Beautiful Condo

We had a lovely stay. The condo exceeded our expectations with amazing balcony views and great amenities. As 3 adult couples we really enjoyed all having king size beds and our own full baths. The balcony was separate from other condos and was very large and inviting. The living space was large and had many options for seating. Our group enjoys cooking and we were thrilled with the well stocked kitchen! Having a good supply of extra bath towels was also a welcome surprise! It was directly across from the ocean with a great section of private beach, We would definitely stay at this location again.

Fantastic Stay

We were very happy with this condo. Loved all the natural light and the layout worked well for us as we had a little privacy from others that came to visit. We appreciated the location as we were able to walk to quite a few stores and restaurants. The view of the Gulf was fantastic and it was fun to people watch from the balcony. The one thing we would have enjoyed is a dining table/chairs on the balcony. There were ample kitchen supplies and dinnerware in the condo. The beds were quite comfortable. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Beautiful Condo Beach View

The condo was decorated beautifully. The view was amazing and we enjoyed seeing the other pets in the building when we took ours outside. The only thing that we would change is the size of the TV in the room near the kitchen, its a bit to small for older eyes. Otherwise, we would definitely recommend and stay again.

We stayed there with our grown children and grandchild! The condo had minimal decor and was a breath of fresh air. The open floor plan for the kitchen dining and living room was great! We had everything available that we needed and the location was amazing! The balcony had a great view and was huge! Just a walk across the street to a private beach. Checkin was available on time and with ease. Definitely will stay there again! Couldn’t have enjoyed it more!

Post visit

This is a good residence that served us well but was dirty upon arrival which we took care. The two sliding doors need replaced as the one in the bedroom leaks and the other is difficult to open and the doors need adjusted as they have sagged with the settling of the building

Great location

The property was in a good location to the beach. The pool was convenient Had to drive everywhere else. The. Condo was clean with some minor issues, coffee pot cracked, crockpot not workable. The washer and dryer not suitable for 8 people doing laundry. Dryer took 2 cycles to dry clothes. We had to clean vents to get that. Our A/C stopped working one night and the condo was 85 inside. Since the balcony was sealed close for repairs it was alwful, My text was received the next morning and the management company responded immediately with swamp coolers and various types of fans were brought to the condo. They secured a company that fixed the A/C the following day. With there outstanding response I gave them 5 stars.

Family friendly condo

Our condo was very nice and open which was great to visit with family. Our 15 month old twin grandson's loved walking around everywhere and spent a lot of time on the huge balcony with grandpa. We weren't crazy about the tile floors which made our feet dirty the first night so hope one of the upgrades will be vinyl planking throughout the condo. Tile is hard to clean up the sand even after I vacuumed several times. We were very close to our favorite restaurants, Pompano Joe's and Kenny D's so that was nice. We had a great time and will return to this condo again!

Amazing Property

I initially had reservations to stay at Ormond Beach Florida but only 5 days before our arrival, the owner of the property contacted me and informed me they were cancelling my reservation. I was devastated as this was our first beach trip to Florida with my 3 sons, their wives, and our new granddaughter and 5 days don't give you much time to find something else. I came across this listing and was skeptical at first because it was newly purchased, had no reviews and was undergoing renovations but I took a chance on it and boy am I ever glad I did!!! This condo not only met but greatly exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Plenty of space, beautifully decorated, large balcony, almost no wait at the elevator and LOTS of towels, washcloths and etc. I simply can't say enough positive things about the condo, the owners and the location. As the old saying goes, "Things happen for a reason" and once I arrived at this condo and saw how beautiful it is and once I saw how much more beautiful the beaches are on the Gulf side, my frustrations over the first reservation quickly disappeared. Thank you for welcoming our family and making sure everything was perfect for us. It's my intention to return year after year after year!!!
