Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Property owners were very quick to respond. There is a beach bin of beach items that I recommend checking before buying items. There were lots of things in there from beach toys to chairs. The only thing that was frustrating was that we weren’t allowed an early check in even though I received a text offering a discounted price the two days before our arrival as it wasn’t rented. Overall the place was nice and clean. We enjoyed our time there.

Reviewer Comments: The property we stayed in was very nice and very clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen.The view from the porch was beautiful. The sliding doors that lead to the porch is very noisy, the people upstairs slammed the door often, we could even hear it in the bedroom. I would suggest telling people to this of others when closing the sliding door.

Anniversary Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was okay but the sofa was not comfortable, the bed was not comfortable, it was noisy, the view on the balcony would have been nice if we would have had a recliner chair to relax on. The chairs was very uncomfortable very hard to sit in at a long period of time.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 August 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We will pass along your suggestions to the appropriate parties. Recliner chairs are often not found on balconies due to not being able to see over the railing. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!

The location was great, the condo had everything we wanted, and it was clean and well kept. We did not have a need to reach out to the company during our stay, but feel confident they would have been easy to work with. Every time I called prior to our stay to make payments or ask questions, everyone was friendly and helpful. My husband and I agreed we will DEFINITELY book here again if we come back here next year.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The furnishings were newer. The condo itself could use some attention. The tile/grout is coming off in places. The outside of condo building was dingy/not in good repair. The walkways were very dark. The elevator was shaky and jerky and had a horrible smell the entire stay.

Great View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit has great beachfront view. The property is well maintained and clean when we stayed. Overall it was a great stay and everything was as advertised. Couple of things that management can improve on: 1. For late check in, the current rule of asking us to come back to office next day prior to noon is not very flexible. Please be more flexible on this considering long distance travel involved in the prior day. 2. Please enforce no smoking rule. Our unit had some smoking odor left from previous occupants smoking in the patio area. The occupants above our unit were also smoking in the patio area during our stay and affecting us when we were relaxing in our patio.
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2015
Response from VrboOwner on 17 September 2023
Thank you for completing our online questionnaire, Our properties are all non smoking, however smoking is permitted on the balcony (with doors closed to stop the odor from entering the property and also to prevent the fire alarms from going off) However we do ask that guests be courteous to people around them if they are smoking on the balcony. We hope overall you did enjoy your stay at The Emerald Towers West!
