Overall, we were very pleased with our stay at Sea View 104. The location, ease of access to the pool and beach, and the view were incredible! We took a day trip down to Siesta, and our entire group loved it but noted that we had so much more at our fingertips right at Sea View!
Here are the pros:
- View
- Proximity to the beach and pool (which was great for breaks from the sun, lunch, drink refills, etc.)
- Lots of nearby restaurants, stores, etc.
- WiFi was very good (with five people with multiple devices, this was very much appreciated!)
- Size of pool (always hard to tell from pictures, and this one was bigger than we thought it would be)
- Balcony
- Televisions
Cons (but wouldn’t keep us from returning):
- Parking at check-in, but it got taken care of and we appreciated getting an extra space!
- Mattresses are REALLY firm (almost went and bought mattress toppers to soften them just a bit)
- Nearby units had door locks with keypads instead of keys, and that would have been very convenient.
- Dryer was painfully bad (worked, but usually required double runs to actually get stuff dry, which we learned the hard way the first time using it)
- Higher level would have gotten us a bit of space from the pool noise, but that was counteracted by the ease of access by being able to use the stairs so easily
Overall, we were very pleased and noted that we definitely would return. Our goals were affordability, beachfront, a pool, and a good view. The pros of this visit and unit FAR outweighed the cons, and we look forward to a return trip!
