Great location, but there were problems

We were notified 2 days prior to checking in that there would be construction. The mgmt co. offered a refund, but it was too late for us to change plans, so I agreed to a 20% discount. As such, I can't complain about that. However, there were other disappointments. The dryer was in serious disrepair. It worked, but it sounded like a jackhammer & was quite disconcerting. Hopefully, the neighbors weren't disturbed. The mgmt company responded quickly and sent a repairman. They couldn't repair the dryer due to no available parts, so we lived with that. Prior guests must not have used the dryer or just didn't report the problem. The worst problem to which the management company did respond quickly was the "other guests." The Roach family, quite a large family, made themselves known right away. We saw many and squashed those who couldn't run fast enough to get away. When one came out of the toaster, that sealed the deal. We had to purchase out own plates, cups, and silverware. We "hid" bread, open chips, and other foodstuffs in the microwave and our ice chests.I found a nesting place under the kitchen sink and dishwasher. Mgmt sent two exterminator teams, and hopefully, for the next guest, the infestation has been eradicated. We loved the location, & layout & appreciated the mgmt acting as promptly as they could, but we probably won't be staying at this particular location again cuzIt's kinda hard to get the picture of the roach coming out of the toaster from my head.

Great location

Condo was as listed. However, there were no dishrags or dish towels in kitchen. No working vacuum to clean up daily sand. The pool, hot tub, and grills were not available due to construction on building. Construction was very loud during the day and the property manager did not let us know before our arrival that it was going on. They did give us a 20% discount on our stay and refunded it in a timely manner, once we complained.

Not clean at all!!

We arrived before check in and was told we couldn’t check in early. We didn’t mind and hung out at the beach waiting. We received an email at 3:30 with the door code and welcome package and thought maybe they got it ready 30 minutes early. We used the door code and entered the condo but noticed it hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guests. It seemed unlikely they could clean it in 30 minutes but we waited anyway. At 4 pm (check in time) we tried again. Still mot clean and no cleaning staff anywhere. I called and got sent to many different people before speaking to someone and they said they’d call me back. 5 minutes later I received a text that the room was clean and ready. Went to the room and it looked exactly the same. Called again and got the run around again and said they’d call me back. I waited about 20 minutes and called them back when I didn’t hear anything. It’s very hot there and my family was exhausted and traveled all day. Luckily our friends had a different condo that provided a smooth early check in so we were able to at least get some AC while I dealt with it. They finally said the cleaning crew was stuck in traffic and they’d text me an ETA. They offered us a $100 gift card to take our family to dinner while we waited. 2 hours later our room was finally cleaned. When we went to unpack our stuff there was still trash in the trashcans and we found a syringe needle on the carpet in the bedroom. This would jot be acceptable u see normal circumstances but certainly not during this time. I called them again just to let them know the cleanliness of the room was not adequate. The condo has a nice set up but very minimal cooking utensils. The shower curtains are moldy and I had to wash all the bed sheets because they didn’t look clean and given the cleaning situation I dealt with upon check in I wasn’t risking it. The pool and amenities were nice and the guys doing beach service were nice and accommodating. The view is beautiful. The last day of our trip our flight was canceled while we were sleeping. I called to see if the condo was available for that additional night since our airline put us on a flight for the next day. It wasn’t available which was not at all surprising since the place was completely full and very busy the entire week we were there. I asked them to give us an extra hour to figure out travel and they said no. Check out is at 10 am which is way too early to completely clean out your condo after a week anyway.

Great location, condo needs some work

We enjoyed being right on the beach and the gorgeous views from the 7th-floor balcony! The location was perfect in proximity to the boardwalk, too, and we could see the Wednesday night fireworks from our balcony. Check-in was simple to complete. Being on the 7th floor near the central elevator, it was always busy, so we always had a wait to go up/down. The outdoor staircase only goes up to the 4th floor, so the only other option is to go all the way to one end of the building and use the other elevator or stairs; I would have preferred just to climb the outside stairs if that were possible because of how busy and humid/hot the elevator got. The pool and hot tub area were great and well-maintained, if a bit crowded, and during peak beach times the hallway and beach walkway/shower area would get really congested. You have to cross through the pool area to get to the beach and go through two gates, which is difficult to do while carrying things to the beach. The chair reservation system is confusing - the attendants assured us that once we secured our chairs, we would have them the rest of the week, then suddenly forgot to put our number out halfway through the week. The condo itself was comfortable and spacious with three bedrooms and bathrooms plus the fold-out sofa bed. All the bathtub drains were stopped up and would fill during showers, which was gross. The refrigerator would occasionally start making a tapping sound for about a minute throughout the day/night, which was really annoying, and it was missing the bottom shelf. The kitchenware wasn't great, but that's typical in a rental. There are no coffee filters provided, and the store ran out while we were there, so you'll need to bring those. Three of the six dining chairs need repair with some wood glue, with one being dangerously close to the front legs breaking away from the frame. It would be helpful to have a small vacuum as well as more places to hang swimsuits and towels to dry after a day at the beach/pool. If you can, bring your own pillows - those provided were hard and flat. Overall, we had a good stay and would recommend the condo with the caveats that it is in need of several repairs and that it's a hassle to go up/down the elevator, so be prepared.

Disliked: Communication

My condo unit itself was spacious with a beautiful view and the kitchen was adequately stocked. However, the building has NO office with NO single person to contact. Everything is done via automation and we know what that means: several menu options, LONG rings before someone picks up if you need to speak to a person, AND, they never returned any of my calls. Originally, I was given the correct door code to my unit but the wrong fitness room code and was not even provided with a pool code. I'd say VERY POOR customer service (via automation)

Great location, could use some deep cleaning

We loved the location and size of this unit. The view of the beach is breathtaking and it had plenty of room for our family of 5 (including 3 teenage boys). We also loved that each room had a bathroom of its own. While it was obvious that someone had done basic cleaning before we got there, it was also obvious that it had not been deep cleaned in quite some time. During covid especially, I expected more. Some areas, the basic cleaning wasn't even done. I had to clean the front of the master bath toilet and the floor around it as it was disgusting. The trim near the floors in the entire unit and the floors could use some deep cleaning. Also, there was mold on the inside of the curtains. The master bath tub did not drain, but we did text about that and they sent someone out to fix it who mentioned they would put in an order for that to be replaced. The carpet could use replacing as well. It's cheery enough with the colors, a little outdated (could use fresh paint at minimum), and Christmas decorations were still up, so that was strange (we were there for spring break in April). We also mentioned the mold on curtains, but no one addressed that. It was well furnished in the kitchen with cooking utensils, dishes, etc. The description had said no hair dryer in the unit, but there actually was one in the master suite. This would be helpful to add to the description, so I wouldn't have had to pack my own. We mostly just used the beach versus pool to stay spaced out from other guests. We would come back if we knew that it was very thoroughly cleaned and had some of the updates done, but otherwise would probably look for a different unit in the same building.

Overall nice place to stay

The condo had plenty of space for 6 adults and one 2 year old. Overall it was clean. The only issue really was the carpets in the rooms felt a little gross on the feet, could use a replacement. The washer and dryer closet door was off the track and was a hazard to our 2 year old. Other than those minor issues, the location and proximity to the beach was very convenient.
