Overall the value was great, and realistically I would give 4 1/2 stars. We would have appreciated the use of the balconies. The accessible balcony (with the view of the bay) shown in the pics didn't have chairs, but the main balcony wasn't accessible and it had chairs that could have been used for the other balcony.Condo has a Keurig machine so it would be nice to have a few pods to start with.

Overall a good stay...
Overall the room was comfortable and we had a great stay. The location was great and was within walking distance to tons of local attractions, shops, ice cream and restaurants. The room itself could use some updates/touch up but overall okay. The on-site laundry on the 2nd floor is over an app, not change which was convenient. The view of the sunset from the pool and yard space and parking lot was 2nd to none. On select nights one of the restaurants next door does fireworks over the water. Make sure to get the parking permit for your car. Signs everywhere showing non permit vehicles will be towed.

The location was excellent. Walking to all the fun bar, restaurants and music! The condo space was super big, as expected. But it needed to be cleaner! We understand Florida stuff but didn’t care to see a couple cockroaches in cupboards. Two of the 3 balconies were out of order! Unsafe sharp material hung inside the living room from balcony that couldn’t be used. This building needs updated and because of its location and great living space it would be a great place to return to.

Very Disappointed
Firstly, after booking I was unable to stay in the unit on the dates selected due to work; however, even after purchasing trip insurance policy, this was not covered so I could not change the dates. Second, the owner of this condo did not maintain it, and there were filthy conditions (entryway smelled horribly of urine) for the building and also safety issues, as all 3 balcony sliding doors did not have working locks (broom handles - really??) the pool was cloudy and smelled so we couldn't use it when we wanted.

We had a great experience. Condo was spacious clean and very inviting. Staff at Vacasa was excellent. Eric was very friendly and helpful. He went out of his way from answering questions and coming to open door.
Will stay again
