We stayed at the condo in early May and had perfect weather. That location is fantastic. Condo offers a full view of the ocean and is only steps from the beautiful, uncrowded beach. Close to shopping and many wonderful restaurants. We love St Armand’s Circle.
Condo itself was nice. Beautiful balcony. Although we did not cook, kitchen appear to be well stocked. Only odd thing was the entrance into the condo was through the second bedroom. This did not bother us and it was noted in the description of the rental unit.
Beach chairs were available for guests to use. Beach umbrellas were also actually available in the condo unit itself, but they were in the back closet which we never opened until the last day of our stay. Instead we went and purchased an umbrella. Perhaps the owner should consider making that information known to the guests to save them, the expense of going out and purchasing their own umbrellas, only to find them later. They now have an extra umbrella as we left the one we purchased in the condo in the closet.
Our only issue with the condo was that the property allows visitors to smoke on their patios. The people below us were smokers. Every night we would have to go inside and close our door until they finished smoking as the smoke all came up into our patio. Lucky for us, they did not smoke long, but if you are sensitive to smoke or just simply dislike it, this should be considered. My hope would be in the future that the condo association votes to make the entire property non-smoking or designate an area away from the actual units or people can go and have a cigarette.
Other than the issue with the cigarettes, it was a lovely vacation - very relaxing in a fantastic area of Florida.
