Pretty good with some minor complaints

Overall the place is good! I loved having access to the porch from the master bedroom. The master bed was comfy enough. The view is absolutely perfect! Having a washer and dryer inside the condo is very convenient. There are multiple options for making coffee (kuerig and coffee pot). The walk to the beach is very quick, which was one of the things I wanted! We were grateful for the covered parking as we unloaded our car during a storm!! I don’t have many complaints about the actual condo. We would’ve liked to have a little dish soap and scrubby. I wish there had been rugs. There was not one anywhere. It felt like we were walking on sandy tile all weekend. Yes, there was a little sand leftover from previous tenants. We were not provided conditioner in both bathrooms, but I suspect that was a mistake that would have been fixed if I had cared enough to communicate it. As far as the building itself, I did not like walking through the parking deck to get from the pool to the beach access gate, having re-enter the code each time, putting on and taking off shoes each time as well. The pool was a nice size for the amount of guests that were there in September. During summer months, I imagine it would not be large enough. I was sad there wasn’t any umbrellas out there, for shade. These things were minor and we definitely enjoyed our stay, but it gave me some things to consider next time I’m searching for a beach condo:)

Summer vacation

Loved the location and size of the condo. There were a few negatives though. Was not very clean, sand all over the floor and dirty towels hanging on back of bathroom door. Also had a terrible smell that caused us to purchase air fresheners to stand it. There were no sheets on the 2nd bedroom bed, the WiFi is not good at all.

Great location with a fantastic view!

Loved this condo! Second time staying in this building and we had a great time. Matched the description and photos exactly. We had an issue of disposal getting stuck and they immediately sent someone to fix it. (Completely our fault for letting a water bottle top get stuck.) There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Wish we could stay longer

Very much enjoyed our stay. The rates were affordable in early May. But they go WAY up as summer approaches, wasn't sure if it would be worth it so we booked for earlier. Nice property. The indoor pool was pretty small, but heated which was good. If you plan to stay here, make sure to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels as the owners only provide one roll each. I would definitely stay here again.

Beachy at Crystal Shores West

Location was great! The farther down the beach the more crowded it was. There was good beach space for families staying at CSW. We had a few issues with the cleanliness of the condo. I know it’s a quick turn around for the cleaning staff but there were a few things that had been over looked. The rental company said they would address our concerns. The condo has a fun, beachy vibe! You can tell that they’ve done some updates to the condo. The kitchen is decently stocked for those who eat in. It also had a Keurig- wish I’d known before I bought and brought coffee. There are a few more updates needed. Balcony chairs need to be replaced. The table on the balcony was a good size for our family of four. We love to eat with the ocean in view. The master bedroom is in need of a mattress upgrade but the room itself is roomy enough for a stay at the beach. There was a dresser and two night stands with plenty of storage space. The extra bedroom was great for our kids. They loved the bunk bed!

Great View with a large balcony

We were a little bummed when we first entered the condo because the first thig we saw was the laundry room door with holes in them that had not been repaired. It seems like the maintenance crew they have must not be very handy and we also noticed that the corner of one of the cabinets had been glued back. There was a vent above the bathroom door and it was so nasty. Not sure if it was just dirty or if it was black mold growing from it. We also had to wear socks the entire time we were there because your feet turned black if you walked on the floor without them. Other than those few things we enjoyed the stay. I would also throw in for what people pay to stay you would expect nicer mattresses on the beds in the 2nd bedroom and in the couch/bed. Overall, it wasnt a bad stay and I would consider renting again. I just feel more attention should be paid to the things I mentioned.

Great location!

The property has great beach access, is really close to several shops and restaurants and is exactly as pictured on the VRBO listing. The elevators were a little slow (not entirely unexpected on a packed holiday weekend), but both elevators were working during our stay and we had no issues with the property that had been mentioned in previous reviews. The spaces in the parking garage are tight and the lighting wasn't great at night but that's really the only negative about the property. Would definitely book again!
