The condo itself was great. It is a smaller property with only 3 floors in 2 buildings, plus the neighborhood of houses. Due to this, the beach was less crowded and quieter. They have armed security on site which is a plus.
Here are negatives...
They have 2 boardwalks to the beach, only one of them is "cart friendly," meaning no steps to deal with. The cart friendly boardwalk had a lot more people near it on the beach. The condos are about twice as far off the beach as most others, so you dont hear the ocean as much, and its hard to watch the dolphins and whales play from the balconies due to the distance. The final downsidenis not so much with the property as it is with Beachball. Beachball (company handling this units rental) was good for the most part. However, on the day we were checking out, I found two citations from the property for $100 each on my vehicles. When I stopped at the office, the reason was that Beachball did not provide us with the correct parking passes. The security guards alerted the Property manager to this early in our stay, and they claimed they alerted Beachball to this as well, and insisted Beachball provide us with the corrext passes. Beachball never contacted us or provided us with them. The first I heard about this issue was upon finding the citations. I went to the office and after some discussion, the property manager said she wouldn't hold us accountable for the citation amd she would make Beachball pay them. According to the manager, it is HOA policy that non property assigned passes be accepted, and a citation is required if its not the proper ones. Dealing with security and the property manager on this was great...but Beachball should have known better. When I spoke to a Beachball representative, they claimed to have no idea what i was talking about.
