Perfect stay

We very much enjoyed our stay! Beautiful condo, excellent view, parking spot in the parking garage is in the perfect location. We appreciated everything about the property, heated pool, tiki bar right off the beach, umbrella/beach chair service, quick elevators, the condo was well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking. We hope to book this property again in the fall!

Good time

kitchen sink was very stained and the screen on the balcony door was ripped badly. The twin bed mattresses were not very comfortable but everything else was awesome

Hi, Kevin! Thanks so much for reaching out about your experience! We took your review and made sure to fix all the issues you addressed. In Fall 2018, the kitchen was fully remodeled and now includes a new sink. Since your stay we have also fixed the screens and replaced the twin mattresses. We’re so sorry if these problems lessened your vacation experience in any way. We thank you and hope to see you again!

Awesome Vacation

The check in process was really easy. The resort was located right on the beach. The condo was nicer than the pictures. Suite 1402 is located close to the elevator and we never had to wait for more than 2 minutes for the elevator. The property was very secure. The bedrooms were clean and very nice. The unit was equipped with everything you need to live away from home for a few days. You are a short drive or walk to anything you need from Walmart to restaurants. I would definitely book again.

6/10 Okay

Only complaint was that the refrigerator was loud the entire stay. Overall the unit was clean .

The property is great for kids! The view from our unit was very good. Overall check in and check out was great. All workers encountered were very friendly. The unit was a little dated and needed some tlc. The screen doors to patio were not easy to open. The refrigerator was loud and obnoxious . The sink was still stained from previous reviews.

Perfect vacation for family of 5

The condo had everything we needed for the week. We were impressed with the cleanliness and it was tastefully decorated, has newer flooring/carpet. The pool was very nice, plenty of space and chairs available each day. It's nice having the beach bar accessible. We utilized the fitness facilities as well, they are well equiped. We also enjoyed a night dining at Ruth Chris' Steakhouse during our stay. Very conveniently located to all necessary stores/activities. Overall we loved SS unit 1402.

Outstanding property with perfect amenities and just lovely condo unit!

The only suggestion I would make to ownership is to fix/replace ceiling fan in master bedroom. We couldn't use because it rattled VERY loudly when on. Would also suggest changing out kitchen sink as it is rather stained/scratched and adding a few more supplies like large coffee mugs & Tupperware containers. However it certainly doesn't hamper a very enjoyable stay! Thank you for sharing your lovely beach home with us! Would love to come back!!!

Hi, Karen! Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention! In Fall 2018, the kitchen was fully remodeled and now includes a new kitchen sink. The fan has been rebalanced to cut down on noise and improve overall performance. We also try to restock the mugs and Tupperware as needed. We’re glad to hear that you still had an enjoyable stay and would love to have you back! Thank you again, and we look forward to your next stay with us!

Beautiful Condo and Resort!

Our family stayed at this beautiful unit the last week of June 2016. I was a little hesitant to book this condo since there were no reviews on vrbo and the fact that it was rented through Compass Resorts (haven't used them before). I have to say, everything went so smoothly and the condo was even better in person. You cannot get into the condo until 4:00 but we stopped by the Compass Resorts office (just a couple miles down 98 towards Miramar) early Sat. morning and they gave us the pool passes (rubber bracelets) and key cards we needed to proceed to the resort and start enjoying the ammenities until the key code to the room would work at 4:00. My family loved the lagoon pool, which was never too crowded. The Sandbar pool bar was very convenient when you needed something for lunch or a drink, but it was a little pricey, as expected. The 2 beach chairs and umbrella is not included so if you'd like to purchase those for the week, it's approx. $250/wk. You can bring your own beach chairs but no personal tents or umbrellas are allowed on the Silver Shells part of the beach. We had a reserved parking spot in the covered garage that was located very close to the elevators. The elevators were very fast, as we never had to wait more than 20 sec. for one to come. The unit was in good shape and what isn't pictured in these photos is a very large walk in closet in the master bedroom. I loved the flooring in this unit and all of the decor. The views from this unit are absolutely amazing! The only con for us was that the airport is very closeby and this resort is directly in their flight path. Many airplanes flew directly overhead multiple times a day and it could get a little noisy. By the end of the week we were used to it, but just something to think about. Otherwise the location was great and close to all the best restaurants and stores. Walmart is right across the street for groceries. I would highly recommend this property and we had a very happy experience with Compass Resorts- no problems whatsoever!
