Best front facing balcony

Best front facing balcony with sunrise and sunset views!! Lots of balcony furniture too! The living room seating was really pretty, but not comfortable. Probably could use replacing. I think we noticed because we were there a month, otherwise short stays probably wouldn’t pay attention. Parking easy and fabulous easy beach access!! Overall a great stay!

Perfect location

Although older, the location was wonderful. The condo itself needs a bit of refurbishment, but nothing that would be off-putting - it is a rental after all. The only real issues were with the elevators. With everyone checking in at the same time, it was crazy trying to get up to the room. Also, this is the first beachfront condo that I have been in that did not even have salt and pepper. Thankfully, I usually travel with my own herbs and spices.

Dusty and crusty

I will preface this by saying that we stayed at another condo in this same complex last April and it was lovely. That being said, this condo had carpet in the bedrooms, which was an oversight on my part. But, the carpet was filthy and it actually felt crusty and matted to walk on. On top of that, outside of the normal services a cleaning service would clean upon leaving (bathrooms & kitchen) it was super dusty. One of the beds in the spare room barely had the headboard attached and when I went to attempt to open the “blinds” in the room it about fell off because it was being held up by a single hook and therefore not able to be raised. We won’t being staying at Crystal shores west peak season, again. The elevator only worked 1/2 the time. Some ppl waited 20-30 minutes to get down with their stuff. They attempted a repair while we were there, but it was still extremely slow. For what it cost the rent this two bedroom condo, I expected the same level of condo from the previous year, which was not the case.

Beachfront condo

My family loved staying at this beachfront condo! The view was amazing, easy access to stores and restaurants, and a kitchen in the condo for when we wanted to cook instead of going out. There was plenty of room for all of us. The best part -- as soon as you step outside, you're on the beach! We watched sunsets and sunrises, saw dolphins, and swam every day.

The main bathroom had mold, both showers were smaller. Great water pressure though. Found dirty dishes in the cabinets when i was looking for pans to cook with. Mattresses were very springy. Sheets felt cheap. But the fact that its on the beach made up for all of that, the beach itself was very clean and fun. It was good for the price.

Clean, great views, unit needs a couple improvements

As a family, we enjoyed our stay on this property. The views were great, the entire place was very clean. Beach access was quick and easy. If possible to choose a room, pick a lower floor. There are only two elevators and we waited up to 15 minutes or so a couple times. We opted to take the stairs when we could. It looked just as advertised on the website. The two improvements needed to the unit itself are: 1. Better mattresses. They felt like plastic mattresses that you would find in a small cabin at a summer camp. They were uncomfortable. 2. The water pressure was so high that is would sting when taking a shower. Perhaps this could have been adjusted, but we didn't check. The only other issue was we got a unit close to another unit with a chain smoker (hoping just bad luck). At least once an hour we would have a very strong cigar smell out on our balcony. This may not bother some people, but my wife, with mild asthma couldn't enjoy the great balcony view as much as she wanted.

never again

it was the worse stay that we have had down there! Not enough Towles, toilet paper, no pans to cook with, there was sand all over the floor, vacum did not work, drove 12 hours to get there and would not let us in an hour early, had to smell cigar smoke and weed from the room next to us, the teenage boys played music so loud that we could not hear the tv. This is our tenth time coming down there and this is the WORSE time we have ever had. I have your condos put on a list to never rent again. You would think that what you charged, you would have better equipped the room!

Needs cleaning and updating. UNIT IS DIRTY!!

My family and I have stayed at several units in this building and this has to be the worst. The carpet is gross with stains. The couch has stains and feels like 200 people have sat on it. The recliner is on its last leg and sticks when you try and put the leg down. The master bedroom bed is flat and has no cushion whatsoever, my back hurt the whole time. The washer and dryer are "rigged" to work. The chairs for the beach that are provided were rusty. Some of the dishes that were in the cabinets were dirty. This is the first time using this particular company (beachball properties) for the condo and I have to say if this is any indication of their business practices, USE A DIFFERENT COMPANY!! Use a private individual or Suncoast properties, they have better units.

I booked this for a girls trip with my best friends and it was exactly what we needed and expected. We had a mishap with our door not opening, but the maintenance man came to our rescue very quickly. The only other thing was that we needed rags and towels for the kitchen. Other than that, it was perfect. We even discussed booking the same unit next year!

Great view. The Unit was very used.

The view was fantastic. The beach access was great. The unit was functional. The kitchen was fine. The beds were not comfortable. The furniture was dirty and stained. The pillows were so bad we bought our own at Walmart. I don’t think the carpets had ever been cleaned. I could feel the tack strip on my bare feet at the bedroom entrance. Very disappointing. But we didn’t let a well-worn condo ruin our vacation. That being said, in 2019 we stayed in Crystal Shores and that Condo was fantastic. Just depends on the owner.

Great location, limited value

The location of this condo was terrific. It overlooked the beach and was close to many stores and restaurants. However, the condo needs some TLC badly. The furniture is old, worn out, and stained. A towel rack was left unrepaired and fell off the wall. The closet doors in the master bedroom fell off the rack. There were no more than 3 matching cups, plates, etc. and really should match the number of occupants who could potentially stay there, which in this case was 6. There were items left in the kitchen drawers from the previous renters. If the property was truly only the amount charged per night, I could see past some of these issues; however, with the additional fees added through the site and for the property manager, it almost doubled the cost per night making this not worth what I paid.

Enjoyable

Location was nice, beach access easy. Master bed is awful. There is no mattress pad on it and the mattress has little “mattress pills” all over it so you can feel it through the sheets. The mattress itself is old and lopsided and full of springs. The carpet is old and hard in the bedrooms. Now, let’s get to the master bath shower… the water pressure is something like a pressure washer or imagine water coming out of a jet propeller in your face. The shower head has no adjustment, so it is what it is. The pressure and tiny holes for the water to come out of in this shower head is so powerful it creates a wind tunnel of some sort in the shower causing the shower curtain to blow all over and stick to you. You can hang up trying to put shampoo or soap on the ledge provided for it… the shower/wind will shoot it out the tub! When you get yourself together from the painful, windy, pressure washing there’s the issue of the towels. There are only 6 bath towels provided. They are thin, old and only slightly larger than the hand towels. But they get the job done, but with so few towels in a condo that sleeps 6, towel rations are necessary. If you like a hair towel and a body towel it’s not going to happen. Then there’s the toilet, slow flushing. We figured out if you hold the handle down for 20 seconds you can get a decent flush for #1….. we won’t even talk About the other. Overall the property was decent, but the condo could use some updating for comfort…. And for the love of God get adjustable shower heads!!
