Fantasea is the upscale vacation rental. Highly recommend it for large groups . We had eight adults and it worked perfectly.
Have a few comments and suggestions: + Need a small cabinet in the 2nd floor bedroom at the rear....not enough places to set items. No counter for storage in bath either so cabinet is really needed. + Could use a second bedside table in the front bedroom on 2nd floor. +Would be nice to have luggage racks in bedrooms +Thank you for the small toiletries for our use.....very handy. + One of the main reasons we chose this unit was the private swimming pool and hot tub. However, the hot tub was broken so that was a disappointment. Would have been nice if offered a rebate of some funds due to this malfunction. +Grease drainage tray on the stove was full........had not been cleaned..we cleaned before could use +Need more kitchen towels + Would be nice to have chairs in the bedrooms too + Plastic kitchen items for outside would be helpful.+ Ants really bad in the efficiency type unit on the lower floor.+ The automated entry system was perfect. Great feature!
Thank you for a great place to stay on our vacation! Lots of great amenities....grills, kitchen well stocked, nice appliances, lots of space.
The staff at Blue Swell was so helpful to us, especially David. I thank him so much in that we had an item lost in the unit and he helped so much. However, it was not recovered, unfortunately. But, if it were to appear, please contact me.
The location was ideal as well and access to beach was perfect.....not to mention Thomas' Donuts!!! hahaha
Everything was topnotch as far as the unit, furnishings, parking, access and service. Would definitely try again ...........with a few understandings.
Thank You!!
After our stay here my family and I decided this is our favorite beach area of all ( after spending years on east coast beaches). The water is clear and beautiful, the sand silky soft and white, our weather was perfect. Our little grandsons loved the little fish swimming around their feet!
This is a very beautiful house and all the descriptions were accurate. We arrived late on Friday evening and everything was clean with plenty of towels just as promised. We did have a couple of issues. We asked for maintenance to attach the ladder on the bunk bed as we have two little grandsons that love to climb. Maintenance came out promptly on Saturday and took care of it. We appreciate that!
The pool guy came late Sat afternoon, just as we were getting ready to get everyone out to go to dinner. Made some comments about we must have checked in early, and we " really" needed to add water to the pool??? The pool level seemed fine to us, not low at all, not sure what that was about. A little while later he rang the doorbell and told us he would start the hose and we needed to turn it off in an hour or so? We explained we were getting ready to leave for dinner and didn't know what time we would be back. He seemed a little miffed by that and said we should run the hose when we came back! He also told us he saw a brick in the bottom of the spa...(we noticed it there and wondered about it also) and we needed to get that out.
Wow! If I had wanted to do home maintenance chores I could have stayed home....lol. Seems to me that would be the reason the mgmt company hired him?
There is a real problem with fire ants in the pavers around the pool area. We were very meticulous about looking out for any crumbs dropped by ourselves and the little boys, but if we missed a single one, they came out like crazy. We did report this to management and hopefully they have resolved this issue.
One other item, was really scary to us when we realized. The last day we opened the door where the elevator is (just a regular door) in the main living area (3rd level) and were shocked to see the shaft completely open, there was no safety gate or anything to prevent small kids (4 and 2, or even adults) for that matter from falling into it. We keep a close eye on our babies but just innocent play could have been deadly. We hope management will correct this before someone gets hurt.
Overall this is a really great house, and we loved our little mini vacation beach trip!
We stayed at this property May 22nd-26th. It definitely lived up to my expectations. The house is beautiful and loved the high end finishes. Located right across from the beach and literally steps away from a place to grab some good food (along with some not so healthy but amazing doughnuts and ice cream!) if you dont want to cook. The property management company was also great. They were very responsive to any needs. They (Mark) met us on arrival to go through the house. Somehow I missed in the description that the kitchen, dining, and king master was not on the lower level, but on the 3rd floor. This was only an issue for us because of my aging parents with aging knees and taking approx. 30 steps from bottom to top was not going to work very well. Mark notified the office and we were able have the elevator enabled for my parents the next day. We had 13 people in our party and all slept comfortably. We had a queen air mattress that a couple of our kids opted to sleep on instead of on the fold out couch. They didn't have any extra blankets anywhere we could find, but we had a couple in our cars so it worked out. It was nice having so many bathrooms with a large group. They supplied plenty of towels. The kitchen was great and stocked with a surplus of dishes. Pots and pans were adequate for what we cooked. They could use a few more utensils like big serving spoons. They only had one that wasn't slotted but it was little and of poor quality. They could also use some storage containers. On to the Cabana Suite. Very nice! It worked wonderful for my parents. However, unless you go through the gate between the units, the cabana is the only other way to access the pool. This did not cause any real issues for us though. I thought they could use a few hooks or something by the pool area so you could hang wet pool or beach towels. (BTW pack your own beach gear. There are 4 chairs in the garage but that was it. I bought an umbrella which we left at the property). Also, the one grill that's not locked, flames up terrible and could use some grill grates. Have a spray bottle ready!!! Lastly, I had worried about parking, but it was fine. We drove three 2014 Highlander's and we parked one in the garage and the other two in the driveway. Overall, we had a great time and would stay again in a heartbeat!
Love the layout and location of the house. Right next door to Thomas Doughnuts which we went to quite often. Place was awesome and very clean.
The house is on the quite end of the beach but still close to attractions. The place was very clean and organized. There were plenty of towels and travel items available for us throughout the entire weekend.
