Great experience and condo. Easy to get in and out. Great communication. There was some construction going on but it is understandable. If you want a property that is kept up and updated, they have to work on it sometime. Great place to stay.

We would absolutely stay here again. It was perfect for two adults and two teens. Perfect view, very nice condo and felt at home the whole week. When we arrived the coffe pot and blender were broke. We called the service number and new ones were delivered within an hour. We had a wonderful vacation, beautiful weather and made great memories.

Great Location

We had a great week on the beach! The condo was lovely and spacious. We ate dinners on the balcony every evening and even enjoyed fireworks there one night! It is an easy walk to the beach. It could benefit from some new couches and new chairs at the table. We cooked most of our food and the kitchen supplies were a little sparse. The grocery stores are very close. However, I would definitely go back! You just can’t beat that beautiful water and sugar soft sand!

Spring break with the family

The location of the condo was ideal and just a short walk from the beach. It had enough room for our family (6) and all appliances/TVs worked well. Absolutely love that there was a washer and dryer on site. Only suggestion would be to make sure you bring laundry detergent, surface cleaners (409/bleach), coffee filters, garbage bags, dish detergent and your own beach towels. There were no extras, but we were able to get all the beach toys at one of 4 Alvin’s around us. There is also a Whole Foods and Publix near by. We would stay here again, but come with all items needed

Andrea, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience at Ariel Dunes I. We are happy to know that this ideally located unit provided plenty of space for your family, all of the appliances and televisions worked well, and you enjoyed having a washer & dryer. Housekeeping leaves only a certain amount of such items as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, trash bags, and dishwasher detergent. Guests must supply their own additional supplies. We hope this did not cause too much of an inconvenience. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

Best family vacation ever!!!

This was a trip of many firsts for my family. We’ve never taken all 3 of our kids on a beach vacation, we’d never been to this part of Florida & we’d never rented a condo. Of course there were many anxieties about how it would go travel wise & our expectations of the condo vs what we were gonna get. I have to say, this rental was above and beyond our expectations. It was cleaned to perfection, the beds were super comfy, the views were superb and having Cabana Cafe downstairs was such a lifesaver when we were too exhausted to cook. We just got home and the kids are already missing the condo. We will definitely be returning. The Hamsayeh Family

Summer Escape

This was my family’s quick getaway before the start of the new school year, and my 7 year old asked to go to her favorite beach. We found this unit and booked it right away. We stay in Ariel Dunes whenever we come to town and we are never disappointed. The unit was clean, we found that the master bed was broken when we went to bed the first night, but management came by the next day and fixed it. The view of the gulf is always spectacular, and it’s just a short walk to the beach. The kitchen was stocked, missing a spatula, but the frying pan was non-stick…so we made it work. For the price, we think we found a deal, and the unit was beautifully decorated. We will definitely book again.

Not the best condo but sufficient.

The beautiful outside table seen in the picture was filthy and warped in real life, along with all of the other outside furniture. The couches were stained. The fridge water tasted awful, and to top it all off, there was no onsite hot tub!! So disappointed. The beds were comfortable though. It’s sufficient as a modified hotel room just not as a condo. Would not stay again.

Wacky check in

Don’t think you are going to get all your information a week in advance to check in. We had to contact them several times the day of checking and didn’t get it till 30 minutes after check in time. The unit is nice but lack of cleaning has it little grungy. I’ve never seen a vacation rental that has signs plastered all over. Seems childish. Personally I would keep looking, I want the check in information before I make a 12 Hr drive knowing my unit is secure.

Patrick, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your stay in this nice three-bedroom, two-bath condo at Seascape Resort. We apologize for any frustration caused during check-in. Normally on the day of arrival, an email is sent at 2:00 p.m., which provides door codes, gate codes, parking information, etc. We are only a phone call away, available to assist our guests 24/7. In regard to the signage, we find these gentle reminders necessary as not all guests are respectful in taking care of the condo as well as you. The condo will be undergoing a routine scheduled spring deep cleaning after the spring break season. This condo is also undergoing some updates, which includes new appliances. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

Decent on a budget

While the view was spectacular, it was clear no one had occupied the property for several weeks. All the faucets smelled of sulfur for the first day-and-a-half we were there. The host could have provided more paper goods and maybe a starter pod for laundry. The refrigerator had no working water/ice. Appliances need an update. We would call this "a decent option on a budget". Not terrible at all (again, a fabulous ocean view). But not overly impressive, either.

Scott, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your stay in this three-bed, two-bath condo in Seascape Resort. We are very happy to know that you thought this unit's view of the ocean is spectacular. Please accept our sincerest apology for more supplies not being provided and for the odor. As mentioned in the rental agreement, housekeeping provides a limited amount (starters) of such products as paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, and dish detergent. Guests must provide any additional items needed for/during their stay. Laundry detergent is normally not provided due to the sensitivity of many. We will forward your comment regarding the need for updated appliances to property managers so that they may provide any suggestions to the owner of this unit. It would be their decision to replace such pieces. We would have been more than happy to send someone to help remedy the issue with the water heater had we been made aware during your stay. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

Relaxing Stay

Our family enjoyed our stay here. The check-in process was very easy and condo was clean. The balcony was a great place to enjoy meals or just relax and take in the view. The bunkbed room is small and I agree with other reviews that a bedrail would be a nice addition for the top bunk. The bunkbed room stayed very hot and we had to put a fan in there to stay cool. There is a window in the bunkbed room and other bedroom that are off the main walk-way but it was not noisy. Elevators move fairly quickly and parking never was an issue. Nice pool that was never crowded and nice workout room. The cons, as other people have mentioned, included the dryer, microwave, and mold on master bathroom ceiling. The dryer did not work well and even after several cycles, clothes were not dry. It also made horrible loud screeching noises. We did call the property management, as others have, so hopefully it has been fixed for future guests. The microwave could be replaced - rust inside. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Unit was not very clean. Coffee pot went out first day and received a replacement by management which with a $16 / 5 cup unit very cheap. Couch covers need to be replaced with good furniture. Bunk beds need security railing. Entire unit needs an update. Too far to carry items to the beach which was very crowded

Hi! Please accept our apology for the cleanliness of this three-bed, two-bath Ariel Dunes I unit upon your arrival. We would have been more than happy to send someone to reclean had we been made aware during your stay. When a coffee maker breaks, one is pulled from our supply of Mr. Coffee coffeemakers. We generally try to get 12-cup coffee makers but it is hard to find them in stock mid-season. The broken coffee maker was replaced with an identical coffee maker. The owner is aware of the couch covers and bed railings. Although the owner does not want to do any updates until the off season, they appreciate you bringing these issues to their attention. Visitors of this Ariel Dunes I condo are just 350 yards from Seascape Beach access. Ariel Dunes I does offer a free shuttle service and has several placards posted around the property advertising this service. Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

Family vacation

The condo was very clean and the beds were amazing. The view is fantastic and the elevator situation isn’t bad at all. The top bunk bed for the kids has no railing on it, so it was a little scary having a 7 year old sleeping up there. The condo could use a pizza pan and pizza cutter since that’s a fast convenient meal for families with children. The dryer didn’t work well at all. We had to dry clothes 3 times to get them fully dry, and while they were drying, the dryer made a really loud screeching noise the entire time. I called to have it fixed, but it was never fixed during our stay. The dryer situation was my only complaint. We washed clothes and towels a lot during our stay, so the drier situation was really annoying.

Crystal, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with some feedback regarding your vacation rental experience while staying in Ariel Dunes I 1502. We are happy to know that you found this three-bed, two-bath condo to be very clean with amazing beds and a fantastic view. It is always great when the elevators are working well. We apologize for there not being a pizza pan or pizza cutter available during your stay. We would have been more than happy to bring these items had we been made aware during your stay. This unit does contain these items now. We received a message on June 25th stating that the dryer was not working properly. Maintenance was sent out that day to clean the dryer vent and they reported back saying it is good to go. We are aware that the top bunk does not have a railing. These types of Ariel Dunes units do not have railings on the top bunks, as it is part of the design of the units. We will ask the owner if they would like for us to install a railing on the top bunk.

The property could be excellent, but it has old appliances and the microwave is unusable because it is rusted out in side. The master bath has mold on the floor boards by the shower.

The place was very spacious. All of the beds were very comfortable. Even though we were not on the beach, we had a great view and the walk was not bad at all. The unit had everything we needed. There are a couple of things that need to be updated. The rugs through out were extremely dirty. The ice maker did not work, but maintenance brought us a bag of ice.
