Great stay in Aqua 703!
We love Aqua and have rented other condos in this building before. It is a great place for families - the views are unbeatable, and there are outdoor pools as well as heated indoor pools and hot tub. Pier Park is a short walk or car ride away if you get tired of relaxing by the beach, pool, or on the balcony.
We had one small maintenance issue; when I called the office I got an immediate call back and the issue was resolved (as others have mentioned, the ice maker in the refrigerator doesn't work quite right, so it had leaked water all over the floor.) Didn't hamper our trip at all.
This condo is spacious and has everything you need. Because of COVID and wanting to save money, we always try to cook our meals in the condo and we had everything we needed to do so; my pro tip is to arrange your grocery delivery from the local Walmart to arrive about the same time you do. We had placed our order on our way and we were all set for our stay.
This is a really nice condo; the bunk beds were great for our kids and they set up their gaming system for the evenings when we were done playing outdoors. The master bedroom is spacious, the beds are comfortable, there are extra blankets and pillows, and the views are magnificent. Sitting on the balcony reading or watching the sunsets, smelling the sea air, I never ever wanted to leave.
It was unseasonably warm this year, so we enjoyed highs of 75-78 during the last week of December, which made for an awesome trip. However, there were a few rain storms and some very high winds - be forewarned that when you open the front door, if you have the sliding doors to the balcony open, it will create a wind tunnel effect; this was really the only annoying part of the stay and this is obviously something that is out of the control of the owners of this condo. We tried to have a system where we would close the sliders when someone came in our out of the condo.
I have stayed in other condos at Aqua who provided beach chairs, boogie boards, and other beach accessories in one of the closets - it's my only suggestion for improvement that would take this place from great to AMAZING. We had everything we needed for our stay, but those little touches make a world of difference - we ended up buying a couple of chairs and some sand toys but as we don't live near a beach, we have no use for them (so we left them behind and hopefully they were kept there for others to enjoy.)
Great place - would stay again. Thanks!
