We have stayed at the Sea Watch several times, but this was the best unit we have ever rented. From the moment we arrived, the condo felt like home. The location on the third floor was the best! We were able to park in the third-floor parking garage and unload on the level of our condo. We never had to use an elevator; there was a staircase right beside our room, giving us easy access to the beach and to the pool. The view from the balcony was breathtaking; we were able to see the sunrise from the master bedroom balcony and from the front balcony as well. The pizza and wings from the pizza shop in the South Tower were delicious and it was nice to go there the night we arrived since everyone was tired from the drive from Pennsylvania. The property was well-kept and the pool areas were recently renovated. There were daily optional activities for a small fee; our daughter and her friend enjoyed painting canvases and making candles.
The property is conveniently located in a quiet and secluded area within walking distance of the fishing pier and the Arcadian Shores/lake area. Both Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing are a fifteen-minute drive. The outlets, multiple restaurants, and Walmart are close by.
The unit was clean and welcoming. There were many updates like new carpet, new TVs, great lighting, an updated washer and dryer, and plenty of charging stations for electronics. The umbrella and the two chairs on the beach were convenient to have. There was plenty of room for the seven of us.
There were only a few suggestions that I would make. Anytime we have stayed at the Sea Watch, cooling the unit evenly has been a challenge. Some areas are cold, while others are quite warm. It was challenging to keep everyone comfortable, especially at night. While the master bathroom shower was spacious, the other two showers were quite small. And finally, the queen sleeper mattress was not suitable for an adult. A child could have slept on it comfortably.
Michele was easily accessible and very responsive to us before and during our stay. It is obvious that she takes great pride in her property. I would highly recommend this unit.
