The place was nice and as listed. The only issue we had was with the hot water the first day and it was resolved quickly. Remote in kids bedroom did not work but was not an issue for us. Beach was wonderful.
Breathtakingly Beautiful. Great place for a big family, spacious. Excellent condominium. Close to a lot of activities. Prettiest beaches in Florida. Nice pool and grounds also.
The condo was perfect. Very clean and super spacious. We had 4 adults and stayed 7 nights. The views of the Gulf were amazing. The pool was wonderful. I was a bit concerned when I saw it was across from the elevator but never heard a sound. Construction on the condo did start while we were there but they never started earlier than 9am.

Amazing time
Everything was perfect, location as always, room was clean and had everything we needed. If I can change one thing it would be to replace the mattresses, it brought back memories of Boot Camp. With that being said our family will be coming back again and we had a great time.

It was nice and clean. I just wish the washer and dryer was a little bigger.
We liked our stay, but the deck could have been cleaned better. The master bedroom bed needs a new box springs as you tend to move to the center thru the night.
Loved the condo with a nice balcony and beautiful view. It was comfortable for our group. Unit is a few steps away from the elevator. Check in is between 4-6pm. Just a short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. We had a small unexpected issue: Condo had to be sprayed for crawling roaches and we had to pay 57 for the parking permit which is done online. Sue from the management was helpful and our parking fee was reimbursed. Overall, I would stay here again.
The place was fine overall, but I wouldn’t choose this particular unit again. The balcony is tucked away, so the views aren’t as good as other spots on the property. When I asked about checking in early, they wanted to charge 50—seriously? That left a bad taste. Also, they don’t mention it on the listing, but there’s a required parking fee. Definitely better locations on this property if you’re looking for a good view and straightforward experience.

We had a great stay! Weather was perfect and the room was very nice.
We really enjoyed our stay, the only thing we didn’t particularly care for was the balcony lights. They were so dark it was like there wasn’t any lights. But other than that the stay was amazing!

NEEDS CLEANING & REPAIRS
BOTH tubs and sinks backed up with water. The tubs filled while showering. There was sand on the floors upon our arrival and I wasn't confident that the beds had clean sheets. The handle on the dryer was missing leaving a screw sticking out. Cabinet door was off in the kitchen and drawers didn't open / close properly. The kitchen was poorly stocked for 5 people much less 8 like the listing states. The baking pans in the kitchen were put away dirty & left for our use. The overall feel of the place was old and in need of a good cleaning, new mattresses and some repairs! The location was convenient and the view was lovely.
