Old Ladies Trip

My sister in law and I traveled with my 81 year old mother and 80 year old aunt. It was easy and close parking to the elevator and the condo. The condo was spacious and beautifully decorated. How've, it is past due for a deep cleaning. My bed in the double room was broken and uncomfortable. The carpet and shower needs cleaning. The kitchen was well equipped. The river is not accessible from Heron for those that can't climb stairs. You can get to it from the building next door. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the boats! Overall, we had a wonderful stay. With a few updates with deep cleaning and repairing the bed, I would highly recommend and would definitely return again.

This condo exceeded our expectations. Since we were three generations staying together, we had searched for a property that was not only large on the interior, but also offered the opportunity to spend time on the exterior. Thus, the balcony was huge and that is where we spent so much time overlooking the Bay. Management made check-in and check-out so easy. Everything was as it was described. Our thanks and gratitude!

Great for family or large group

Condo and facilities were exactly as described. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked including larger pots and pans and a slow cooker that came in handy for us. Everyone at Coastal Vibes was great to work with. Detailed instructions were sent before we arrived and provided quick response (within hours) to some minor issues that I thought would would be handled after we left.

We do an annual family trip each year and this one was the best. We had a party of 9 and this condo had plenty of space where everyone was not crowded. It was fully stocked. The location was wonderful and enjoyed not having to wait for elevators. My family wants to book this condo again for next year.

Overall fabulous

We were very pleased with our stay here. The condo was very spacious and comfortable. Check-in was as simple as it gets and management was quick to respond when we had a small issue. The balcony was, by far, my favorite! Quite expansive and the sunrise and sunset views were spectacular. The locations was wonderful, as well. As for the negatives, I question the cleanliness of the unit, especially the kitchen. It was a long, rather indirect path to the beach (although very close to the lazy river :). The beach chairs were very rusted and one was completely broken (but it was the end of the season, so that's understandable). Overall, near perfect accommodations. And I do feel that we could have had the unit cleaned again had we asked immediately.

Beautiful Trip Despite the Weather

Simple rental process, with clear and quick replies. We had poor weather for Florida (high 50's for most days, including a minor tropical storm) and the size of the condo and it's amenities provided ample opportunity for relaxation on our spring break. Would definitely do again.
