To start, you can check in early if you pay a fee. Slightly confusing initially since I got a call from one of the property managers (I was in contact with 3 of them for some reason) saying that I did not upload my photo ID, however in searching emails and VRBO messages, I couldn’t find the instruction to do so. Not a big issue though.
Before arriving, I had asked if there was a regular coffee maker in the condo which I was told there was, but there was only a Nespresso machine instead. I ended up buying a “Mr. Coffee” type machine since we wanted several cups of coffee to drink in the mornings. I had to buy wine glasses (at a tasting) since the condo only had one wine glass and two champagne flutes. The condo is advertised as having a washer, but the laundry machines are located outside near the pool area which is close by.
Lastly, the neighbor’s outside porch light shines very brightly into front door window. If you’re sleeping on the sofa pull out bed, bring a sleeping eye shade.
On the plus side, the condo was situated in a nice neighborhood and good location, easy to drive to many places.
