Exactly as described. Clean room. Loved the pool and easy beach access!! Also loved it was on the 2nd floor not far from the elevator! Upon arrival there was an issue with the sliding glass door but we were able to reach out and request maintenance to come fix and they took care of it! Only complaint was not impressed with the pots/pans and cooking utensils but we managed. Would still stay here again!

4/10 Poor

Not a safe condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Sliding door didn’t lock, door frame of main door was busted, crack in bedroom ceiling had water at the start of hurricane. The couch and rug in the living room were nasty!!!! Dirty & heavily stained and almost disgusting. I covered the couch in a sheet to sit on it. Definitely time to get new ones !!! Not worth the money at all !!!!!!

Excellent place

For who is seeking for a place to stay, facing the beach, this a excellent option. Staff is friendly, they were constantly cleaning and keeping the place in order for the guests.

The furniture in this condo definitely needs updated the bed was very uncomfortable we didn't sleep well our entire time here other than that it was what we expected. The staff on the other hand was not what we expected. They were exceptional. They were so kind to everyone they spoke with even when addressing concerns of rule violations at the pool with people. They literally work tirelessly to keep things going. We came in and hour after they got power back from a hurricane and we hardly noticed there had even been a hurricane to begin with. The news reported it was the worst in the area in 20 years but staff diligently got things back in order. It was obvious they are consistent with the level of dedication they put into their work. My husband and I both agreed we will definitely stay at the boardwalk again because of it. Though probably not the same room unless they upgrade the furniture because we woke up sore evey morning.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay and would book again. I would recommend a keurig coffee machine but it did have a regular coffee maker. We planned ahead and brought a small keurig so not a big deal, we just prefer making a cup at a time. Loved that the property has a sun deck away from the pool. It was a good place to get away from the noise of the busy pool because we did not have the grandkids and preferred a quieter place to relax. The market and bar and grill was an added convenience and the food was great. Overall a wonderful experience!

6/10 Okay

Great location. Condo needs to be updated.

I gave this condo 3 stars bc the location was great. However, the room needs to be updated. The sofa is dirty and the bedding looks like it is 20 years old. The walls could also use a fresh coat of paint. The kitchen was nice and functional. If we are in a bind and need a place to stay this may be an option. However, next time I will try to book my stay earlier to avoid this location.

The elevators are horrible. They take forever and are extremely hot. Highly recommend getting a unit on the second floor so you can just take the stairs. There was no access to the fitness center. The outlets in our condo weren’t set correctly, making it difficult to charge devices.

Wonderful Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a wonderful stay! This condo is perfect for families! I hate condos that are way up on the top floors. This condo is on the second floor, so I was completely comfortable with our kids being on the balcony with us. The room was clean, everything worked perfectly. The resort is amazing as well. The zero entry pool is so fun, as well as the two ‘hot pools’ as my kids call them. And we loved the splash pad! It was so fun getting ice cream from the market downstairs. And there was a snow cone vendor on site during the day. It was so easy getting to the beach. We would definitely stay here again. Nothing but praise!

The only issue we had was the knob on the closet door in the bedroom came off when we first arrived. We called the front office and they came up and fixed it promptly.

Enjoyed my stay

I really enjoyed my stay. I absolutely love that it was on the second floor i had a perfect view of the beach and of the pool i am not a fan of highest so this 2nd floor was nice. The room was spacious all 6 of us fit nicely in the room just as advertised. I would definitely stay here again. I do wish the kids spash pad was open during my stay it looks like it was being updated so it was closed.
