First I want to say the bible verses on the shells are the best thing about our stay. The property was clean and cute. We spent a lot of time out on our balcony, if not on the beach. The bed was amazingly soft. There wasn’t much storage for food or in the clothes along with tight spaces in the bathroom. The doors to the patio are really hard to open, not sure why but have never had this issue at other places we have stayed at in the past 5 years we have came. Thank you for allowing us into your condo.

We truly enjoyed our stay! The condo was beautiful and exceptionally comfortable. It felt so private and quiet. The beds were big and so comfortable. We enjoyed the balcony overlooking the beachfront. Access to the beach was a short, convenient walk which was perfect for us. We appreciated the supplied beach cart to bring chairs, tent, and cooler to the beach. Even the elevator was quick and easy. I would certainly rent this property again.

Beautiful views and powder sand white beach

Our stay in 1503 was fantastic. We drank coffee on the balcony in the mornings watching the sunrise and dolphins. The condo was comfortable and had great amenities including fridge/freezer with ice maker, stove and washer/dryer. The beds were comfortable and having two showers was so helpful. We appreciated the starter pack of supplies as well as the hair dryer, pots/pans, dishes etc. We enjoyed pool and outdoor hoses to rinse off after the ocean time. Wonderful location and not too busy on the beach.

Perfect escape!

The condo was exactly as listed. The building and amenities were all in excellent condition. Most people were not following any social distancing and most likely not washing their hands. I avoided the very packed restaurants and stores. So many germ laden children 😐 The beach was pristine! Cannot wait to escape here again!

fantastic place to stay. our only issue is with the door in living room that when you go out, you have to use a wash cloth to keep shut..this is our 3rd year to use this condo; first year no issue, but last year, 2023, we had to do this, sent email regarding this when we got home, but then, same issue this year. not that big of a deal for sure, but really a nuisance when you want to make sure the cool air doesn't escape. we did have tv issues but a tech was there very fast to fix the problems.

Nasty

There was a very bad smell coming from the sink. The furniture was stained and also smelled. There was little room in the bedrooms, bathrooms and living area despite the pictures showing plenty of space. The guest room in particular was so cramped that to get out bed it was necessary to step in the bathroom. There were piles of popcorn, mouse droppings and crumbs everywhere. I sent photos and a complaint about the smell within 18 hours of our arrival and did not receive a response. Over all, everything from the non hot tub to the pool, was a disappointment.

Location and Service get an "A", condo room gets a "C"

This location is great. The property managers were responsive and quickly got us missing parking passes. Check in/out was easy. Location to Food and entertainment it wonderful.The condo was clean, roomy and everything the pictures showed. The reason(s) I am bumping it down to 3 stars is the dryer never dried our clothes - even when I put 1 pair of pants in there and repeatedly cleaned the lint filter. Secondly, the mattresses are extremely uncomfortable. Especially the master mattress. But, the AC worked great, dishwasher was great. Water heater was great - we were able to take two quick showers back to back without loss of hot water. I would definitely recommend to young friends whose back's wont hurt so bad after they leave. Mattresses often seem to be the one place owners try to save money - when a bad mattress can really ruin a trip. No one like to carry beach chairs all week when their back is in knots.

Storage

We stayed for 41 days. First off our code for the door didn’t work then Previous renters apparently had seafood in the freezer that leaked and froze. I called the rental company three times and they finally sent someone to clean it but it still stunk. We bought baking soda and and changed daily . Still no luck! We had to be careful what we stored foods in because it absorbed the smell. My husband had to fix the toilet because it wasn’t secure. There was no storage for any groceries. the closets were so jammed with stuff, shelves and floors we had no room for our things except what we hung. Pots and pans had no lids that fit. Couch was dirty and about the only place to sit with any comfort. We ended up renting a comfortable chair for the month. Other than all that we did enjoy sitting on the deck watching the dolphins. Also sunrise and sunsets.
