Wonderful Vacation Spot

We loved our stay at this condo! The furnishings, decor, etc were perfect and really made us feel at home. Location is one of the best (right on the beach and relatively close to restaurants, shopping, etc). Would definitely stay again!

My family (2 young kids, 2 adults) had a great time in this unit- pictures were exactly as it was upon arrival. Great pool and beach area. Perfect for our kids that love both. Only complaint is that we have stayed in numerous ski condos in the Northeast and have been supplied much more in the kitchen. In this unit there were no ice cube trays, minimal amount of plates, etc. It seemed a bit sterile in the kitchen. Otherwise absolutely zero complaints and felt like it was a wise decision (quieter, calmer) than other locations that we saw on the beach (and had almost booked at). One thing to consider is that there is no golf cart with this unit - we would have explored much more of the resort if we didn't have to get in our car. Nevertheless, this unit was really great for our needs and would recommend it.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We're thrilled to hear your family had a wonderful stay and that the unit was exactly as pictured upon arrival. We're especially glad the pool and beach area were a hit with your kids and that the quieter, calmer atmosphere made this the perfect fit for your vacation. We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen supplies. We understand how helpful it is to have a well-equipped kitchen when traveling with a family, and we'll share your suggestions with the appropriate team for consideration. Your comments about items like ice trays and additional dinnerware are valuable as we continue looking for ways to improve the guest experience. Thank you also for mentioning the golf cart. While this unit does not include one, we appreciate you sharing how it would have enhanced your ability to explore the resort. We're happy to hear that despite this, the location and amenities still made for a memorable stay. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for recommending the unit. We hope to welcome your family back for another great beach getaway soon!

The room and location was really nice. The AC had just been replaced but wasn’t working properly still BUT Valerie with Ocean Reef stayed on top of this issue until it was fixed! The pool and hot tub was really nice. The view from the balcony was beautiful too! We will be back! Loved it!

A Really Private Condo

The condo is set off by itself in a short hallway. Views in every direction. The view of the beach to the south is shared by other condos, but the sunset view is a private balcony. Just not that important, but the trash chute is right near the door, very convenient. The location makes for a quiet stay.

Beautiful property

Pros- Property is gated and right on the beach. Ocean view from both the balconies. Perfect escape to relax and rejuvenate. Nearby outlet mall and restaurants. Mesmerizing sunset view from the balconies. Cons- No condiments so we would recommend to bring your own condiments, and coffee. Be prepared for squeaky bed other than that excellent property. We had a very pleasant stay.

Beautiful views from every room! Fabulous stay!

We LOVED this property! Two separate balconies that could be accessed from the bedroom, living room and dining area. Lots of windows and light and beautiful views all day long. The unit was clean, beds were comfortable. Bathroom was large with double sinks and a very nice shower. Kitchen was a perfect size and well apportioned. It actually had the best pots and pans we've seen in a rental to date. It was quiet at night and I really appreciated the thick drapes and very nice blinds that blocked the light at night which made for a great night's sleep (no cheap stuff). We loved the easy access to the pools and the beach and the bonus of access to the tram which meant we didn't need to use our car. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice unit with beautiful view, could be better stocked.

The unit was beautiful but not very well stocked. We moved over from another Westwinds unit who provided everything we could have possibly needed. This unit claims to provide you with a “starter set” of supplies. We found one roll of toilet paper which didn’t even last four people through one night before we could make it to the store. At least one extra roll would be a nice gesture. We also needed to utilize the sleeper sofa, but there were no extra pillows in the unit. The only pillows were those on the king bed. The king bed is also extremely tall. As a 5’3” adult, I had a hard time getting in and out of it. The view was gorgeous, but we will opt to stay with hosts who show the extra effort to provide a bit more supplies in the future.

The location was fabulous. Right o the beach! The views were amazing. Only issues were inside the condo. It needs some deep cleaning, a little paint to cover the black scuff marks. The lamps in the living room do not have the screw top holding them in place. NO beach towels or beach chairs. The hair dryer was tiny, it it worked. The bed was uncomfortable and very noisy any time you moved. I needed a step stool just to get into the bed! It could use a new mattress. No wine opener but lots of wine glasses. The biggest problem was the shower. The shower head ran despite turning it off as hard as possible. Not a drip, but running all the time. I emailed Ocean Reef and they sent a guy out right away. He said Ocean Reef was already aware of the issue but never fixed it! That was disappointing. The couch and pillows had multiple stains. I’m glad we didn’t spend all our time inside!

Short Beach Getaway

The unit is on the 13th floor and provided excellent views of the ocean and sunsets with a balcony providing a 180 degree view. The actual property is very nice with pool and hot tub and right on the beach. This particular unit had several issues which would preclude our return: the bed was too high and so noisy it would you up when someone repositioned themselves.; and the shower dripped and was reported to the management company.. There was a lack of silverware, which we also reported.

Good property. Do not like having to address issues through email and getting a canned message

Property was good but sofa bed had a used sheet with crushed cherrios all over it. Had to clean it up very late at night. Clean sheets were there to make up the sofa bed but no blanket or pillows. Submitted this but did not hear from management
