The check in was quick, however when not renting a car, it was very inconvenient because we had to take a taxi to the office and then get another one to the condo. We had all the information to get into our place, so it would have been easier to leave the gate key in the room in the envelope. That way we could have gone straight there.
We then requested a 12:00 checkout which was approved and charged almost immediately, However, we went for breakfast and got back at 10:03 and our code didn't work. If we weren't able to find the maintenance guy we would have been locked out for over 30 minutes. Very disappointing.
Other than that, the condo was great, location was perfect and can't wait to visit the area again.

The overall place was nothing of what I expected. The kitchen is outdated, staff bothered me as soon as I got to my room. Had to call for the sliding to be fixed after I was told there were complaints about it before. The outlets would spark every time you plug something in, never mind the fact anything you plugged in fell out. Laundry is expensive to do and pool flooring was horrible, stones were loose and I fell. Pool was dirty and not maintained. Everything was unplugged as far as the tv when I showed up. Overall I was not happy the stay and will not choose to stay here again. Don’t waste your money.

Excellant location
Grandma, Daughter and 2 grandchildren enjoyed 5 day stay at this property. Pool is really nice. Beach is nicer. Just depends on your preference. Located in mid section of island with a 4th floor fantastic view of ocean/beach. Unit nice with 2 bed/2bath, sleeper sofa. Kitchen supplied with equipment to cook/serve own meals if desired. Pantry items need to be provided by quests. Dishwashing soap mini size but enough for 3 days. Dishwasher detergent 2 loads. Laundry on premises, bring your own soaps etc. Mini size toiletries for an overnight stay. There were beach chairs [3]. Umbrellas can be rented from property managers. Grills on premises, parking lot very nice, gated. Overall we had a very nice stay here and will go back when possible.

Thanks for the great week at your wonderful condo ! We have rented in this bldg numerous times and the location is our favorite .Easy walk to times square but away from all the "busy". Love sitting on the patio anytime of day to enjoy the great view. Appreciated the beach towels provided . Kitchen provided us everything we needed to prepare meals .Only thing that was a "slight " negative, for our 1 week stay the condo only provided 1 extra kitchen trash bag , 1 bathroom roll , no tissues or no basic condiments ( salt and pepper , & no coffee filters. Hope what we purchased was left for the next renters. Over all we were very satisfied and would deffinatly stay here again !!

First off the location is perfect! The tram has a stop about 1/4 mile up the road and they drop you right off at the gate when you return. The view from the condo was amazing. The pool was warm, the whole place is very clean. The kitchen is dated but has everything you need, coffee maker, oven, stove, microwave full fridge and freezer, with ice maker. There are plenty of kitchen utensils, knifes, pizza cutter, plates, glasses, silverware, pots and pans. There is a hair dryer in each bathroom, there are bath towels and beach towels as well. They have paid laundry on site as well.

We were a bit disappointed with the condition of the condo we rented. The bathrooms were not very clean, needed some repair and needed updating. The kitchen cabinets and counters need a total update and all of the beds need new mattresses. It felt like the owner didn't care about this property enough to make it a comfortable experience for their renters.

Great location. Condo complex was great and well kept. Great pool and awesome beach. Walking distance to Times Square restaurants. Large screened in balcony. As mentioned by other reviewers, condo is really in need of updating. Mattresses were extremely old and uncomfortable.

Living room and kitchen were fine. Beds were comfortable except for the wrong size bottom sheets that were tooooo big for those beds. Noise of water gurgling down the pipes from condos above in the wall by the dining room table. Elevator noise was constant, starting at 5:30am thru midnight. Would be nice to have local information available, tram schedules, restaurants, pizza delivery, etc.Location was perfect for what we wanted. Screened in balcony was great for evening viewing of sunset.
