Castaway 9c

The unit is a little run down. The washer gave an error message the first day we used it, and they didn't manage to fix it the entire week we were there. The pots & pans were in bad shape. Other than these issues, the location is fantastic and the property is nice. We do love to stay there.

Adequate accommodations

Master bed is in need of an update. Bed was very creaky/squeaky. The dryer had a load of partially dried towels that required re washing due to musty smell. Mold noted around the vents in front bathroom and the water pressure of both bathrooms was low most of the time and at one point the water stopped flowing during a shower in the master bathroom. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utensils however the toaster only toasts on one side. Ceiling fan over dining table did not work. View and location were perfect!

Great location

We loved the location! Beach was accessed easily, walking distance to anything you might want to do. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook ( no dish towels so take some ) turn fridge and freezer on as soon as you get there it does take a while to get cold. Cleanliness is another story, yes we are at the beach and expect sand. It smelled clean when we arrived we quickly learned that the floor just had something put on top of the grime, they were slippery and very dirty. My son almost fell walking into the living room, I walk in socks I’m places other than my home they were black on the bottom…so take an extra pair of flip flops or socks you can trash. The beds were ok, I would take your own pillows. Washer and dryer worked great and the balcony was amazing! Watched the dolphins every morning. Pool is great and partially shaded which is great to cool off. We also never cracked the code for turning the dining room light on which was a pain when we ate or played games at night. The TV in the kids room also didn’t work which was not a huge deal for us since we played games at night. Over all an excellent condo, perfect beach away from public areas. Just really should amp up the cleaning crew.

Location location location!!!

Pros and cons Pros- location is incredible, the view is exactly as photo shows. And steps to the sand!! It’s right around several restaurants and walking distance to the Hangout. The condo is nice, it does have a mothball smell so you could take plug ins or even air freshener. Kitchen is very well stocked with all you’ll need to make meals/snacks/drinks. Do take trash bags, dish tabs and laundry tabs. Ac kept up well however it along with humidity made everything in the condo damp- all the time. A dehumidifier could be used by the owner for this. Cons- the parking lot is awful!! I have a small car and struggled to park because huge SUVs and huge trucks with very large front push bars took up 2 spots basically. The smell of the condo, just never did go away. Beds were not comfortable and there are no extra sheets (things get sandy bc.. the beach). Top floor- we had an emergency fire alarm (kiddo pulled it) so going down and up all those stairs wasn’t easy for my 72 yo mom- and to think of; we almost needed to cover for tornado so being way up was a bit unnerving (this obviously is out of anyone control but a safety factor to consider) The TVs, good luck!!! The volume randomly goes out and we had to reset the dish too many times to count, finally realized pushing the power button on the dish box 2x really fast reset it way quicker. Overall it was truly great but I’d not go back to this condo.
