Went well

Had a maintenance issue with a patio door early on. Contacted them and they set up to review and repair in a timely manner. No disruption to my vacation stay. With the slightly cooler nights we enjoyed the hot tub every night.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
Our stay was exactly what we were hoping for — quick easy access to the beach and the pool. It also provided the perfect location for watching the most amazing sunsets.
The property offered luggage and grocery carts which were so helpful. We had a covered parking space which was nice as well.
It is convenient to restaurants bars and shopping.
There have been some reviews complaining about the AC. I don’t know if repairs were made or not but we did not have any issues with the AC. We kept the blinds closed until almost sunset and that helped tremendously. Keeping the blinds/curtains opened the house would heat up very quickly.
The only complaint is the mattresses. All of them need to be replaced. Otherwise the property is a tad dated but fully functional and again perfect if your objective is the beach.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2025
Great view, and typical Florida condo. Decor was nice, but needs some updating with doors and drawers. Need to upgrade glassware ( all plastic, no wine glasses). We picked this space as our son was on crutches and would need to work a few days. Unfortunately, there were some renovations and our view was blocked for a few days. And then they closed the pool the last 4 days to replace the pavers, so it was constant beeping of bobcats with lots of traffic moving back and forth- so not very relaxing and peaceful. We also had issues with no hot water the first two days, and issues with the cable and internet, but they were resolved quickly. We understand repairs and renovations need to take place, especially after the hurricanes, but there should be some monetary compensation for the inconveniences-as these were pretty significant. We did enjoy the area, and I would try this spot again, as it was a great location.
