Great week on the beach

This condo was clean and looked just as nice as the pictures. Our favorite part was the great furniture and amazing views from the balcony. We would definitely return to this condo. The only negative is that the sliding door to the bunk room was off one of the slides making it very difficult for our kids to slide the door open and close. We contacted Vacasa who were very responsive to texting, but we never actually heard back from anyone from maintenance. It was a minor inconvenience and didn't take much away from our wonderful week.

Great resort. Easy access to the beach.

Love the area and the resort, the room 517 was wonderful . Check in was so easy. The only thing I would loved to have hangers in the master closet and it would had been great to have a door on the master bathroom. But overall it was wonderful

Azure 517

While the unit was furnished beautifully and the views were amazing and the deck furniture was awesome, there were several things not up to par when paying $5000+ the Vacasa fee. The refrigerator had a broken drawer and shelves, we only had 6 forks in the unit, while it sleeps 10. While there were some bowls/Tupperware there were no lids. These are things that should be inventoried after each stay with a back stock readily available for replacement. Further the Vacasa service is extremely expensive and we’re not sure what for. We had no hand soap in 2 of the 3 bathrooms and the one left was so small that after 2 uses it would be fine. I understand only supplying limited paper products, dish soap and trash bags, but hand soap should be provided and in a quantity that does not require purchase at the local Publix. We were also disappointed to learn that now wrist bands were required. Some what if a pain to remember them and also to leave them behind. The final issue drinks around the pool…we’re on vacation, and there is absolutely no reason to not allow a tumbler or can around the pool. No glass is completely understandable, but this rule is taking it too far and not consistent with other complexes on the island. We began staying at Azure in 2009, and kept coming back because we loved the complex. With the change in management, sadly we will not be back and will look for a new property in which to stay.

Enjoyed our stay. We had 6 adults and one child and had ample room. The balcony was larger than we expected and the views were amazing. No complaints. Would stay here again.

Beautiful and Clean!

We really enjoyed our stay at Azure 517. When looking for places to stay, my main concern is cleanliness and this unit did not disappoint in that area. We were very pleased! Helpful advice I would give to future renters: (1) take some beach chairs with you - having the beach service was wonderful - but if you have more than 2 in your party - you'll probably want additional beach chairs. (2) there are not any elevators in the parking garages, and the ramps are extremely steep, which definitely wasn't ideal when unloading/loading or even accessing the car with my 78 year old Mother-in-law. Overall we had a wonderful stay! Location was great, unit was beautiful, pools were great (2 total - 1 heated), nice restaurants nearby, great view! Thank you!

Picture is Accurate!

The listing is exactly what the picture shows! We loved the location and the ease of getting to everything. The parking garage is kinda of tight if you are in a larger vehicle, but there are a few places designated for larger vehicles so that helps. Check in and check out was a breeze. My kids loved the pools. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Azure 517

We really enjoyed our stay in Azure 517. It was so nice. The view was great. We saw dolphins from the balcony a few times in the early morning. There were 2 things that could be looked at. The jacuzzi tub had black particles that came out of the jets or filter. Not sure what it was. It happened twice. So maybe it just needs cleaned. Also the bunk beds were wobbly. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. We would love to stay again in the future!

It is Great!

Great size! Kitchen has a great pantry to store your supplies. Plenty of room to sit and eat both inside and on patio. Furnishings are attractive and in great shape. We ended up with 6 adults and 1 child. Space was more than adequate. 3 bathrooms make it so simple for 3 couples. Dishwasher didn’t work first night . Reported next morning and on-site VACASA fixed immediately. Hope this unit is available next year!

Great accommodations

This condo is very well equipped and I appreciated the completely empty pantry in which we could place our food and other items. There were also other empty closets in which we could store our luggage and other items that we didn’t need to have our all of the time. We enjoyed the beach and the two pools.

This unit had a beautiful view and it offered us plenty of room for our group of eight. It was decorated nicely and had lots of towels, silverware, etc. The master bedroom mattress was super firm and it gave me back spasms each night. I had to take an Aleve each morning to help but my husband liked the mattress, so to each their own. There was also a stopped up bathtub in the back bedroom/bath combo but I called maintenance and put in an order to fix the issue. I would recommend the bunk beds be secured (very wobbly) but they were comfortable. These issues were why I didn't give 5 stars. I think they are minor issues. It was a beautiful condo and Azure is in a great location.
