Direct Oceanfront_Roomy/Reasonable_ 3 Bedroom 2 Bath_On The Beach With A Pool

The location is excellent! Nice building with a lot of permanent residents (some of whom - not all - seem to resent the renters). This condo seems lost in time without acknowledging wear and tear over the years, nor the need to update anything. The decor is old "beach" rattan and the furniture is covered with ugly slipcovers that really need cleaning. The kitchen and baths are old and have not been renovated. They are also very small. We had problems with a toilet and the air conditioning which the manager tried to take care of promptly, but it was always the next day, so we had to endure. Finally he had to move us as the A/C could not be fixed and the temperature in the condo was over 85 degrees. It did get a new A/C for future guests. The most positive thing I can say is that the beds were very comfortable and slept well. I would not recommend this condo unless serious renovation is done.

Oceanfront and quiet

We just got back from what was planned as a 5 night stay. We found it to be very clean with lots of room for the 5 of us. It was very quiet except for the sound of the ocean of course when we went out on the nice balcony which we loved. The kitchen was well stocked with everything one would need including a Keurig coffee maker as well as a drip type. There was even a blender. The dishwasher was very quiet and worked well. We like the place so much that when we found out that it would be vacant for a few more days we decided to stay longer and extended our stay by 3 more days. It is very convenient to shopping. There is even a Tiki Bar on the beach just one building away at the Hilton which was a definite plus and surprise. The only negative thing I can say about this place is the carpet on the balcony was loose and needs to be secured. The sliding door was very difficult to close but I fixed it some by cleaning out the trash from the tray where the door slides, that had accumulated over the years probably from the last hurricane. It was for these reasons I gave it 4 stars. We would definitely stay there again.

While facility overall was as advertised, it appeared to be getting minimum attention. Sink drain out, not enough towels, porch needed cleaning, etc. Would not rent again.

This is a beautiful, well-kept condo. The condo itself is in Arcadian II, older or not as well-maintained as Arcadian I next door, but the differences did not in the least impair our satisfaction with our visit (we paid $140/night, outstanding for a nice beachfront condo). I loved the roominess, the deep teal luxurious carpet, and the ease of access. The 4th floor location was high enough not to get beach-visitor noise, but low enough to feel connected with the ocean. When walking into the living room, the ocean is right there. This corner unit provides side as well as front and back windows. The kitchen was well-stocked; bedroom areas are private; parking is conveniently right out front. There isn't much beach at high tide; aim for low tide for playing and sun-bathing on the beach. This is a family-friendly unit, although pets aren't permitted; I expected that bathrooms might not be in the very latest styles, but neither is my home! It was very quiet; no intrusive beach-party noise or noise from other units. Ample trolleys are available in a covered area to the left of the front door. It was a pleasure to be there.
