Perfect

The view was perfection. My husband and I went for a long weekend to enjoy the beach. The view from the balcony was everything. Watchinf the sunrise every morning was amazing. The access to the beach was a breeze. Being able to just walk downstairs to the beach and then back up to the room was perfect for me since I'm 7 months pregnant at the moment. Definitely will be coming back when possible.

You'll get the beautiful view. That's about it. No dishwasher, moldy a/c, balcony is tight with some cheap plastic chairs. Could be a wonderful place but it's poorly set up.

Great View From Balcony...Thats it

Very run down.. No Kitchen lights, Dime switch in bedroom out. The front door needs 200lbs of pressure to open, The bath room vanity faucet squirts out the back of the faucet. The stool you have to ride because it wiggles when you set down. alarm clock doesn't work so bring one. It had been recently painted , the 5 gallon paint bucket was still in the closet. Parking is a bust eapecialy on weekends. (We were there for a week) Wont ever come back.

The location is PERFECT, the unit is LACKING

The main reason I selected this rental is because the location is PERFECT. the view of the beach is the idea. I sat on that balcony every day and listened to the ocean. SO perfect. The unit had some very nice things and some not-so-good things. The good- was fully stocked with clean towels and linens, the appliances worked well, the washing machine, stove, and microwave fridge were all clean and working, the water pressure was nice, and the well-lit building, The pool, and hot tub were very quiet and peaceful at night. The BAD= fixtures needed some major TLC, the cabinets and fixtures look like the original-super gross. The vents seem to have BLACK mold blowing out, which made my allergies go haywire. There was a rain storm and the ceiling leaked out, ruining my newspaper and barely missing my expensive laptop on the counter. Mainaince was called and all he did was take a picture and leave. No follow-up. I would not recommend this place to friends, and I would not stay again. I will spend a little extra for a nicer unit in the same area/beachside.

Bad and good

The condo had zero blankets, half the sheets existed and no traditional sofa bed. We called several times and texted but no one came with blankets, so we bought what we could at 9 p.m. The following day it took more calls. It was stated things were delivered . I assured they were not. Finally received 2 thin blankets and some sheets at 1 p.m. The sofa bed is more of a half futon and it’s broken. It was stated 4 adults could stay here. VERY DECEPTIVE! It can sleep2 adults and 2 kids under 12. The futon couch doesn’t stay up one side so my 26 y/o daughter had to sleep with couch closed. My other adult child slept in a blow up mattress from the closet. This is not what we paid for. We asked about alternative accommodations and no one called us back. We were there 5 nights. 2 blankets is a problem because you have 3 beds. Blow up mattress takes up the whole floor . The good part is Florence is a great location and building we’ve stayed at before . The pool is wonderful. Beach access is great and the building is located in a great spot . We will stay at the Florence again but not 707.

Some good, some bad

Pros: Gulf view from the balcony. Outstanding! Cons: very small; outdated and needs painting; A/C was unable to keep temperature at 75 at the end of the day, went up to 77 even though set at 75; television went off for no reason for about a minute then came back on 3 or 4 times each evening

The condo is on the corner so you have a spectacular view of the ocean and can see the bay by looking around the corner! Great communication with the host for any questions or concerns.

Until the toilet tissue issue

The parking process was not made clear prior to check in. Spent time driving around trying to find where to park. We were never given the beach access code. When I called, we were given the wrong code. I asked for an extra roll of toilet tissue on our last day. I was told that we would have to provide our own as per the contact?? Attendant put me on hold when I offered to pay for a roll if someone could provide. I was disconnected. Overall happy with our stay until the toilet tissue issue. Difficult to understand that we payed for a weeks stay but were limited to 2 rolls of toilet tissue per contract?

Property was awesome. Communication from management was difficult.

The property was amazing. Great view and great route directly to the beach. The pool and hot tub was clean and to our expectation. I did try and contact the property management to see if it would be possible to check in early since we arrived at the location a couple hours earlier than we planned with food that was perishable. I emailed the company several times and called with a horrendous wait time. However we had to park at the other location for a short time and swiftly got a call from the management that there was a complaint about us parking in the wrong parking area. The gentleman on the phone was extremely nice it was just aggravating that i tried to call and communicate with no luck but they had not problem contacting me about that matter very quickly.

Great location!

The 7th floor view is fabulous. The condo is dated. Cabinets, tile, kitchen, bathroom all old but useable. The “couch bed” is actually more like a futon. Definitely not for adults. Master bedroom is adequate. We had to ask for blankets for both beds but they came promptly. The pool/hot tub are both nice. Beach is literally out the back door with outdoor showers on the deck near pool. Given the price and location I would stay again. I just wish they would remodel soon.

Mixed feelings

The condo has a million dollar view! It was comfortable and had everything you need except coffee filters for the coffee pot. However, it could use some updating especially the kitchen. Again. It has an incredible view. We will definitely stay there again!!

Cheap stay

The unit is a corner unit so you have a great view. I read the reviews before we booked and I don’t know who these people were before me. But this unit needs to be upgraded all of the furniture is over 15 years old and worn out. The cabinets are very old and the varnish has come off where people have opened the cabinets over the years. But all of the furniture needs to be replaced. The bed springs squeaked every time you moved. There was not a mattress cover on the mattress so all you had was a cover sheet. I have stayed at SPI and with Vacassa many times and this was one of the units that needs some care. As I said at the start of this great view. But the price was very low. In the summer I bet it is a lot more for 4 nights. They need to take some of the money they are making and replace the items in the loving room and bedroom. If they did that it would be a good unit. Also no dish washer so if you really do not want to do dishes sorry had to wash them after every meal.

Yearly Visit

We have visited the same condo for over 5 years. Primarily because of the price. This year management has made improvements that were long overdue. This visit the condo was cleaner than ever before. We love the condo because it’s a corner view of the beach, it’s on the top floor, it has a washer and dryer, and it has all the amenities that we need. Thanks for making the stay more pleasant than ever.
