Villa Del Sol #2138

DO NOT RENT HERE FOR YOUR SAFETY!!! There are no fire alarms and no sprinklers. This condo association is broke and owes contractors/vendors money. The property is nasty and full of bugs. There have been 3 fires in the last year if not more and due to the condition of the complex Villa Del Sol had Hazard insurance canceled last year. Each unit is owned by individual owners but they all know how bad it is at VDS. The new board says that the last Board of Directors took all the money but no charges were pressed over missing or mismanaged funds. This place is over 40 years old and is falling apart and a fire risk. I have watched this place go down for a long time＞ I can not stay silent and not warn people of the risk! Screen shots are from Owners and BOD telling owners what is going on with the situation.

I booked this prepaid thru Evolve Management. My unit was 3004. Upon arrival at Villa Del Sol the entire property and grounds were in poor condition. However the worst part was the unit 3004. Upon arrival it emitted a horrible odor when we opened the door and inside of the fridge was bad too. The air vents and ceiling fan were filthy. Back door lock was broken. We had to clean and put in air fresheners before we could stay. It was prepaid to the tune of $240.00 a night plus a cleaning fee plus and administrative fee so there was really nothing we could do. I contacted the owner and she was rude, said nothing we said was true. I then contacted Evolve management and they did nothing to correct the issue. Horrible, just horrible experience!!!!!!

I booked a unit two months in advance and paid. One week before, I received a cancelation note with no explanation. I called the condominium office, and they told me the owner needed the unit and when trying to explain my frustration, they keep telling me "it is their unit, they can do whatever they want". I understand the owner has control of the unit, but they should block the time they want to go and don't take reservations. I advise you not to book unit 3202 as the owner could change their mind at the last minute, and your vacation plans will be destroyed.

I will spare you the trouble. Hoped for a pleasant beach day with family, minimal cleanliness was not maintained on outside of building. Condo was adequate and clean, not sure how safe area is based on my visit and decorum of people in complex.

We stayed in a unit (2237) rented through Airbnb. We were looking for a cheap getaway, so we knew these were not luxury condos. Our unit was clean and comfortable and as updated as it could be. Great a/c, fast WiFi for multiple devices including streaming. The location is great and close to plenty of restaurants and attractions. The actual property itself is pretty run-down, though it’s clear they are in the middle of making renovations (painters and carpenters working daily). From other reviews it seems like we were lucky that the elevator worked for our whole stay. The corridors’ concrete was cracked and patched and honestly made me a little nervous. Hopefully the renovations happening currently give this place a structural and aesthetic facelift. If you’re not into frills and want a place to stay on the cheap, this will work!
