The ice machine in the ice unit did not work, and that was a major hassle. Every day, we had to drive to get ice.

Excellent resort
Very helpful staff and a great private access to the beach and a fishing dock with a hose. The view of the bay is beautiful, we would love to stay again! Very family friendly and felt safe with security around often!
You might want to invest in some plastic containers w/lids. In addition, when renting through vrbo please mention that you need to give a40 deposit for the gym key and mention about the distance to the walk to the beach from the condo.My husband manages 20 homes during the summer so we look for details when renting.

ITripplanners are a scam. They charge exorbitant fees and present themselves as Palm Bay when booking online. Photos of rental are misleading - looks great online but small, dark and poorly constructed. For example: tile grout coming out in showers, trim cut too short and dirty.

We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. Our team strives to provide accurate listing details and photos so guests know what to expect before booking. We did not receive any concerns during your stay, and we always encourage guests to reach out so we can address issues promptly. Our properties and fees are clearly outlined prior to booking, and we take pride in the many positive experiences reflected in our other guest reviews. We never have presented ourselves as Palm Bay and all fees are presented at time of check out.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to provide the best possible stay for our guests.

We loved the proximity of this unit to the bayside pool! The view at that pool was really beautiful, and was great for both kids and adults. The walk to the beach was enjoyable, and the beach itself was perfect! We really liked the beach chair service. The pictures of the listing were accurate in my opinion, and the bathrooms were dated but not a big deal. Overall, a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again!
Nice decor from remodeling. Both patio sliding doors did not work properly making it difficult to utilize the patio. Some photos of the resort are misleading as it looks newer outside than it is. We had a good stay and the front desk staff was very helpful.
