The property was laid out well. It does not make logical sense that guests of property owners cannot access the food and beverage service at the facility.
Secluded property in a gated community. Beach and ocean views tremendous. Loved sitting on the balcony (which is twice as long as the picture) and drinking coffee while relaxing in the morning.
Property management, location and beach were amazing. Unfortunately nothing else was. The condo was dated and dirty. The floors were coated with sand upon our arrival, walls are in desperate need of paint and the kitchen sink had a foul odor. Additionally, we were harassed by the security for over 30 minutes regarding our rental of lounge chairs. Also, we had issues getting back onto the property since we didnât have wristbands even though we explained we were a renter of an NPO. Truly disappointing. For the amount we paid I would have expected better.
The condo was an annex for my family's condo down the road. It was 2 miles from the family so I could easily be with my family during the day and evening but avoid crowding them by their having to find a place for me to sleep.
The beach access was amazing.
However, there was construction & remodeling with hammering and banging throughout the week. Also, the lock & key to our condo was difficult to use. A card FOB or keyless entry would be an improvement.
Sadly, the condo was outdated and needed renovation. Photos on line certainly did not illustrate the true condition of property. Holes in walls where pictures were previously hung, mirrors were delaminated, scraped and scratched woodwork throughout, dusty and stained draperies, older appliances, walking on floor resulted in dirty feet, and TV was almost impossible to establish programming. We moved out after second night and reserved accommodations at the Longboat Key and Resort Club next door for the remaking two nights of our trip. I wrote to the Property Manager afterwards suggesting that the property was in need of attention and received no reply. I hope the owner of the property has an opportunity to read this review and act on the suggestion to update the property for the enjoyment of future guests.
The location was perfect and the views were beautiful. Our host answered all of our questions quickly and ensured we were prepared for our trip. We hope to return again soon!
The unit was close to the beach with an awesome view of the gulf and a nice stand of palms. Close to Lido/St Armandâs and several other nice restaurants.
