Enjoyed our vacation

Fourth time at this property. As usual, it was beautiful and Beth is wonderful.

My family had a fantastic stay. The unit had everything we needed and then some. It was spacious, comfortable, and the location can’t be beat.

Condo building is directly on the beach. Unit is on the fifth floor. One odd thing, the unit is actually overlooking the pool for the building next door (Sand Castle 1). The people in and around this pool were a much rowdier crowd. Great communication before, during and after our stay. The living room sofa and loveseat were updated prior to our arrival and looked nice and were very comfortable. This is an older complex, so the bathrooms are small ... the vanities in both the master and hall bath were single bowl with not much counter space. This is as advertised in the photo's. The flooring is updated and nice. The kitchen counter is updated with granite. The cookware was adequate for our purposes. We did grill on the community grills ... unfortunately there were no grill tools ... we made it work. The cleanliness of the condo was my biggest concern. Upon entering the unit, it did smell musty. This is not uncommon for accommodations in Florida. But not typically found in higher end properties. The washcloths, some towels and the kitchen washcloth and towels all smelled horribly. I bought Tide pods and Lysol Laundry Sanitzer and washed everything before I used. The floors were not clean as we found out after being barefoot the first day and our feet were black before we even got out of the unit. We had a 10 AM checkout. My husband started taking bags to the car around 9:30 AM. The cleaning crew asked to come to the unit immediately so they could get started. We indicated we had a 10 AM checkout and the other couple was still getting packed up. After my husband made a second trip to the car (which was not the final trip), they came up and into the unit before we were even out. I told them about the floors needing a good mopping. We finally got out of the unit about 9:55 AM. We had washed and dried all the beach towels. We had washed and dried all the dishes. The bed linens and washcloths and towels were all that needed cleaning. We were ready to pull out of the lot when we remembered to take the parking pass back to the unit. When my husband got back up to the unit, something was already in the dryer. They hadn't had time to even run a load through the washer. What could they be drying? ... And so we left wondering if that's why the washcloths and towels smelled so bad when we arrived. Overall, the condo isn't bad ... but for the price we paid, we expected better.
