It was a beautiful place and the decor was very nice. Everything worked perfectly for us in the condo!!I should’ve read the fine print on the listing that to access the amenities of Pointe West including pools and beach, the guest is responsible for paying 25 per guest for wristbands. My bad because in previous stays at other condos here this was taken care of as part of the condo payment.Also note that this condo does have direct access to the small pool/ lazy river, but is located across the street and a little trek (definitely not walkable) from the Pointe West beach access, larger pool area, restaurant, gym etc. Additionally, the gym and children’s play area were under renovation and not accessible during our stay. If these are important to you, I would call the main number for Pointe West to ensure that all of the facilities are available for use before booking. The gym closure was a bit of an issue for us as two of our guests were planning on daily workouts.Obviously this is not the fault of the owner, but again could’ve been part of my own research.Overall, the stay was highly enjoyable!!

The space and the updates are what made this visit amazing. There was plenty of room for all of us and never felt crowded. 4 adults and 2 littles (5 &7). We even had other family drop in for meals and a game and we still had plenty of room. The location to the lazy river was perfect for a quick to and from the pool. I loved that I could take long walks along the paths available. There was an A/C issue; however, the owner was quick to respond and did try to get it looked at. Praise the Lord the A/C kind of worked itself out as we were there and it wasn't pleasant the majority of our trip. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

The condo was just as advertised immaculately clean, and had everything you need for a getaway
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2022
We enjoyed our time at this property but could not get over how dirty it was. 1) there was dust on every open shelf in the property 2) there was white dog hair everywhere (we do not have a dog) 3) the couches were not cleaned/vacuumed - crumbs everywhere and the carpet needs some serious help. There were nails sticking out in the carpet by the master to the point I had to put a towel down, nasty stains (probably pet urine) etc. I would stay in this complex but probably not this same unit again.
