The elevator wait sucks. 20-30 minutes wait in a regular basis, sometimes longer. Even the owners complain about them. The rate is way over priced.
We booked a last minute long weekend and this gem was available. I didn’t read the fine print about a security deposit and needed to switch the card that was on file. I explained the situation and our host was so helpful and less than 24 hours later my problem was completely solved. Upon arrival check in was a breeze, our host was the most accommodating host we have ever had. The condo was fully stocked with anything we could have possibly needed. The bed was so comfortable, my teen loved the pull out couch, my boys loved the bunk beds. The water pressure was a dream. With it being a short trip we didn’t get to experience all the resort had to offer butthe resort itself was great. The pools were great for the kiddos while mama had a drink and lounged about. Easy beach access, the indoor pool was nice. Very close to pier park and sharkys. Seriously guys book this location!
