Great location and the unit was clean. Perfect space for a family of 4. Kitchen was adequate for cooking needs. The negative is that the mattress and box spring could use updating as they appear to be very old, and it was uncomfortable.

Great location

Couldn’t ask for a better location. Laundry room is free to use which is a first. The condo itself was good size and not cramped. Kitchen had the bare minimum but was fine for us.

The building is old and dirty. The outside water was not working to rinse sandy feet. The pool was not working. The elevator was not working most of the time. The condo is 1990s old and outdated. The dishwasher has to be run 2-3 times to clean dishes. The refrigerator doesn't shut all the way without pushing it closed. The shower curtain had blood and feces on it and took 3 days for someone to drop a new one at the door and not even come in to replace it. The 2 and 3 floors have great views if you are oceanfront as we were. The first floor has none. The beds were very firm. If you are looking for a place with a great view and don't need amenities or care about it being updated i hope you get it at a bargain price like we did

Beautiful location, but main bed was very uncomfortable. Fridge didn't seal unless you pushed the bottom of the door. Had to buy our own toilet paper and paper towels, even though it was stated they would be there. Overall a good place to stay as a family.

If I was reviewing this property on location and view alone, I would give it a five star. However, there are several items that definitely need a dressing. First in both bathrooms, there was mold or dirt inside the handles of the showers. Disgusting. The kitchen definitely needs additional supplies. Overall, the furniture just needs sprucing up.

A nice unit

Overall a nice experience at this property. There have been some recent updates to the unit, but it is still pretty dated. Especially the bathrooms. Despite this, it was comfortable, and the location is really great. You can't beat the views and the beach access, and we liked that it was centrally located, making day trips to the northern and southern parts of the island convenient.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay. The location & proximity to the beach cannot be beat. It was clean & somewhat updated. There was new flooring throughout. The only negatives were that we didn’t have a parking pass & the office closes before check in. We were concerned that we would get towed. We were able to get one the next day. Also, the place needs more updating especially the dishwasher as I’m afraid it did not get dishes very clean.

Golden Strand J2

The unit was clean and well appointed. A little TLC needs to happen to the portable A/C unit in the MB as cardboard and painters tape do not seal against gale force winds during the spring. Temps dropped and the unit was cold. Heat worked. I asked for the pool codes from the property manager and am still waiting. Our very kind neighbor gave us entry into the pool area. Overall, enjoyed our stay and will stay again.
