat past 72. This wasn’t an issue for us since 72 seemed too cold at times. We will stay where we typically stay when we return to Clearwater next year even though it is more expensive.
