This unit was very well received by my family. It was clean, spacious, and offered everyone their own space. Its location just next to Pier Park was invaluable. Being on the 18th floor really offered gorgeous vies of the Gulf/beach and added luster to my morning coffee sipping.
The areas which lowered the overall review are as follows:
- The unit lacked some larger pans to pan fry food in. We had to use a very small skillet several times in order to cook all the chicken we would need for some meals. This was tedious, and by having at least a larger pan to accompany the smaller, would have been greatly appreciated.
- The positioning of the tv in the queen bedroom was awkward, and the older children sharing this room were unable to enjoy the tv mounted in this position. The TV was mounted on a sidewall, instead of directly in front of the bed, where TV's are typically mounted.
- This unit did not come with any beach chair service, which made trekking in the soft sand a nightmare to set up personally owned canopy and chairs. Beach chairs would have been appreciated.
- The shower in the master bathroom appeared to be suffering from some mildew at the corners, and could use some bleach to spruce it up and remove the mildew stains. My wife insisted on showering with flip flops on to avoid potential fungus.
- The check-in process could have been explained better. I wasted precious time attempting to check-in in person, only to learn my online registration was all that was needed.
This unit was equipped with a Kuerig and a standard pot coffee maker. I do wish that was made clear. I brought ground coffee, anticipating only having a standard pot to use.
As stated, this unit was a nice condo to set up camp for a week. We would have no issues staying again in the future, but we will also keep looking for other condo's to compare and find our go to unit for years to come.
