Amazing bay view!

Condo is in a great location and has amazing bay views! Location is very convenient. However, there was sand on the floor in the kitchen and in the shower in the master bathroom when we arrived so cleaning wasn’t very thorough. Beds are super hard and uncomfortable. Overall we had a great vacation!

Great unit in Thunder Island

Very nicely redone condo with gorgeous kitchen and ample amenities. Have stayed at Thunder Island for 20 years in various units and this one is top notch. One suggestion - more bathroom towel racks. Also if there was a folding beach towel rack I did not see it.

A few small glitches

Instructions for TV in each room desperately needed as each was different. Hard time getting things to 5th floor when told there were carts A simple dolly in front closet would have helped this senior citizens as n. Rental agency told me this was on second floor. Enjoyed my stay just not totally enjoyable.
