Ease of check in was great. Plenty of towels and very nice to have washer and dryer in unit. However, aesthetically, the condo was in need of some upkeep/upgrades. Overall, our stay was good but would choose a different room at Crystal Sands for our next stay.

Quiet Get Away

The condo was very quiet and clean. There was an issue with the heater (I know it’s Florida and should not be 36 degrees), however maintenance was there within the hour bringing me a space heater and taking care of the issue. Great service. The condo is centrally located which made getting to and from the Bay Bridge very easy.

Perfect location

Great condo right on the beach. We had some cool weather so enjoyed the patio looking at the ocean on those days. Property management was quick to respond to questions. This condo is close to stores & restaurants. This is the second time we have stayed at this property and will be back. My only request is for all VBRO owners to provide better quality pillows. I have stayed at VBRO properties around the world and the pillows are always cheap. Regardless I look forward to returning to this unit in the future!

Great condo

Really a great condo with comfy furniture. Only issue we had was the DVD player in living room didn’t work so we took the one from bedroom and put it in living room. But then could never figure out how to get the tv channels back. However, if we would of had our husbands there, am sure they could have figured it out

The property was very dated and needed to be remodeled in general. There was wallpaper on the walls; the stove burners did not work great; it appeared to have water damage above the shower and plaster was broken; the vents were old and dirty looking; the bathroom ceiling was black; some of the sprinklers were hanging down off the ceiling. The dryer put black marks on multiple clothing. In addition, there was not any hotpads to get pans from the oven so had to buy that. The couch appeared to be broken so we didn’t sit on it. This was our third time staying at crystal sands and have been pleased except for this visit. Location is good.

Property is very dated and smells moldy/mildewy upon entry. There are broken tiles in the bathroom. The location is great. WiFi worked whenever it wanted. Had to reset it multiple times per day. The unit did have a full working kitchen. Pool is in the shade in the front parking lot of property. Went to use it and it was closed so they could power wash the building.

Disappointed

Wasn't super clean. No restaurants with walking distance. asked for late check out instead of 10 i asked for 12 they wouldn't do it. Our flight didn't leave till 6 had to bring our bags to beach. Spent $300 in ubers since nothing was close and didn't rent a car. Would stay closer to harbor walk if not going to rent a car. It did have great view of beach
