Shores #65: 2 BR /2 BA Sleeps 6

This was my family’s 4th stay at The Shores and again, we enjoyed our stay.

Very nice complex with a common patio where we watched the outstanding total eclipse with all our new best friends.

Mike responded to every question promptly. Did not get to use pool and hot tub due to bad weather but both looked very nice.

I’ll start with the things we liked about this property. The location and grounds were great and made the trip more enjoyable. However, for what we paid we were disappointed in the condo itself. It looks nicer in the listing and is extremely dated with furniture that has to be decades old, some even has holes in it. It was visibly clean, but really needs a deep clean (this is not a reflection of housekeeping). Our toddler’s feet were black within an hour of arriving on our first day. The biggest issue has been mentioned in recent reviews that we did not see until after we had booked the property. There is no central air, just a window AC in each bedroom and they cannot keep up with the summer heat. The living room was almost always hot, while the bedrooms were cooler. Even more concerning, our kids had to sleep in the second bedroom and the door could not even be locked because the AC was built into part of the doorframe. Had we realized all of this, we would have never paid what we did to rent this property. We really enjoyed the area and will probably be back, just not to this condo.
