Perfection

This place could not be more perfect. Locationally a 2 minute walk to the beach, maybe a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk to get breakfast or lunch. We had a large group and it accommodated all of us perfectly. Whenever we had a question about anything, Brad answered within 5 minutes (even at 11pm). So thankful for that! We will be back!

Nice Digs for a Girls Weekend

Good communication with host! Condo had been vacant prior to our arrival and it was a particularly hot day so it took a long time for the AC to cool down the unit when we arrived. (Owner was kind enough to contact maintenance guy!)Great location! Steps from the beach. Decent view of Thursday night fireworks from the deck. Quick walk to the "boardwalk". Short drive to a Publix grocery store. Sufficiently equipped kitchen (air fryer!) to cook breakfast and dinner. Condo had definitely been cleaned by a cleaning service prior to our arrival. The linen service left plastic wrapped sets of clean sheets and towels on the beds. To improve your stay, I would recommend bringing:- extra towel or bathmat to use at the sliding entry door as a place to remove shoes and wipe feet so you don't track sand into the condo - dish towels so you don't have to run the washer/dryer just to clean the two provided dish towels before you depart- a drying rack or portable clothesline so you have somewhere to hang wet bathing suits and towels as there are ZERO hangers or clotheslines in the condo- a comfortable pillow or two (There are several in the condo but they're quite old and lumpy.)ALSO -- Be careful not to block other guests' cars. This didn't happen to us, but other visitors to the complex couldn't move their car one evening because someone had parked them in...and didn't leave a cell phone number or unit number on their car! We enjoyed our stay!

Great location, house was not very clean though. Black mold on the shower curtains, food caked on the dish washer, sand on the floors, dust literally everywhere. Informed the host, he did not respond.

Great location…cleanliness was very lacking

We were excited for our beach vacation. When we arrived at the condo, the AC was on and was we were grateful, as it was a hot day. We had an issue getting on the WiFi but with a quick message to the host, we were able to get connected. We were there for about 2 hours before things went south. We were filling up the ice trays, when we noticed that the garbage disposal side of the sink was retaining water. We flipped on the garbage disposal and it would not work. We tried to use the reset button on the disposal but it still would not work. My husband reached in the disposal and discovered that there was a lot of leftover food in it. He pulled out a moldy meatball and refused to stick his hand back in there. I messaged the host a few times over the next 3 days about the issue as the condo started to smell bad as a result. Brad got back to me very quickly but unfortunately he was unable to get a maintenance guy over there before we left. When we went to take a shower the first night, we noticed that there was black mildew on the shower heads in both bathrooms. The refrigerator did not keep anything cold. It was up in the coldest setting but would barely keep drinks cool. The freezer did work. The AC filter was disgusting. We found unwashed towels in the washer and there were stains on the bed linens. Overall, the host was nice and responsive, location was great, but the cleaning crew was subpar. I would suggest leaving a binder with WiFi passwords and gate codes.

Really beautiful location, clean property, wonderful view from the fantastic front balcony, and super convenient to the beach, restaurants, and other great walkable spots. Hosts were really responsive with their communication, which I appreciated. I was so glad to have a few days stay here. A couple notes - Other folks have said it, but worth noting to just be prepared for the three flights of stairs up to the property, especially if you're loading a lot of luggage or have mobility issues. I didn't think much of it, but ended up feeling it when lugging some heavy luggage up and down on arrival and departure. Also, they make sure you have freshly laundered linens and towels, which you know because they are still wrapped from the laundry company, but does mean you're making your own bed when you arrive. Not a big deal, just could be a small annoyance if you're getting in later after a lot of travel. Finally, not sure if there was just something weird going on, but the wifi absolutely did not work the entire time I was there. I could log in, but it kept dropping, and was zapping my phone battery just trying to constantly connect, and my phone service for some reason didn't work well either. Again, nothing to drop any stars for, but just wanted to note for awareness for other folks. Definitely would highly recommend staying here!
