Aventura Lux-5 Bedrms-4 Baths-Heated Pool-for 12

The house was not what we expected. The laundry was broken and not advertised. The house was very old

We had to ask for towels, toilet paper and trash bags throughout our stay. There is a washing machine at the property, but it's not working so we had to go to a laundry mat to clean our clothes which was not ideal. The master bathroom tub faucet was broke. Then, they did not have any pots or pans that worked with the induction stovetop, so we had to ask for the correct pans to be delivered so we could cook at the property. We enjoyed taking nightly walks in the neighborhood. Location was convenient. It was a spacious house for our entire party. But they could definitely do some updates. Such as painting and flooring.

I want to start by mentioning things I misunderstood that aren’t the property manager’s fault but future guests should know. The location isn’t near the beach—it’s in a gated community with two gates and about a 25–30 minute drive to the ocean. The washer has been out of order since December 2024. While it’s not listed as an amenity, I assumed there would be one and packed accordingly. It might help to note on the listing that there’s no working washer. The layout is odd: two bathrooms are tiny, there’s a screened turf area with patio furniture that floods when it rains, and no dressers in any bedroom. Our room didn’t even have hangers or a rod to hang clothes, just dirty shelves.As for management issues: there are four bathrooms but only three showers, not as advertised. The bunk room shower didn’t drain, and one toilet broke near the end of our stay. The master bath had no hot water until I reached out. Someone named Chris called to inform us to run the cold first for 5 minutes and then switch to hot, which oddly fixed it. The induction stovetop only worked with a few beat-up pans, and the bar stools in the living room barely fit under the bar, so they couldn’t be used.For the price, we were disappointed. The house has potential but needs a deep clean and better upkeep. We have stayed at better more up-kept properties for less money. The pool was beautiful, clean, and heated—easily the best part of the stay.

Our stay at this property was overall a good one. The location was great, being that it was in a gated community, quiet, close to many places of interest and just off I95. We liked that the home's layout had ample areas for gathering whilst maintaining a closed door separation, providing added privacy, leading to the bedrooms.The property manager was responsive and sent someone to fix/adjust the sliding of the pocket door, check the ac that was not cooling on one side of the house and provided extra towels. The property can use some minor updates and as advertised, there is a dryer and no washer. There is a sign to not use the washing machine that's there. Also, there is actually only 3.5 bathrooms as the one off the kitchen has no shower.
