Blissful Bay

Condo clean, view beautiful. We have been coming vacationing at Runaway Bay since 1993. Very familiar with location and area. This is the first condo at Runaway I felt was very short on basic house hold needs. No scratch paper, pens or pencils. Absolutely no salt/ pepper, basic kitchen needs. We are accustomed to having a few paper plates, garbage bags, a few laundry soaps, dishwasher soaps. Things to get us over the first day, move in chaos. It’s an additional expense to add coffee filters and basic needs. Items we’ve always had. Overall I felt the condo itself was welcoming but the lack of any basic household needs wasn’t. Judy Bird

Runaway Bay Condo

*Property managers were very accommodating and easy to deal with *Condo only came with THE basics ~ other rentals we’ve stayed in the past had things like leftover trash bags, Ziplock baggies, laundry soap, coffee filters and other things that were left behind and that was nice because we didn’t have to buy everything *so many ants everywhere ~ maybe some baits? Had a bad scare in the bedroom with some large groups of ants because we thought they were bed bugs!! *many beach supplies were in the closet
