Should have been offered compensation for not having the house we contracted for. Still not sure if it was no “Bait and switch “.

I tried posting this review on Florida Rentals, but it seems they only post reviews of better than 4 stars…. If your #1 concern is location, Villa A3 at the Kawama Yacht Club has that, however, the villa itself is poor and NOT as pictured or described. The photos are pre hurricane Irma and Norman Wartman does not present the villa’s condition or indoor/outdoor amenities accurately. The furnishings are second hand, old and uncomfortable. The mattresses old and soft of the edges. The kitchen is stocked with scratched and warped pots and pans, the crown molding is falling off the tops of the kitchen cabinets and the lighting is half functional. The master bath is old, never upgraded, the tub has molded grout and there is an old bidet next to the toilet. The hall bath and downstairs bath have been updated, but the work shabby. The towel bar in the hall bath was falling off the wall, sink faucet installed precariously and all baths were missing face clothes and hand towels. Towels provided were old. We were informed by neighbors the downstairs was destroyed by hurricane Irma, so it was the more updated area, although there was a dampness, the walls clammy, the shower-head leaking and the patio poorly repaired. The outdoor amenities such as rusty, broken bikes and kayaks and paddle boards missing seats and fins are available, but share among all of Norman’s clients. If you’re used to your own working, quality bikes, kayaks, etc, these will be very disappointing. Day one we gave a list to Norman of items needing Repair and were promised they would be. Some were taken care of, we fixed others ourselves and some like the leaking shower were never repaired in the month we were in Villa A3. Norman Wartman comes across as a caring landlord, but beware, his jokes will attempt to take your focus off the issues. Google Norman before renting from him. Again, location and view are great, the rest was very disappointing.
