My family & I were able to stay very comfortably in this unit. The condo was amazing with a spectacular view and great amenities. We arrived on Sat night & stayed until next Sat morning. There is security at the main gate & all guest must keep a wristband on during the full stay. While the unit allows for 8 guest, the front desk would only give me 6 bands (and he was very rude about it, not owner's fault tho). At first, I was a bit upset b/c I had 7 guest, but quickly realized that there wasn't much enforcement of bands for the little kids. So that was good.
I was happy that the owner did notify me before our stay to say that there was an issue with the dryer and that a service man would be onsite during our visit. However, we didn't see a issue with the dryer .
I can't speak enough about the view and for someone who is afraid of heights, I stayed on the balcony a lot. It did rain once and the ledge is far enough out that the rain did not bother us while sitting out there. The unit does seem soundproof since I wasn't able to hear outside or guest in surrounding units.
I did see several comments that had issues with the sand in the unit, but that just comes with being steps from the beach. Unfortunately, its very hard not to track sand back up to the unit so I was fine with using the provided broom/mop for a daily cleaning needs.
There are only 4 elevators and other guest did mention that others had gotten stuck on the elevators. I never got stuck but there is also a warning sign in the elevator that says jumping would get the elevator stuck. You do not want to get stuck in them because there is zero air ventilation inside. One perk for being on the 13th floor is that its easier to catch a elevator going down because they get packed quickly.
Other than the elevators, I never felt crowded on the property. There was enough space for all guest in the pools, hot tub, on the beach, and all other amenities. I loved the onsite tiki bar, weekend DJ was their Fri-Sun with a variety of music. I had no concerns with property or beach safety, its a very lit area at night. My teens were able to explore the property and beach with no hassle. We were able to enjoy night crab hunting, and others guest were exploring the beach in their little groups, as well. I would FORSURE 100% recommend this unit and hopefully in the near future return back to PBC to book with them again.
