The building is on a beautiful, quiet stretch of Madeira Beach! Sadly, all the balconies are screened in, which makes enjoying the view difficult. You must gather at a “window" in the screen to really see out. Many of the units have fans on theirs, not this one, which means the balcony is hot and uncomfortable for long stretches. We were highly disappointed as we were looking forward to spending lots of time out there. Overall, the condo is outdated. Updated kitchen just meant quartz countertops. The cabinets are original and the appliances old. Dishwasher doesn’t work on the "normal" cycle, luckily we discovered "pot scrubber" works, others probably don’t. You're supposed to run it before you leave, but I suspect the cleaning staff just puts dirty items into cabinets because the light shows “done.” There are lots of pots, dishes and cups but all needed to be washed before use. Bathrooms are in dire need of updates and two of the three sinks don’t have stoppers; I was terrified I'd lose an earring! Primary shower has lots of mildew stains and shower door doesn’t close well, making it hard to shower without getting water everywhere. The AC is great in the living room, but barely works in the primary bedroom. Thankfully, we found a fan in one of the other rooms, which helps, but that room is in serious need of a ceiling fan!The worst part about the condo is the cleanliness. There weren't any paper towels when we got there (I've never stayed somewhere and not gotten one roll). There were drips on the cabinet fronts which we couldn't even wipe upon arrival. The primary bedroom's coverlet was dirty or stained, at the top; thankfully we were able to cover it by folding over the sheet. The throw blanket also had a few brown spots on it. It appears only the sheets were changed but the other bedding isn't... gross under normal circumstances, but during COVID made us uneasy. For almost $5k a week,
