• No elevator

  3/5

  The unit is beautiful and decorated very nicely. However, the listing twice states that there is an elevator. It even shows a picture of the elevator and states there is a cart to carry your belongings up in the elevator. Before booking I specifically asked if there was any hurricane damage. I was told no. I was shocked when we arrived and the elevator was broken and we had to carry everything up to the third floor (the garage is the first floor). My husband and I are senior citizens and I would not have booked had I been told the elevator was broken. In talking to others, it sounds like the elevator has broken several times before the hurricane, too. This dramatically affected our vacation as we were not able to carry all of our stuff up to the unit. If stairs are not a problem for you, this probably won't be a big deal. The garage also has several big holes from the hurricane that made it too hard for most cars to park in the garage. And the unit is directly at the Cortez bridge which is getting construction done all day long causing noise. Mostly heard the noise only on the deck. Again, the unit is beautiful, bed was comfortable, beach was great; our only concern was the elevator being broken.

• Too much: too many knick knacks in bathroom,and living room. very clean; manager responded immediate

  4/5

  Needs larger mirror in bedroom. Good location to beach, but road in front was very noisy and VRBO advertising did not mention road.

• Great Experience

  5/5

  While the condo building itself was a little “tired,” the unit we stayed in was as described. Clean and updated. We had access to what we needed. The private beach across the street as great! The pool was good as well. Friendly neighbors. The location was central which gave us quick access to restaurants and some shops. Overall a great experience :)

• Staying on the side of the highway

  2/5

  Would not go back!! Could not get past the loud continuous noise (especially semis, fire trucks/sirens) the highway/street 15 feet directly below the unit. Even with all the windows and patio doors firmly closed, was unable to hear the tv set. Hard to sleep and had a migraine most of our stay. Am amazed no one has commented on this!

  The actual condo was very nice n comfortable. Having a pool was lovely even tho it was unusually cool. Checkin was confusing. Precheckin instructions did not have parking information or sufficient directions on the location of the unit. Appreciated the timely response from the manager w the additional information and the ability to check in early.
