Just okay

Our condo itself, we had no real issues with. The elevators and the wait for one at this resort is AWFUL!!! We will not stay here again based on elevators. Some staff is friendly, others are rude/condescending. We did like all the ammenity options. Didn't try out everything, but it was nice to have a range of choices. There is beach service directly in front of the resort but beware, you cannot put up your own canopy, umbrella, or chairs behind the rows of beach service chairs. You have to walk all the way to the end of the beach service chairs to set up your own. Resort was relatively clean. We and a bunch of other people got caught in a big summer FL storm and there were resort employees mopping up water where everyone was dripping trying to get out of the rain. Made the wait for an elevator worse than normal though. We had to climb 13 flights of stairs with children and all our stuff unless we wanted to wait thirty plus minutes for an elevator ride. Parking deck seemed slightly cramped going around turns. It also said no golf carts allowed in parking decks, and we noticed several. So obviously not all rules are enforced. And the cannabis smell. Obviously the no smoking rule is ignored too. Overall, we had a fun week. But I don't see us running to stay here again

There are not enough elevators for the amount of guests that stay there. The wait for the elevator is anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour (not over exaggerating). At one point I was tired of waiting and walked up 17 flights of stairs (42 year old woman). We were going to a baseball tournament that week and had to add an extra 30 - 45 minutes to our time to leave earlier than we needed to because we didn’t want my nephew to be late. Also, only having one functioning elevator for the garage is absurd. A common theme we heard from other guests is that they would never be back because a lot of their time was wasted in waiting for elevators. One night the fire alarm went off on the second floor and we were on the 17th. My mom called and asked if the fire alarm was going off up there. I told her we didn’t hear anything. Also, if there was a fire all 30 floors would not be able to evacuate quick enough.

Our family of 6 enjoyed the proximity to the beach and entertainment (Pier Park is a 15-minute walk). The fee for 5 nights was moderate; however, there are things I wish I would’ve known before booking: 1. Lack of adequate number of elevators- problematic from arrival and unloading, grocery delivery, midday trips to the room, and evenings out. The elevators were ALWAYS full; 2. Walkability- no consistent sidewalks in the area- definitely did not want to get car out of parking garage to go 1/2 mile; 3. Lack of on-site/ close dining; 4. I almost missed the additional property fee- nominal- and registration process that was buried in the booking (downloaded Vacasa and within the app and information there was a link with additional form to complete with payment required); 5. Check in is 4-6 pm (yes, a 2-hour window with the elevator issue really was interesting) and checkout is 10am with no early check in/ luggage drop/ changing room to go to the beach option. While these times are standard, it still felt like we “lost” out on 6 hours of vacation time. Would we book here again? Maybe. The price was affordable and the general location desirable, but we’d definitely see about booking a lower floor or adjust expectations on the time we would spend waiting.

The view was beautiful, the condo itself was nice. The restaurant and the staff there were good! But the staff at the desk are rude and not helpful. There was a fire alarm and no staff knew what was going on or the proper procedures to evacuate the building. There are only 3 working elevators for the whole 30 floor building, which is not sufficient for the amount of people vacationing! The wait for an elevator could be 15-30 minutes.

This was our first and will be our last time staying here! We had to wait forever each time we got on an elevator to go to the beach, get stuff out of the car or go anywhere! My husband waited about an hour one time, JUST to get on an elevator!! This takes up way too much of your vacation time!!

Outdated, not as clean

The room was sufficient enough for our family of 7 with 3 little ones with a spectacular view. However, it was outdated, drawers were broken, the internet was extremely slow, poor cellular connection, batteries were removed on smoke detector (hazard), the bathrooms smelled of mildew despite calling housekeeping, and the place wasn’t as clean as I wanted.

The only problem we really had was the elevator situation. People would get on and ride all the way up to our floor (25) or higher, just to go down. So when we tried to get on, it was full. There were a couple of them out of commission, so I’m sure that didn’t help.
