We had a very enjoyable stay for the week. Was unaware that there would be no washer and dryer though. The condo other than that is well organized and very clean.

The property was beautiful. However, I was a little disappointed that parking was limited due to heavy machinery blocking parking slots. I definitely would have appreciated having a washer & dryer being that a connection was available for such an appliance. Our accommodations were very clean. I would stay there again despite the minor issues I noted.

Wonderful

Everything was great, clean, stocked with extras example dish detergent, soap, shampoo, coffee, flavoring for water, dishes ect. The only complaint was there was only four wash clothes. We stayed five nights. The laundry mat on the first floor was always in use. We ended up purchasing wash cloths from Walmart.

One little complaint

Overall, i really enjoyed my stay. Unit was clean, great view, great amenities, EXCELLENT water pressure, and great location. Only real complaint is there was no communication on the parking pass and wrist band. I knew it was included in the price but there was no instruction on where to obtain them. Security made me pay for them, saying they hadn't been paid for. I later found an envelope in the kitchen behind some towels with the parking pass and wrist bands in it. Security refunded my money, thankfully. I would suggest in the future, explaining to guests where to find these items. Other than that, I'd gladly stay here again.

Summer Break

Travel with my wife and 5 yrs old son. We went to PCB and stayed at Dolphin Watch Sunbird condo for 4 nights. The condo was perfect for our family of 3. The descriptions and photos on the website was accurate. Best part is the view of the beach. Beach and parking lot was right next to the building for easy access. One minor issue the shower head pressure is too high and can't adjust. Other than that Dolphin Watch condo made our short summer break perfect. Thanks!

Construction

Told there was construction. Was not told it was the condo next to us. Woken every morning at 0730 by power tools, banging, and yelling workers. Everything was dirty with debris. Areas blocked off, so we had to walk around. Dirty water on floors. Balcony had so much white debris on it and flying around we could not use it. Very frustrated to have this experience when I rarely get vacation

Nice condo , gorgeous beach.

We really did love our place. I only wish they would have mentioned all the construction on the building. It was loud and workers putting up scaffolding everywhere. I understand these things need to be done, however, we were not told about it. We just tried to stay away during the day.
