Will Stay Here Again

This property had the best of everything! I am a slight germaphobe and this place was extremely clean. The walk down to the beach was easy for my elderly mom. Everything was easily accessible. The place was cute and we look forward to staying here again.

Perfect location for families

This condo is in the perfect location for a panoramic view of the ocean. We loved seeing dolphins from our balcony. It’s an elevator ride and steps to the beach. Having two king beds was great. (We didn’t use the sofa bed.) Short drive (or walk) to restaurants and shops. Our family of four (kids ages 15 and 8) had a great time. We look forward to returning.

Great location

This is a great place with a great view. Everything appears new and clean. The only reason for not getting 5 stars is the mattress in guest room is very uncomfortable. It is hard and springs on surface level. Honestly everything else is perfect but when you’re paying this much for a place to sleep you want it comfortable.

Reviewing this for my parents who stayed in this condo while my family stayed in another. Decor was gorgeous. Balcony furniture was super comfy and pretty. Beds were comfy. Code for the door was a bit long and even I did not have it memorized before we left- obviously my parents did not either. Getting through to the management company via email took a long time for a few questions before we left but they are very busy. Phone call was a 30 minute wait time but otherwise just fine. This condo is perfectly located. Great little pizza place across the street. Short stroll to the beach. Not crowded like neighboring condos. Elevator was fast. Ample parking. Short 1/2 mile walk to bahama bobs which was my fave meal! Definitely would recommend this place!

This property was just as described. Everything worked as it should. There were couple of issues with codes to pool area.(would suggest sending everyone renting a message if codes change). Beach view and short distance to beach was great.

A Girls' Beach Getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the Tropical Winds! The condo was nice and clean for our Girls' Trip. The A/C worked well and the beds were comfortable! The view from the balcony is gorgeous and it's a super easy walk to the beach. We enjoyed that it was a smaller building, with less condos, and getting an elevator was never a problem, like we had read about at other buildings. The only downsides were that the bathrooms were on the small side and there was no chair service but I would still stay here again...in a heartbeat!

Totally Disappointed

Loved the location on the beach and the onsite property manager was attentive and helpful. We arrived at 4pm to check in and the unit was not ready and we had to wait for 40 minutes. There were no parking passes in our unit and we were issued an incorrect code to access the beach/pool. We contacted Vacasa for help twice and they were useless and kept telling us someone brought parking passes which never happened. The only response received was from the property mgr. The condo could use some major updating. There was mildew on one of the chairs in the den and the furniture was pretty worn. We paid a hefty price for two nights and it was NOT worth it at all. Total disappointment and lack of customer service.

We enjoyed our stay right on the beach

We did not contact anyone with checking in or out. Everyone in the building was respectful of each other unattended items. Easy and secure access to the pool and beach. The kitchen was equipped with lots of cookware. Highly recommend this condo.

Great place to stay. Our group of 2 couples needed a 2bdrm with 2 king beds. This was one of few, particularly at our price point. The ocean was still pretty chili.

Patio view was worth it all.

Overall, we loved our stay. Furniture, beds, etc. were all very comfortable and the patio was superb--with a fantastic view of the ocean and the morning sun was perfect. Towels were short in supply including kitchen, one very worn dishcloth and one very thin dish towel (rags I bought were in better shape) Each bathroom had one face cloth and only a few towels. Every thing else was nicely supplied and we loved our rental.

August 2023

Overall, we had a great trip. We loved the easy access to the pool and beach. Beautiful view and a great location close to many restaurants and shops! The cleanliness was not up to my standards. At a quick glance, things looked “clean” but the floors were actually really really dirty (they turned my child’s house shoes black- so we threw those away) , underneath all of the beds, pull out/couch, dressers, nightstands, etc were filthy with dust. Things to me that can be easily moved and cleaned under, but have obviously been neglected. I reached out to property regarding some possible mold on the ceilings. The unit had a musty smell when we entered and some of the ceilings in the living room and master bedroom looked as though they had possibly painted over spots that may have been moldy (not confirmed, but just something I noticed). I got a quick response from them, but there was never once a person to come by to check the issue like I was told they would do. Both sinks in the bathrooms did not drain well at all, which was quite annoying. And last but not least, the stand up shower had some mold in it which definitely could’ve used a little ✨mold armor✨ I think with a few little changes (especially the cleaning part of it), it’d be a nice place to visit again. The condo itself was great! Super quiet, plenty of parking, a beach and pool to ourselves for most of the week, and some very sweet owners we got to meet during our stay. We look forward to another trip soon!
