“Deposit never returned by owner”

Carlos Pointe Beach Club Condominiums

Sep 27, 2007

Our stay was OK for what we were seeking. However, we had difficulty establishing basic contact with the owner of Condo #412. We did not receive the key to the place until the week prior to our arrival. I made repeated attempts to determine exactly what exit conditions were required in order to get our $200 deposit returned...prior to occupancy. We followed it to the letter, even buying our own cleaning supplies and scrubbing down the kitchen ourselves. We left cleaning supplies there for the cleaning staff who were supposed to come in following our departure.

To date, we have not received our $200 deposit back from the owner, nor has the owner responded to any of our inquiries. In short, occupancy rates were mis-represented by the owner since they've determined to keep the deposit without notification.

We'll go somewhere else next time.

In reviewing my reservations for the month of May I did not have any reservations from guests who were from Michigan. I have the same guests returning to my condos year after year. We offer clean, updated, fully stocked 2 bedroom condos on one of the most scenic locations on Fort Myers Beach. Whoever these people are I am sorry that they had a less than satisfying experience. All of the deposits have been returned. If they have not received their deposit and if in fact they have stayed at our condo I wish they would contact me so that I may take care of this problem since there is no record of this. Carlos Pointe Beach Club is a destination for families, singles and couples. It has a beautiful beach and is within 6 miles of Times Square. We have many satisfied customers who have recommended our condos to others!!
Please check with the customer so that we can remedy any problems if in fact this is a guest of ours.
Thank you,

If I could give this place no stars I would. We were not told upon booking that the parking lot was being resurfaced while we were there and the elevator, stairwell and trash chute was out of order because of it. Naturally this happened to be on OUR end of the condo. The construction crew started early each morning (forget about sleeping) and there was dust and debris everywhere. (chunks of concrete and nails everywhere) We had to park on the total opposite end of the complex and the parking was limited. There were people with very young children who let them run screaming up and down the halls. The condo itself left a lot to be desired. The carpet was stained, the ceiling fan looked like it was in danger of coming out of the wall on our screened in porch. The paint was chipped and there was mold and mildew all over the bathrooms. It took us three days to get a parking pass. Every night we watched a group of rowdy teenagers from a house across the road cross the street and party on the beach til all hours of the night and generally run amok. Maybe it was supposed to be a private beach but we saw these same teenagers on the property using the facilitlies. The water was nasty and murky with a rank smell. Carlos Pointe is grossly overpriced. Do yourself a favor and stay in the middle of the island. The beaches and prices are nicer. They book up fast, though, which is why we forced to the crappy end of the island.

This condo building has much to be desired. It was built in the 80's and is showing it's age. It is on the far south end of the beach where there is nothing going on-(boring!) It took us 4 days to get a parking pass because there was no one in the office. There is no work out facility or anything else for kids or families to do here other than the beach and pool. The barbecue area is shared with other tenants (a small area off of the parking lot where you have to wait your turn to grill your food). The only upside to the actual condo that we stayed in was that there were two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a full kitchen. Unfortunately, the bathrooms and bedrooms are very small and cramped, and when this place was built, it was not wired for cable in the second bedroom (no TV). Whatever you do, DO NOT stay in condo #513. The shower curtains were moldy and the area rugs were old and filthy. The washer/dryer were tiny and inefficient . The "lanai" furniture was plastic and the chairs had cushions that were "bottomed out" so that you couldn't sit on them. The TVs were from very old and the remote was held together with tape. Obviously, the owners of this condo haven't put a dime into it in ages.
