Didn't know the painters were coming...
We had stayed at this location once before and knew we liked the unit overall.
Big Issue: During our entire stay painters were painting the outside of the building & back deck. The outdoor furniture cushions were inside the unit & outside furniture was piled up outside. This affected us daily (constantly stepping around painters/tarps/debris), no use of outside water for cleaning up after the beach, and limited use of our space (namely the deck - the best benefit of this condo). We were not upset strictly because this was happening, but that there was no concession as to this large inconvenience whatsoever. If it was my unit, I would have pre-warned the renters (the owner certainly knew it) and would have offered some type of a discount. This was not a minor inconvenience. Instead I simply got a "We're sorry" from the rental agency telling us that the owner did not let them know about the painting and that our contract says that things like this could happen.
2nd: No blinds/curtains on either of the unit's sliding doors. The sun in the morning just streams in with no way to block it. One morning I had to wake my daughter early so that there wouldn't be grown men right outside her bedroom working on her deck while she was sleeping.
My takeaway is that you are taking a chance renting here knowing if there are outside issues it's your problem. However, painting a building is rare. The lack of blinds would be my biggest hindrance to renting again.
