This condo looks exactly as pictured! It is simply gorgeous! We had a very difficult check in and initial experience.
The building has primarily stair access, it is handicap accessible, from most entry points and only three elevators. There is one elevator for beach access and luggage. Maneuvering through the elevator stairwells is hard due to small areas and poorly aligned doors. Elevators do move quickly, so we found an unoccupied one typically within a few minutes. Saturday is a big move in and leave day, so be prepared. They have bell hop carts and grocery carts available for use, but again, these are hard to maneuver through the stairwell and doors.
The condo unit itself has an awkward setup at the entrance with immediate stairs and a small catwalk. This makes getting luggage and beach gear in and out hard, but doable. The master bedroom is upstairs and the other bed, bath, kitchen, and living room are downstairs. This is not obvious from the pictures. Something to keep in mind if you have kids, you will be on separate levels.
The unit is truly beautiful, though. 16 floors up with two balconies, one ocean and one bay side. The main living areas are spacious and you will find most of what you need in the well appointed kitchen.
The beach is lovely. Get your items out there early, around 6am, to guarantee your spot. It is filled up by 8:30/9am.
The negative, our condo was not clean and our access code for the door did not work. Gary with Vantage is awesome and very helpful. He was a lifesaver. Once inside the condo, it was dirty, there is no other way to say it. Crumbs on the kitchen table, dripped shampoo and sand in both showers, spit on a bathroom mirror, all the kitchen stainless, including the garbage can, were smeared with something, and I get it, it is the beach, but sand was everywhere. Even piles of sand under my kid's dresser. A pile of linens were thrown in the corner of our room, no clue what they were for or if clean or dirty. I spent an hour cleaning with the Clorox wipes I brought (thankfully) and the vacuum in the bathroom closet while my husband unloaded the car. Not what I wanted to do, it made for a bad start. Management DID 100% respond to our complaints for which we are very thankful they were attentive and understanding.
Overall, this was a fantastic vacation. The condo is wonderful, would be better clean (!). All things considered, we would rent there again.
