Wonderful location and great beach access but…

The evening we checked in the condo’s door lock jammed and sometimes if we didn’t make sure it latched it could be opened from the outside without a code! The place was DIRTY. I’m talking what looked like boogers stuck on the wall. It’s also very dated and not at all the way it is displayed in the photos that I saw on VRBO. Those pics look like they were take when the place was new. The master bathroom’s toilet took a few times to flush completely. There were bugs in the bathroom. The pans have definitely seen better days. Everything I tried to cook in them stuck to them. I was tired and exhausted from the long drive to get there and I wasn’t expecting to go into a dirty poorly cared for condo that we paid good money to enjoy during our vacation. The place needs a good renovation but at the very least a DEEP CLEANING. Please stop using those very misleading pictures. Take some new ones and show what the property actually looks like.

Needs Improvement

The guest bathroom water was ice cold. I messaged the property manager that got back with me very quickly, but they could not fix it until the day we left… so that bathroom was basically a 1/2 bath. We have a 12,14,&16 year old that were with us so all 5 of us had to take turns taking showers in the master bathroom. The lock on the front door is very loose. According to my husband, someone could easily break in. When we first got there, there were several black hairs literally stuck to the wall in the master bath and I had to take clorox wipes that I brought to clean the wall. Also, the towels had long hairs all over them. That was pure nasty when you get out of the shower and see that. Also, cosmetic things like the toilet paper stand is very rusted and needs updating which is a cheap fix. We would have picked some where else to stay for our family of 5 had I of known these things in advance… especially the bathroom the kids would use not having hot water. We were there 3 nights and no one could fix it until the day we were leaving. Disappointing.

Condo nice, communication lacking

Nice condo, great view. However, owner did not communicate the code for the door entry. We were locked out (3 hours 2am-5am) until someone from VRBO texted the info. Had the owner texted it the day of check in, all would have been well. Bad way to start a vacation.

Pleasant vacation experience

The condo was clean and had everything we needed, and plenty of towels which usually are never enough. The view from the balcony was amazing and it was nice to be able to go to the beach, leave our things to eat in the room, and then head back down again. My only suggestion is that hooks be put up on the balcony to hang up beach towels to dry. I think there used to be something on the balcony but it was taken down and not replaced.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed this property! Very nice decor and wonderful view of the ocean. Location was excellent, minutes to everything. I love the Holiday Isle area. If your looking for a family friendly, quiet resort this is it. I also enjoyed the beach area, not too crowded and only had 1-2 rows of chairs. My only complaints would be the main bedroom mattress was really firm/ hard. Could use a plush mattress topper to create more softness. The light switches took sometime to figure out. Wish the resort offered more amenities. The sauna room was closed as well. Overall great place to stay, would book again!

We had a great stay. There were a few repairs that needed addressing and they were taken care of immediately We were on the top floor and had a beautiful view. The beach was lovely and the time of year was perfect as it was not crowded. We had great weather almost every day. There need to be beach chairs and beach towels available since the complex doesn't provide them after Nov 1 We would definitely return to this condo .

Great family resort on the beach!

Pros: resort was very well kept. Easy walk out to the beach. Nice, clean pool. Beautiful view from our balcony. Holiday Isle is a more “residential” area.. Its not on the main drag right across from the busy tourist spots. Very nice furniture/decor, plenty of bedding,towels, and cooking essentials. Cons: No on-site or on the beach food service. Beach service does not come with this unit, costing us an extra $200 for 5 days. The view from the bedroom is through a small window. The kitchen and bathrooms are very dated, including the appliances.

Would stay again!

Overall, it was a beautiful place and great location. The floors were noticeably dirty (black feet) and some basic necessities (coffee filters, salt pepper, etc.) were missing but not the end of the world. I guess for me, I thought they would be provided. Only major disappointment was that I specifically asked if this condo had beach gear provided and was told no, however there was an entire closet full of umbrellas and chairs. That would have saved us money and space when travelling. I also was told conflicting information when inquiring about an early check in. Again, our trip was still wonderful and the condo was as described, just the communication with RealJoy was more troubling than anything.
