My stay at this condo was extremely disappointing. As soon as I arrived, I noticed sand all over the condo even though I had not been to the beach yet. The cleanliness was unacceptable. There were stains on the bed, trash underneath the bed, and a red substance on the bottom of one of the chairs.

The maintenance issues were just as bad. While I was using the shower, the faucet came off, making it difficult to use the bathroom properly. On top of that, lights were turning on by themselves, which was both strange and concerning.

Overall, the condo was dirty, poorly maintained, and not at all what I expected. This was a terrible experience, and I would never stay here again or recommend it to others.

Also, when i reported all the things that were happening at the condo i got no response. the management at this place is absolutely trash and don’t care. UNEXCEPTIONABLE EXPERIENCE

Our experience with Avari Management was extremely frustrating from start to finish. They changed our room twice, which completely disrupted our stay. When we first arrived at the initial unit, it took over an hour just to get inside because the lock information they provided was incorrect and their response time was very slow. After finally getting access, the unit was filthy and clearly not cleaned properly, so we had to contact them again.

They then moved us to another unit, but that process also took a long time and required more waiting and back-and-forth communication. Despite all of the inconvenience, delays, and the condition of the first property, no compensation or resolution was offered.

Overall, the experience felt very poorly managed and stressful, especially when you're just trying to enjoy a trip. I would strongly recommend future guests be cautious when booking with Avari Management.
