The elevators are awful, I can’t stress that enough, and the front desk was not helpful with the arm bands. Also, the arm band charge was a scam in my opinion considering most would not work. And, it should be included in the price!!! Paying extra was a rip off!!!!

The elevators during July and early August experience some of the highest guest traffic of the entire year. We understand that Laketown Wharf has also experienced some elevator outages, and building maintenance works as diligently as possible to make repairs when issues arise. Unfortunately, with the high volume of visitors and the number of condominiums in the area, during peak season, repairs can sometimes take longer than anyone would like.
Please note that the elevators, armbands, and on-site resort staff are managed by the resort and are outside of Emerald Beach Rentals’ control. We’re sorry these issues negatively impacted your experience and appreciate your understanding that, as the property management company, we are limited in our ability to address resort-managed amenities and operations.
Spent the last week here for my daughter’s birthday the room was beautiful with a great view! We loved it!

The master shower had mold all in it include the shower head. This can be very dangerous. The elevators are a massive issue. This unit is on the 20th floor. There are 6 elevators for hundreds of units. People would crowd the elevator to avoid a long wait often making them over the weight limit. The beach is across the street with one walkway there that crosses a very busy street by a local hangout. The beach area is very crowded, like shoulder to shoulder. The pools are cloudy and gross. My child was in a pool with cigarette butts and bandaids. Grounds were very unkept. Definitely keep an eye on your surroundings and your family. NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE! I asked about this prior to booking. There were several areas my grandmother couldn’t go with family because they wouldn’t allow electric wheelchairs.

We did have the whole shower completely recaulked after we received your complaint. We apologize that maintenance wasn't done prior to your arrival.
We had an amazing time the week of July 28-August 2nd. The condo was perfect for two families that included 9 people all together. It was spacious and comfortable. We had everything we needed from kitchen utensils and supplies to beach chairs and wagons. Definitely will be booking again with you all! Thank you for making our vacation one to remember!
First thing you will notice is that you are on the second to the top floor, which is an amazing view of the city and beach!! All 3 rooms are as advertised. This room suited my stay perfectly, would recommend
Condo was nice exactly like pictures and Andrea was great in helping us!

Reviewer Comments:
It's a little hard to separate our experience with the actual condo/living space and the Laketown Wharf resort, so I'll try to be as honest and forthright on separating the two in the review.For the condo, it was as described. Great space, views, and fit our two families (9 total) with relative ease. My only suggestion to improve the stay would be to replace both beds in the primary bedrooms. You can feel every spring quite literally. Where the stay less than ideal was the property, specifically the elevators and maintenance. There were days we waited 30-45 minutes for an elevator - and multiple times gave up and had to walk the 20 flights of stairs. If it's check-out time (10am) or check-in time (4pm), good luck! Elevators would show up completely full of people and you'd have to wait 3-4 times just to sneak onto a very crowded, hot elevator. Multiple times during our stay, multiple elevators were "down" for maintenance, including one elevator being completely down the entire 7 night stay. Since the condo is on the 20th floor, this did create a significant issue and impact our feelings about the stay.There were some smaller issues, like our wristbands not working at the beach access gates and one of the pools being closed for 2 days during our stay, but some of that can't be planned for.All in all, I definitely recommend the CONDO, but I think on busy holidays or high traffic times, you have to take into account the elevators.
Andrea was the absolute best! She made our experience so great that I will continue to visit any property that she manages! Day and night she was there to help or explain any question I had. I work in real estate and customer relations is one the most important attributes when it come to the customer service industry. She blew it out of the park!! I’m hard person to impress and so are my fellow 10 relatives. Everyone in my family smiled the whole time and loved their stay. 10 out of 10!

The room itself was great! Communication was quick and easy prior to arrival but once we arrived the onsite staff was not. We had to wait 20 mins for a staff to give us a luggage cart bc they were on a lunch break. Made everyone wait to check in or get carts. Only allowed us one cart when we had two families two carloads to bring to the 20th floor. That is terrible service for how much we paid for this stay. Also the elevators are a nightmare. Took forever to check out and get anll our stuff out of the room bc of the one cart. Other than that the beach was beautiful and room was great.

Reviewer Comments:
Upon arriving, the condo seemed to be as advertised. The check-in process took approximately 45 minutes, and the staff was not very friendly. There were only four working elevators, and the restrooms by the lobby were filthy. The glasses were dirty in the cabinet. The most disappointing was the roaches in the cabinet which caused us to throw away all of our snacks and bread.

Sir, we are sorry your stay wasn't top-notch. We communicated with you in real-time and you told us that other than a cabinet not closing and one of the shelves bowing that your property was excellent. You never communicated that there was an issue with bugs or we would have sent pest control immediately. This is why we have real-time messages to be able to solve any guest issues promptly. We are sorry if the condo staff didn't help you in a timely manner, but they do not work for Emerald Beach Rentals. You were also checking in during the busiest time of year which typically produces a line. We are sorry your experience wasn't great. We would have made it right had those issues been communicated to us. We hope you'll come again in the future and we can make your stay right next time!
First of all when we went to check in it was mass hysteria! The front desk worker was extremely rude, there were no carts to unload our luggage, and we weren’t even allowed to check in near the elevators. The elevator to guest ratio is a joke, we waited 30 minutes for the elevator one day! The worst part of the condo were the mass amount of roaches in our condo! I contacted the rental company & they told me pest control had sprayed but could come back. We found out later that pest control in fact did not come! We had roaches all in our kitchen, in our beds, and they even got into our luggage! There was also large amounts of marijuana being smoked throughout the condos & we could smell it at all times! We honestly should get a refund due to the simple fact that we had an infestation of roaches!! Do not waste your money on this place, because it is a joke! Pictures are nothing like what the condo actually looks like.

We are so sorry this was your experience when you stayed with us. We heard your complaint and have taken all of the necessary steps to fix the issues with this particular unit. We also routed your complaint to the HOA so they were aware of the issue with staff on the property. The HOA is also fumigating as well, and the unit is currently undergoing a deep cleaning. This experience is unacceptable, and we are taking the proper steps to make this right for future guests.
My family of 8 rented this condo and it was the perfect size. Very spacious with a large balcony and great views of the ocean. The elevators were a little slow and very crowded at times but that is to be expected with such a large resort. This resort has a ton of amenities including 5 pools, golf, restaurants, shops, bowling, arcade and a nightly light show. It’s in a great location with many restaurants, shops and entertainment within walking distance. The only hiccup we had was no water and AC for a day due to a water main break. However, the host was amazing and frequently checked on us and provided updates. I wish this host was in charge of all the resorts at PCB. I highly recommend this condo and resort. I can’t wait to be back!

Drove 9 hours with a 2 babies to find out I received the wrong log in information for the parking pass so we were not able to get that. Went to the condo, was sent the wrong door code. Checked in on Sunday so only emergency staff on call. Was told it could take 24 Hours for them to respond. Finally got into the condo an hour or so later with 2 toddlers screaming. Guest bedroom tv screen was cracked. Tent for the beach was very dry rotted. Wagon was on the verge of breaking. Not enough elevators for guests. Once in elevator you are stuffed with as many people as possible, no air and reck of marijuana. Pools were dirty, plumbing sucked. Definitely never staying there again!!

Great views. Lots of security so my family felt safe. Very fast response if something is wrong with the property. Definitely recommend for families.
Great location to anything you need. Loved all the pools and easy walk to the beach. Only flaw was the elevators. They take forever and we’re very hot. We were told they are replacing them in September so hopefully that will help.
Great for families. Kids had a blast in all of the pools (they insisted on trying all of them). Elevators are always crowded and it takes forever to get on one, especially with a group of 10. But we all enjoyed the views and the beach so I would stay again.
We had a fantastic stay in this condo. Everything was as described in the listing. Even though the condo is across the street from the beach, we still had a great view of the beach and ocean. The condo was clean, had everything we needed, and the elevators have been updated and are nice and fast 🙂.
