Overall we had a great vacation! Here are the pros and cons of the condo:
Pros-Great location! In the pics the boardwalk looks really long and like it would take awhile to get to the beach, but it was way shorter in person. We could get to the beach within minutes. They supplied chairs and a canopy to use on the beach which was awesome. It's first come first serve so get there early. They start at 9am til 5pm. Also they usually only do that until Labor Day, but extended the service til the end of September. The condo was updated and really nice. Had tons of cooking supplies for us to use. Quiet. We never really heard anyone else around us. Loved that the tv's had Netflix for my 2 year old and had lots of cable channels including The Longhorn Network! The pool was heated which was nice because one morning it was really windy on the beach which made it really cold so we hit the pool first while the day warmed up. The hot tub was awesome too!
Cons-The living area of the condo was smaller in person. Still enough space for us, but looked larger in pictures. The community areas could use some updating. The boardwalk itself needed repairs in some areas. The pool area was also outdated. The kids playground near the pool was really dirty so we couldn't use it. As a previous reviewer stated the A/C is only allowed to go down to 72 which is still hot. Luckily since we read that we brought fans and were fine. Also agree with the lights out in the hallway. So bright. I brought my own sleep mask and actually found that they provide you some in the nightstand, but didn't find these til the end of the trip. You honestly wake up in the night and aren't sure if it's 10pm, 4am, or 8am because it all looks the same. The power went out twice. First time it was only for like 10 minutes so no big deal, but the second time it was from 1am to 7:30am so it was miserable because we couldn't sleep because it was so hot. Apparently they have a backup generator, but only for the elevators. The mosquitos are really bad there which not sure if that is something they can help. Bring lots of bug spray! Also found some ants in the shower.
I would definitely stay here again!
