Nice place but outdated

The place was really clean but needs to be updated. The baseboards need to be replaced. The TVs are super-outdated. Maybe if some smart TVs were added and streaming services available, this place would be top notch.

Family time.

We enjoyed our stay.. there were not many face rages or towels.. only one towel and two face rages per room. (We had an unexpected cost of purchasing those items). But the rooms were clean . We enjoyed ourselves and will return.

Great View!!!

We really envied your stay in the Penthouse. The only bad thing to say is that the counter was filthy when I rubbed my hand across it, the tv in the master needs upgrading, video quality was horrible, and there was no stopper for the kitchen sink. I hand-wash, I hate a dishwasher.

Not at all what it was portrayed to be.

Needs lots of updates and maintenance to multiple items in the condo. Definitely not worth what we paid for. We did enjoy being back on the beach at San Carlos and being so close to downtown..

Great place, terrible management

I had a wonderful stay at this property. The place was great, they were responsive when we sent notes during our stay, view and proximity to the beach were fabulous, linens were a little sparse and there were not enough towels but overall we had a great trip and enjoyed this beautiful property. The management company however was infuriating after our trip. I left something at the condo that they found and even though my parents are still there in the same building they REFUSE to give it to them and are charging me for shipping to return it. I am so irritated I could explode. It’s a shame to have such a terrible Experience after such a wonderful vacation.

2024 winter getaway

Location was perfect, size and space was more than accommodating and the view was out of this world. We were upgraded and ended up in one of the penthouses. The condo we were supposed to rent was sold. Pictures looked nice but reviews were spot on. Definitely needed a deep cleaning. Furniture needs to be updated, master bedroom is nice, but other bedrooms are lacking as far as outdated furniture, lamps and side tables. One could tell that this condo was top of the line in its day, just needs a little TLC. Overall experience was good, would recommend.

Beautiful view less than clean

The view. Nothing beats that view. It’s amazing. Some things to note. The balcony was lovely, unfortunately it did not have enough furniture. We had three plastic chairs, Two were broken, a two person small bench and a nice table with no chairs. One of the bathrooms had mold just above the shower stall. Someone did come to clean it but as we all know once mold is on dry wall, cleaning with bleach is not the answer it needs to be replaced. The furniture couch, beds, and chairs are older and are not as comfortable and could use replacing. One of the bedrooms didn’t have a blanket for the bed and there were no extras anywhere to be found. I have been in a few rented houses for vacations , and usually there are some items available upon arrival that are needed for a successful vacation like coffee! They have both a drip machine and a kcup machine. But there are no coffee filters, kcups in the condo. Also zero spices not even salt and pepper. There are a few dishwasher pods and two pacs of laundry detergent to use during your stay. We were also given one extra trash bag. They do also supply small shampoos and conditioners and dove soap bars in each bathroom. I know, I know it’s sounds like a bad review, it’s truthful not intended to be that. These are just a few things that my family had wished we knew before we booked. We still had a lovely time. We really loved the location. We would book here again but be prepared for the lack of amenities.

Not worth the price

Very disappointed with this place being a Penthouse! All furniture was either ripped or old. Deck furniture was rusted and ready to break. This place needs an overhaul. Broken drape in living room. Not a place we would rent again

Loved it!!

We had 8 adults, 3 teenagers, and 1 toddler. We had plenty of room! We did bring a pack and play for the toddler to sleep in, and the teenagers slept on the pull out sofa and couch. The property was as close as you can get to the ocean and in walking distance to restaurants. We loved Sea n Suds, The Hangout, Mikees, The Oyster House, and The Steamer. The Surf Style across the street was very handy for any supplies you may have forgotten at home. We had a great time! We were able to buy 2 extra parking passes, but that may have been due to the low occupancy at the time. Dan the “MAN”ager was great to deal with. Every person was pleased with the property and we will be back again! Thanks San Carlos for a great family vacation!
