Great Location and Excellent Management, But the Unit Needs Some

June 2026

We rented this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath condo for one week and had an enjoyable stay overall. The location is excellent, the layout of the unit works very well, and we especially appreciated the privacy of the front patio. The beds were comfortable, making for a restful stay.

We've rented through Stubbs Property Management before and continue to be impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness. They are a pleasure to work with, and the complex itself is beautifully maintained.

That said, this particular unit could benefit from some attention. It could use a thorough deep cleaning, the shower leaks, and the dryer required several cycles to fully dry a load of laundry.
The primary bathroom (attached to the king bedroom) has a shower that leaks where the shower door meets the tile floor. Water seeped out during every shower, leaving puddles on the bathroom floor. It appears the shower may need new caulking or a replacement seal to prevent the leakage.

The biggest issue was the living room seating. The only seating for watching TV is a large sectional that has significant wear. Most of the reclining mechanisms are broken (only the two end seats function), and the cushions sag and tilt forward, making the sofa uncomfortable and, in several spots, unusable.

We were also surprised to find food left in the unit upon arrival, as we expected everything to have been cleared out between guests.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay because of the fantastic location, comfortable beds, and the outstanding service from Stubbs Property Management. With a few updates and better maintenance, this unit could easily match the high standard of the property management company and the surrounding complex.

Very easy move in, move out process. Stubbs always responsive to any requests, property maintenance issues and accepting temporary mail deliveries. Private parking spaces limited to one which can be challenging on the weekends
