It was okay

I never like to ball out when it comes to beach condos / hotels simply because we do not go to the beach to stay in a hotel. However, when we do book, we expect certain basic things to work and flow. CONS: 1. Check-in time is at 4pm. Nothing says “Beginning” at 4pm or from 4pm - 6pm. It says 4pm in black and white. After driving 6 hours and timing our grocery pickup at 3:30, we expected to check-in at 4pm. We didn’t get to check in until 5pm. We had cold groceries and no where to put them. When I called, they said, “It begins at 4pm.” I told them that was not accurate. 2. The refrigerator didn’t work. It never was cold. We had groceries that were ruined and gross because one, they didn’t get put away, and two, when they did, the refrigerator didn’t work. We called maintenance and the guy came in and said, “these are just old. There isn’t much we can do.” Ummmmm okay! 3. The elevator situation is a total nightmare. We waited on elevators literally 15-20 minutes. They move extremely slow. 4.There is no washer & dryer in the unit FYI. 5. We found a half-eaten little Debbie confeti brownie under one of the kids’ bunk pillows. The top one to be exact. PROS: 1. The beds were comfy. 2. For a last minute booking, the price was decent. 3. Check-in process is simple (if you can get checked in on-time.) Will not be coming back to this location.

Beautiful view with excellent beach access.

Condo had everything we needed. Staff was excellent. Furniture was somewhat worn but wouldn’t keep me from renting again.

Good for families

We had a great time. The condo was clean and fit us perfectly. It is a little older but it is updated. Perfect location. I do wish they had a hot tub. Only negative. But everything else was great.

A bit run down

The elevator situation is horrible. They take a long time and got stuck several times while I was there. Our refrigerator didn’t even close. Didn’t keep food cold. My milk actually spoiled. The condo was ok for a lil 2 day getaway with the kids but not sure if we will ever go back there.

Spring break with granddaughters.

Property was nice but bathroom floor in the corners was dirty. The elevators were terrible had to wait for a long time. I finally called security last night because of the upper suite people had been so noisy all thru each night either opening and closing the sliding patio door, sliding bar stools across the floor and loud during the night. Beach was nice but I would not stay at this property again. We are VRBO owners also and understand some of the problems.

Great for the price!

For my husband and I, the price and size was perfect. In an effort to save money and spend more time at the beach, we always eat breakfast and lunch at the condo. However, there was no skillets at all (4 spatulas though), no pizza pan (2 pizza cutters) and only 2 forks. But, I would definitely stay again. I'd just scout out the kitchen better before I went shopping.

The unit was very nice. The building was obnoxiously noisy.

The unit was nice. Everything operated well. Everything except the floor was nicely cleaned. The tile floor was only broom clean and left feet and socks very dirty. The building made obnoxious noise in the air vent systems and from the wind against the building possibly due to proximity to roof. When the wind changed direction and came from inland the unit door whistled loudly and leaked air terribly. We had one day of stormy weather but the wind noise happened throughout even normal wind conditions.

You get what you pay for

The people there were very nice and helpful. The only light bulbs available were incandescent light bulbs. These bulbs cause migraines and I had a headache ever day until I went to buy new light bulbs. They were renovating the condos and were getting ready to paint until I called the office and told them that I have Pulmonary Hypertension, which is a heart and lung disease, and I can't be around chemicals. She called and they stopped painting next door. Like I said the people were very nice and accommodating. However, one of the gentlemen and one of the women who work there do smoke on the property, even though there are no smoking signs everywhere and I had to sign a form stating that I would not smoke on the condo or on the balcony. We smelled smoke in our condo a couple of times and once I did call the office and report it. She asked me which condo and I didn't know which condo, but she said she would look into the problem. The furniture is cheap and not comfortable. They do have cushions, but the cushions are hard. Also the wooden furniture on the balcony is not favorable for people who lounge there during the day. This was the best deal financially, but I will pay a little more next time. I have stayed in more comfortable hotel rooms, and technically this is a hotel. Having the cleaning service daily if you wanted it was a nice option and they did replace toilet paper, towels, paper towels, and garbage bags.

Pretty nice

Nice property. Everything worked as it should. However, the entire place reeked of marijuana. Almost like the people that stayed before us smoked weed in it. Leaving the balcony door open for a little bit helped but it was very strong when we first walked in.
