Beautiful view from the balcony! Be prepared to wait on the elevators & be packed in them when you do get on. But everything else was great!

Great condo with a fabulous view. Close enough to walk to a few area favorites & right on the beach.
Be patient with the elevators, there’s usually a wait.
We had a slight delay when checking in as the resort had to confirm the max capacity of the condo & that we were allowed to have 12 people, but they got it worked out.
Overall, it was a great stay for our group.

We had a good stay overall! We really enjoyed the view from the property, and the location was quite convenient.
Just a bit of feedback: the bathrooms could use some attention, as they didn’t feel as clean or well-maintained as expected. Also, the elevator situation in the building was quite frustrating — we often had to wait a long time to get one, which made getting in and out with kids/luggage a bit challenging.

Good value, clean but outdated

Very roomy 3-BR, Good parking Elevators! Parking ramp one was VERY slow, would have to wait 2 or 3 cycles for the tower elevator sometimes because of how gew there were, even though is was only moderately busy. Furniture insufficient in LR & on balcony for more than 3 or 4 people (in our 3 BR condo).

Great place! Only downside is the elevators. Half of them don’t work and you will wait 30 mins just to catch one that’s not full.

Beautiful and clean place! Wonderful resort! Lots of amenities! Walking distance to Pier Park, the Pier, lots of restaurants, and shopping. Kitchen had almost everything you needed to cook. Only issue we had was that we had to keep resetting the breaker box for the master bedroom. Kinda of aggravating but we made it work. We didn’t allow it to mess up the great time we had relaxing in the condo with family. We will be back again. Thank you for being a good host.
