I love the old school feel, bringing back the '50s original glory. Back when it was a beach before everything became touristy. Back to my childhood.

Home away from home

I am in the Redington area multiple times a year to visit family. I am intentional about staying at small quaint efficiencies on the beach and this unit did not disappoint. The bed was cozy, the shower pressure was great, the appliances were all full size, the closet space was incredible. All my needs were met here. The neighborhood is spectacular with so much to do if you feel like venturing out. But if I’m being honest, it’s hard to leave the beautiful Gulf of Mexico steps from the door. The sunsets never get old…I will be back!

Nice location and quiet property

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at the Sea Rocket. We enjoy this area and like the quietness of the property. Unfortunately we experienced an issue upon arrival within the unit. The A/C unit was not working so the management company was contacted. By the time they contacted us with their solution we had already fully moved into the unit. We were offered to move to a different unit until the A/C could be repaired or remain in our unit where we could "just turn the fan on and open the windows since it isn't that bad out." Moving did not sound appealing as it was getting later and we had just traveled 24 hours so we stayed put but were not comfortable with the low windows being opened during the night. This seemed like a safety issue to us. Maintenance was able to replace the unit on day 2 of our trip but they also had to come back on the 3rd day to wrap up the job. The maintenance man was incredibly nice and I have nothing negative to say about him personally, but 3 out of our 7 days were inconvenienced by this issue. In addition, I would have assumed that the fully equipped kitchen would include dishes but there were no plates or bowl in the unit and the shower fixture was not in good working condition. The knobs fell off and were difficult to operate correctly. We chose this unit because it was updated but were slightly disappointed with the cleanliness and the malfunctioning of the items discussed above.

Thank you for your feedback. You contacted our on call person as this issue occurred after office hours. You were responded to very promptly by our on call agent as well as maintenance. We offered you a change of units because this was an extensive AC issue and we knew it wouldn't be remedied the same day as again this all happened late in the day and after office hours. AC units in Florida have to work VERY hard 24/7 for 365 days a year so the wear and tear on them is unlike other places in the world. The issue took 3 days but wasn't a true inconvenience since you were enjoying the beach on those days which made it more difficult for maintenance to enter the unit to do repairs. North Redington Beach is a very safe place and we do not believe you were in any kind of danger and we are sorry you felt that way. The kitchen is in fact fully equipped and does have dishes, bowls, plates, utensils etc... We will have maintenance look into the shower issue you mentioned as we have never been told this before.

Beach rental

I only gave contact a 3 with the prop mang, because I never was in contact with anyone during the whole process, until the end. I checked in “after hours” and hooked online. The place itself was fantastic. Loved how accessible it was to the beach! First time in FL, and it was a win from us. Thank You!

Cute studio unit small but nicely laid out with a full bed and sleeper sofa.

Property mgmt located close by for easy check-in and out. 10am check out is a little earlier then I have experienced with other rentals. Location of property is fantastic as it’s right on the beach & walking distance to places to eat. I’ would definitely book this place again!

Enjoyed our stay, but property management (V Trips) was horrible. Room ( not a “condo”) was on 2nd

Enjoyed our stay, but property management (V Trips) was horrible. Room ( not a “condo”) was on 2nd Floor not ground level as stated. Was given run around when we went to rental office to get keys- employees had no idea what they were doing and argued amongst themselves. Property was nice overall and location is great.

Hello April, We are sorry to hear that you had a difficult experience and a rough beginning to your stay. A studio, although missing the extra space of full bedroom, still utilizes the space to bring guests the comfort they need. If there was a misunderstanding on our part, we truly apologize. We will gladly review the details pertaining to the unit to ensure that the information is in fact accurate. If there was anything else that we could have done to make your stay more enjoyable, it would have been our pleasure and we hope that you still had a good stay overall. Understanding your frustrations, we are fully committed to making sure that our processes and procedures are being followed to the standards that our guests have become accustomed to. Again, we extend our deepest regrets and hope that you will continue to book with us in the future.

Not clean - poor follow through

We arrived to our rental late and quickly realized that it was not cleaned from the previous renter. The bed was unmade, the kitchen counters were dirty, there were dirty towels in the bathtub, and the previous renter's information packet was still on the table. We attempted to call the "24-hour line" and finally spoke to someone in New Jersey at 11:30 pm who told us "there is nothing we can do." Our vacation was soured from this experience. We went to the rental office the next morning and while all staff members seemed to be "understanding" we were told otherwise by the maintenance department at the unit. Our experience was not the first of a condo not being cleaned and that those who would be cleaning were "sketchy" otherwise. We removed our belongings when it was finally cleaned. We were also guaranteed a return call that day with information about a refund due to our experience. No call was ever received. We did get an email stating we would be getting our cleaning fee refunded however this has yet to come through. After another hour on the phone with the rental company we were told we would be getting a call back, again we wait. We will never stay at a property through this company again. Poor customer service and terrible follow through.
