DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTYProperty DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE PHOTOS. This is not a condo, not is it "stunning" — it's a rundown apartment with no view and no easy beach access (nearest public access is a 25-minute walk). We arrived to a unit that smelled terrible, was dirty, had significant black mold in the bathroom, broken blinds, a bathroom door that doesn't lock, and an AC so loud you can't hear the TV.My son has asthma and had to sleep at another family's home for 2 nights because of the mold. After-hours support was useless — apparently I was texting someone outside the country who, after hours of texting, told me no one was available on weekends during spring break - arguably the busiest time of year in Siesta.Management repeatedly insisted a maid could "clean" the mold. Obviously not how you handle black mold. I eventually had to buy the correct paint myself to get them to take any kind of action to deal with mold. I was told I couldn't use it without owner permission. They eventually sent someone — I'm not convinced they used the right paint because the mold was still visible, and the vents, i'm sure, are full of black mold.Their resolution after spending hours on the phone with Vrbo and Beachside Mgmt on Sunday? Pack up 4 kids and move units twice during my vacation (no thanks) or accept 350 and sign a permanent GAG ORDER I declined both. I've consulted an attorney for an actual refund.DO NOT RENT HERE. YOU WILL REGRET IT.
