The property was wonderful! We so enjoyed our time there! It was very clean and pretty. The view from the balcony was so nice and the kitchen was great! Loved the big bar countertop. The master bath had a lot of space - big shower and plenty of counter space.

This is One of the most cozy, cutest & cleanest places I have stayed in! & the view was great, the place is quiet and the outside in the pool area with the ocean view makes you feel like you’re on a tropical island somewhere. Very family friendly & Will be coming to this exact room next year.

Very Disappointing Experience
The greatest negative part is that when we entered the unit the rug in the living room was dirty. The armchairs were stained and the sofa in the living room was stained as well. There was stain on the floor next to the armchair. It wasn’t pleasing to receive an emailing after we left charging us additional 400 for the mess we didn’t cause.

Unhappy with Construction!
The condo itself was gorgeous and location was perfect! However, construction was going on in the condo directly above us and even after I called the booking agent “my vacation haven” unfortunately nothing could be done. Banging and hammering began around 7:30 AM and continued throughout the day. It was very loud & disturbing. I was so disappointed as I carefully reviewed several condos before reserving and intentionally stayed away from those that mentioned that there was construction going on on the property. We had a 3 year old that needed afternoon naps but was unable to have them. The noise was so loud we packed up and had to leave the condo bright and early each morning. I asked if we could get a refund so we could book something else and was told everything is non refundable no matter what the situation upstairs was and that they have no control over construction. I do understand that they have no control but i when you pay a lot of money for a nice place to stay, you don’t expect to have this type of situation. I feel like a resolution should have been made or at least a partial refund or credit due to the circumstances.
Again, the property is beautiful, just not pleasant to visit when heavy construction is going on.

Great condo in a safe and convenient location!
Westwinds was in a great location with free shuttle access to Baytowne Wharf. The Tiki Bar on site also served lunch & drinks by the pool or directly on the beach, so you didn’t even have to leave your chair. Plenty of gated access, felt very safe and was not overcrowded. This condo is on the second floor so you could also take the stairs if the elevator wait was too long. Condo was in great condition and we had a great time.

Nice unit. Not much of a view.
This is a very nice unit on the second floor very close to the elevators and the stairs which is nice since it’s just one flight down to the beach access. We really enjoyed the unit and nearby shops, restaurants and tennis facilities. The only draw back is the view is really not that great at all. The laundry and dishwasher supplies are not enough for a week stay so you need to buy more. It’s not a big deal but it would be nice if they left provided more.

This property was perfect for our family of 5. The proximity to the beach and pool can’t be beat! Also appreciated all of the ‘extras’ included with 4 beach chairs, a beach umbrella and pack and play. Was nice to not have to lug everything in our car and use what the property provided. We’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic!
We had a great stay! The condo was just as described/pictured. I would call it more of an ocean view instead of oceanfront since it is located on the second floor and you see mostly the palm trees and pool. However, we loved being on the second floor because it allowed us to take the stairs instead of the elevator. We took our own sand toys and chairs but next time we would leave those at home…plenty of nice beach chairs, umbrella and sand toys (including a boogie board). Quick five or six minute walk from the condo to the beach. The pool area is great and everyone enjoyed a treat from the tiki hut beach bar. Property overall is clean and very nice. Beach area is great too and you can rent chairs/umbrella for any length of time. We have kids the ages of 12, 7 and 2 and they all had a great time. Overall, we would definitely stay here again and again!
