Roami at Sunny Isles

I can't do cockroaches! I was willing to accept some wear and tear, fixtures not working properly, window treatments that did not cover the window and a bed that was worn, but roaches - no thank you. I even hoped the roaches were incidental due to weather, then I read another review when I got home that shared a similar experience. The night before our last night, I contacted management to handle a complete mess of roaches under the couch. The couch had obvious stains, but I traveled with my own couch cover. While watching TV, I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. My husband moved the sofa and the roaches scattered as roaches do when they are exposed. I just always believe places could have a bug or two so thank God I had Raid. This was more than a few roaches. I contacted management who assured me someone would be there to handle this problem, and once again a polite lie no one came. I then had to unpack all of my belongings, wash my things and repack to ensure I did not bring bugs home with me. The experience ruined our trip. The pictures accurately depict the staged rooms, and picturesque views from the rooftop. But they do not show the buggy uncleaned pool, the stained sofa, the broken chair leg at the table, the unbalanced bed with broken slats, the cabinet off the hinge in the kitchen, the gnats that were initially everywhere in the kitchen, nor the uncleaned spillage on the master bathroom cabinet, and they certainly do not show the roach and residue under the sofa! Buyer beware! It was close to the beach. There was free parking and it is close to great restaurants and stores to get raid and cleaning supplies to make the place livable. Perhaps that's the price one has to pay to spend time in paradise!

Overall the apartment is well designed, spacious, and bright. It is clearly in desperate need of maintenance, however…. Many of the kitchen cabinet doors are hanging from the hinges and don’t close completely. The closet doors did not operate and kept popping off the tracks. Paint was peeling and the exterior window frames were rusty. The exterior light on the outside deck was completely rotted away. It was also a recent repair done to the bathroom ceiling, there was never sanded or painted. It was covered in mold. The general condition of the interior was below average. Location is very nice, and the attempt at customer service with a virtual concierge and a digital information board was very good, but the condition of the apartment was not up to snuff
