Thank you, Mary! Glad the place met your expectations — clean, great view, and close to everything you wanted. Sorry the bracelets wouldn’t work at the entry and you had to drive through; we’ll have our team check the readers and bracelets right away to prevent that in the future.

Condo is beach theme and cute. Host always replied back and offered to send someone out to fix the laundry room door. We declined the help just because it didn’t really bother us. IF YOU ARE USE TO HAVING YOUR HOUSE COLDER THAN 69 degrees don’t book this unit. We messaged the host because we would wake up in the middle of the night and it would be 86 degrees/ 82 degrees/ or even 84 degrees and we was hot. I told her my newborn hated to be hot and she told us to leave the air on 72 degrees. (She said she has had 4 kids she can relate.) Just not what we wanted to hear when we paid 4400$ for a week vacation. It’s still hot. Especially after being outside all day or dealing with a hot baby! They have the thermostat set on a timer so you constantly have to bump it back down if not you wake up and it’s 84 degrees or 86 degrees like listed above. The sliding glass door to the balcony is very heavy and hard to slide. You have to put your whole body into it just to move it.

The communication between Real Joy and myself was great. The room was perfect and we had no issues. The only issue was the craziness at the elevators but that’s to be expected with a big complex like that one. All and all a perfect vacation and would definitely use them again.

Beautiful View
Great location, beautiful view from balcony, very spacious condo There were a couple things that were broken or didn't work at all. The pass code didn't work when we got there to get in the condo. The floors make your feet black to the point you have to wash your feet several times a day. All of these things were manageable, so it didn't interfere with our trip.

Great stay!
Our unit was just as pictured! Very clean and beautiful views of the beach from all angles. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable. There was plenty of room for 7 of us. Check in was fast and easy. We went the week after spring break so the beach wasn’t too crowded. Security was present but not overbearing which was nice with 4 teenagers. The pool (although a little chilly but so was the weather) was fantastic! Easy walk from the parking garage to our place. And easy walk from our place to the beach! We definitely plan on returning!

Family Paradise
The property manager was fantastic and immediately responded. This condo was gorgeous. We loved everything about it. Cooked meals as a family in the kitchen. Enjoyed the phenomenal views from the family room and the balcony. The guest rooms were all beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised with how clean the place was considering salt and sand do their thing. I would recommend this condo and I would definitely stay here again. For reference, my husband and I stayed here with our kids ranging from 9 to 24 between Christmas and New Years.

Beautiful views, immaculate conditions
Very clean property, the large glass doors gave the best views from 14th floor ! This was a beautifully decorated space and I was very happy it is just as pictures show. My only wish is if there were wall plug ins with ocean scent or clean linen that would of been perfect to get rid of stuffy smell when you first walk in. Conveniently located but parking was very confusing no one could direct us or knew where we could park. It should be clearly noted in the instructions from host. Overall we had a great time very glad we booked this trip.

Better than pictured
The pictures do not do it justice! Absolutely gorgeous! The view is amazing. We went Memorial Day weekend so the crowd was intense which affected parking and elevators. However other than around checkin time the parking deck was not bad. If everyone goes the posted 8mph it would be fine. Parking is on the left on the 6the level of the deck. Thankfully I had seen that on another review otherwise that would’ve been a nightmare trying to find. The elevator wait was long usually around check in and out times but I mean that is going to be expected. As far as the property itself... no issues at all! Loved it, beds were comfortable, couch and recliners were... everything was great. The TVs were really confusing and we only were able to get the living room and master TVs to work and the WiFi was spotty, but for a mom that was actually good because it gave us more time to hang out and not have our faces in screens.
