Finding the elevators in this building were a challenge until we found there were east and west locations. You must be aware the luggage carts are in the parking garage and the unit numbers are not in numerical order.Trust me, these are minor issues for the fabulous views, amazing beach, pool and hot tub as well as the beautiful interior and gorgeous furnishings!Would love to come back!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are so glad the views, beach, pool, hot tub, and beautiful interior and furnishings all left such a great impression and made for such a fabulous stay.
We appreciate you sharing those helpful tips about the elevators, luggage carts, and unit numbers, as that is such great information for future guests to be aware of when they arrive. We will make sure to include that information more clearly in our guest guide so everyone can get settled in as quickly and smoothly as possible.
We would absolutely love to welcome you back again soon!

Thank you for your kind review! We would love to host you again in the future.
Absolutely beautiful view from the balcony. Highly recommend this condo. I would stay here again. I loved the tile in the bathrooms. The air conditioning worked great. My only suggestion is that you need to plan to buy things you would expect to already have in the condo, there was no dish washer soap, no laundry soap, not enough toilet paper for 3 bathrooms for 7 day, 1 roll of paper towels for 7 day, not enough trashbags. We just went to Walmart and bought this stuff.My biggest complaint would be that our check out time was 10:00 a.m. but we were locked out of the condo at 9:40. We could not go back in and check for things that might have been left behind when we took our luggage to the car at 9:40 am.Our overall experience was great and I would recommend this condo for your vacation. I just thought it was good for people to have the information about being locked out early and also needing to buy some items for your stay.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are so thrilled to hear that the balcony views, beautiful tile in the bathrooms and the air conditioning all left such a great impression. We truly appreciate the kind recommendation!
Regarding the supplies we do want to clarify that we provide a starter pack for every guest which is noted in our listing. We provide enough to get you started but after that it is the responsibility of the guest to pick up any additional supplies needed for the duration of their stay especially for a group staying for 7 days with 3 bathrooms. However if you ever arrive and do not see any dishwasher soap or laundry soap at all please do not hesitate to reach out to us right away and we would have been happy to bring the correct amount over to you. We always want to make sure our guests have what they need from the start!
We also sincerely apologize for the door code deactivating before your 10 AM checkout time. That should never happen and we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to not be able to go back in and check for any items left behind. We will look into this with our access system right away to make sure checkout times are accurate going forward. Please know that if anything like this ever happens again you are always welcome to call us right away and we will get a new code created for you immediately.
We are so glad that overall you had a great experience and we would absolutely love to welcome you and your group back again soon!
The pool and ocean view were amazing! Access to the condo and building was very easy. There did appear to be some previous water damage on the bathroom doors and the balconies of the opposite side didn’t appear to be taken care of very well. Everything else was great!

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the pool and those amazing ocean views; they truly make for a special stay. It’s also great to hear that access to the condo and building was easy and convenient.
We appreciate you pointing out the bathroom doors and the condition of the opposite-side balconies. Both are part of our responsibility, and we’ll be addressing the doors and ensuring the balconies are cleaned more thoroughly moving forward.
We’re happy to hear everything else was great, and we’d love to host you again for an even better experience next time!
We enjoyed our stay at Ocean Aire. Very much, Jodi was attentive and welcoming. We had minor issue that was immediately addressed. The bathrooms were all updated and very clean.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed those breathtaking views, the beautiful beach, and all the comforts of the condo. It sounds like you made the most of everything—from the pool to the beach bar! We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway soon.
It’s an absolutely beautiful condo. It does need a fresh coat of paint and a little TLC, but it is spectacular. The view is amazing! If you stay in the primary/master bedroom, you must keep the door open or it will get very hot in there no matter how you turn the thermostat. The room with a four poster bed, gets ice cold. Keep that in mind. The property is safe and secure and very few children. The children that were there, were extremely well-behaved and well mannered. It was refreshing. No loud music, people were respectful and friendly to know. We ate at Ruth CHRIS steakhouse and it was fabulous. Highly, highly recommended. We will be back.

We truly appreciate you staying with us and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
Plenty of space for us. We loved the large balcony with the ocean and pool view. We even utilized the second balcony overlooking the pickle ball courts.
