  So far, the best place I/d stayed in Florida. The unit is very well maintained, calm, with great views, and the hotel amenities were so nice. The hole family loved the pool and the restaurant.

  We stayed for a week in this apartment. We knew the resort well, since we have been there 3 times before. This time our stay was disappointing. Yes the apartment is nice, like all others in the resort, but the location is right beside a building site, with lots of noise from builders. Also the apartment is located at the street side, with a lot of traffic noise. Then there’s the balcony railing, which makes a lot of noise from resonance when there is wind coming in from the ocean. Too loud to sleep. We had this problem 2 out of the 7 nights! One final, but important note about the owner. It was agreed and explicitly confirmed by the owner in writing that the parking expenses would be paid by the owner. But the owner was not prepared to live up to this obligation and refused to pay for the parking costs. He had given us the option to pay the rental amount through Paypal. Apparently Paypal charged him some costs for the (international) transaction. For him this was a reason not to pay the parking fee of $ 140 ($20 a day) that the hotel charges. No way that we´ll go back.

  Owner response: The review submitted by this guest is an extreme exaggeration. I have had now over 200 families stay in my unit and more than 10 families that have rented from me more than once. None of them have complained about noise from wind or construction. In fact, there is no construction that is taking place in or around our facility. You can call the hotel to confirm. I never received any complaint from this guest about noise, and had I received a complaint about any type of noise, I would have immediately worked to resolve his concern. The motivation for our "European" guests complaint was completely motivated by his dissatisfaction to the parking fee charged, of which he is only telling half of the story. He was required by our contract to pay 50% of the rental fee in advance and 50% on arrival, as is our standard terms. He attempted to pay the fee by wire transfer and we provided all of our bank account, account number and routing number information as is typical in the US. He provided confirmation of the wire having been completed, but after nearly a week the funds were not received in our account (as occurs occasionally when someone is trying to scam us). I was very patient in holding the reservation and suggested he try the wire transfer again, but he did not want to because in spite of the transfer not being completed, his bank still charged him a large fee. I suggested he could pay by Paypal, but that in any case he would be responsible for paying the contract fee in full (ie. he was responsible for any service fees). He paid the full fee by Paypal, but refused to pay the transaction fee of $160 that I was charged. When he arrived, I offered to offset the transaction fee with the parking fee that he would be charged to he credit card. He didn't agree that he should pay any of the transaction fee. I tried to explain to him that when we agree on a set price in the US, it means you pay the full agreed upon price, regardless of the cost of his getting the fees to me by express mail, wire transfer, or pay pal. He stubbornly refused to understand this concept, then threatened revenge, and continued to harass me on a number of occasions. Fortunately, out of over 200 guests, we have never had anyone besides him that had anything but glowing comments. I am glad to provide contact information for a long list of former guests to anyone that is interested.

  We recently stayed here for 8 nights and each one was better than the next. The condo was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed and more. The views were wonderful, the pools were clean and the slide became priceless to us since we have 3 children and they never bored of it. The owner was great through the whole process and there was no need to bother him the entire stay. The resort and it's staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome. The concierge even found us a great little neighborhood to take the children trick-or-treating. The fact that parking & beach amenities were included were the icing on the cake. The kids loved the reef right off shore and went snorkeling pretty much every day. We would highly recommend staying here.

  We stayed here in mid July for a week and it was a great time (3 girls). The condo is very nice and a great size for the 3 of us. The bedrooms are large and the beds were so comfortable. There are flat screen TVs in each bedroom as well as the living room. The wraparound porch is great too- the views are excellent. It was nice staying in a condo and having all the amenities of a hotel. The staff was very friendly and it was nice being able to order drinks/food at the pool area. The hotel is very clean and the workout room was nice. All the equipment seemed new and it was high end/high tech and there was a fruit platter in there if you wanted something post workout (a nice unexpected benefit). The lobby area offered ice water with either lemons or oranges daily and it was so good especially after coming in from the pool. The location is great too, it is very convenient to many shopping areas and great restaurants. There is a beautiful Publix down the street and Whole Foods is close also. The owner is very easy to work with and is very responsive with questions and gave us some great recommendations for dinner/going out/shopping areas. The only thing we thought the condo could have used was a full length mirror. We would definitely go back!

  Great location. Amazing view. Awesome pool. Friendly staff. The space of a condo with the amenities of a hotel...great combo. We would stay there again. Could use a DVD player in the unit.

  We stayed in this 2 bedroom condo for only 5 days in January 2010. I wish we had more time. The apartment was immaculate. The furniture, decor and appliances were high end. The resort was very nice with the heated pool, bars and abundance of lounge chairs. The staff were there to please. Always greeted with a smile and they went out of their way to serve. The owner was extremely pleasant and offered his assistance if needed. He even gave us his cell phone #. I am definitely considering a trip back next year

  From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the valet doormen to the time we checked out, our stay at this condo location was perfect.... The description does not do it justice. The views were incredible. Both pools were lovely. The concierge's bent over backwards to find us things to do and places to eat. Everyone was very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful..... The spa facilities were heaven... The only complaint was that it did not last long enough..... We were here for the 4th of July and the fireworks were spectacular!!!! We sat on our balcony and could not decide where to look.... We saw fireworks from every surrounding community. It was an experience of a life time.
