Overall great property, but I do want to share some information to help make your stay more enjoyable.
Pros: The condo was clean and had nice, beach furnishings. The location was perfect…you had a great view of the pool which was located just one floor down. The balcony was spacious and clean! You are a 5-10 minute golf cart ride to the beach, Publix, shopping center, and restaurants. The golf cart was so helpful to have!! We never even needed the free shuttle! The Village at Baytowne Wharf was just steps away. We shopped, ate, and played there every single day. Lots to do! The property manager communicated great…until we arrived.
Cons: The property manager should give better instructions on how to find the unit. There’s nothing morning frustrating than dragging 4 suitcases around trying to figure out where to go. Then the codes to the building they gave us were wrong. The WiFi never worked. This seems like it may not be a huge problem since you’re on vacation, but we weren’t able to book excursions or even contact the property manager without leaving the property. When contacted the property manager 4-5 times over the course of several days before they responded. They never did fix it. They told us to use the WiFi from a nearby unit, but since that router was so far away the signal was too weak to be helpful. Also, the router was hidden in a night stand drawer in a guest bedroom. We searched high and low for that thing hoping to fix the problem ourselves. We wished they had left a book of helpful information, such as codes to the building, unit, and garage; where the router was located; where the gym was located; how to access the beach; local restaurants; where the grocery store is located; how to get to the golf cart in the parking garage. This type of information helps vacationers relax and enjoy their trip rather than spending their time trying to figure out these details. We also had an issue with our door lock. We could get the property manager to call us back for 1/2 a day, so we had to leave the unit unlocked while we went about our day. Finally, bring EVERYTHING you need. Nothing is provided…no beach towels, umbrellas, beach chairs, coffee, coffee filters, laundry soap, plastic cups, toilet paper (only 1 extra role provided - depending on how long your stay is , you might need more) etc.
We loved the condo & location, but want you to be aware of what to expect and what to bring.
