There was plenty of room for all of us and we each had a bathroom with plenty of towels, the kitchen was well stocked, we had everything we could have wanted. It was truly a delightful experience...I just wish it could have been longer!
It was perfect. They do a great job cleaning and having all the amenities you need. The elevators smell amazing

This place was SO CLEAN. They had plenty of toilet paper, dish cleaner, garbage bags, etc—little things that were nice not to have to think about. We rented bikes which was super fun. The beds were AMAZING. We plan to book it again for next year.
The ELEVATOR was even clean (!!!)
The porch was perfect. I don’t care what the listing says, we had an amazing view of the beach.

Pros- Nice location on beach, Super clean in condo as well as outside pool area, boardwalk. Management very responsive and we would Definately book a different condo with Stay Better Vacations but not with this owner. Very pretty furnishings. Nice view and location to shopping and restaurants. Kitchen well stocked.
Cons- No hot water in Kitchen so hard to wash and sanitize dishes, silverware or pans. Bathroom shower warm but not hot. Worst issue Ecobee temperature controlled by owner who only allowed 2 settings. So when hot during day we had to use 3 plug in fans to help. When a storm came through and temps dropped we had no control of thermostat. All the mattresses need replaced. Very hard and squeaked when you moved. For price with air condition issues by owner I would not book again especially when owner stated it should be run like a hotel and management of unit were not allowed to bypass code for us to control air flow. Maintenance had to come out twice due to temperature issues on 95 degree days. All vents were closed upon arrival as well.

Thank you for your feedback and compliment on our management services. We're sorry to hear about the hot water issue; we don't recall you mentioning it during your stay, but we would have been happy to send our handyman to assist. We will address the thermostat settings to find a solution that works for everyone - especially for future guests! We understand how important it is to have comfortable & cool accommodations, especially in Florida during the warmer months. We are so sorry it created a less than perfect visit, which is always our goal. We'll also check-out the mattress situation; pillows and mattresses options vary so much that sometimes it's a challenge to know if it's the mattress or a personal preference. We'll make sure your next stay with us is even better!
