No microwave and deck door wouldn't lock.
Seriously, no microwave really limits the usefulness of the place, no heating up coffee or doggy bags from the restaurants, etc. First place I've ever stayed at that didn't have one. And fix the locks please.

The condo was clean and offered beach chairs, boogie boards and umbrella. The property was one of the closest walking distance to the beach and pier. Even though the decor was dated it wasn't important. It was perfect for our needs. Thank you!verclea dated.

Uncleaned room upon arrival, communication terrible
When we arrived Sunday afternoon, was able to pull up to management office and retrieve our keys and parking passes. Got to condo and loaded up cart, up to 2nd floor, in to condo. Had a heavy grease smell and I stepped into the kitchen to find a layer of grease on the stove. Walked into bedrooms and all the linens were piled on the floor. Cockroaches in the sink and around the stove. Called the after hours number I was given and got a quick callback. Cleaner arrived in 15 minutes. While the rest of the family went out to enjoy the pool and beach, I stayed at the condo since all of our belongings were in a pile. Was told by the gentleman that I talked to from the after hours call that management would contact me on Monday. I dindt hear anything from them, so I drove over and talked to them about my concerns. They said they would talk to owners about a discount (waive cleaning fee) and would contact me that afternoon. As of this writing I still haven't heard from them- however I did get a credit for the cleaning fee show up on my vrbo notifications. Not pleased with the management. Condo, pool, beach was great when the weather allowed. I dont think they spray for bugs every week like the paperwork states.

The condo is not in great shape, plastic on the ceiling in the bathroom. Dusty, dirty couches. Smells dirty, and moldy. Patio door does not lock. Master bed is awful to sleep on, outlets don’t work. Wish I could post pictures! I got sick from the mold and had to leave early. Great location, nice pool, and outside area.

Bugs and terrible maintenance
This location was awesome but the quality of the condo is below par. No beach chairs,Broken umbrellas , and the cleanliness and bug control was not up to par. We did not expect luxury for the price but the roaches were ridiculous and I got ate up in bed by something. The twin beds wore out so 3 inch cut out foam on top made extremely uncomfortable and shower tore up with a midship repair and leak not fixed. There are similar properties for a little more in much better condition. It kind of made me sad for my family. I can handle wear but just not kept well. Again, The location is perfect and has massive potential. I usually give the benefit of the doubt but after calling after hours maintenance about roaches I received no response. The management company apologized with sorry we are thinking of getting rid of these owners! Weird!

Great Condo with Perfect View
The property & location was perfect! Condominium was very clean, well kept & had all lots of things to do. The bathrooms near the pool were nice to have & were very clean each visit. The grounds were beautiful & organized. Rooftop patio was great for sunrise/ sunsets! The condo has a great view to the pool & ocean. Was stocked with umbrellas, beach toys, boogie boards & pool noodles. The kitchen had all utensils needed for making meals, just missing a toaster. We cooked & ate in most nights, the grills & picnic tables were nice to have. They even have a green egg at the grilling area if you want to smoke something. The condo it’s self is not updated, fancy or new, but every worked & was clean upon arrival. Nicer in person than the pictures show. The twin bathroom was undergoing repairs, but my kids didn’t mind the plastic covered ceiling. I was a little nervous because of the previous reviews, but we had an awesome trip & the condo worked perfectly for our vacation. Check in/ out was smooth. We would stay here again!

There are many things you need to address at your condo. You did tell me about the ceiling in the small bedroom. The musty smell is really bad. The toilet in the other bath keeps running if you don’t jiggle the handle. There are two lights out in the bigger bedroom. We could not open the dryer door, there are three pieces on top. You stated there would be one roll of toilet paper in each bath, there was less than half in each bath. We called the rental agency the day after we got there-I think her name was Ashley-there was no toaster-she said someone would bring us one-never happened.

The unit was filthy. Sheets were unwashed, counters and floors dirty. Hair. Strong musty odor. Poor housekeeping and upkeep. No reply from owner although management did answer all calls. Nice location and property but the lack of cleanliness ruined the experience.

Best Vacation, Location, & Weather
This unit is a bit dated, kitchen tiny and bathrooms too, BUT for the price, location and overall appeal it was PERFECT for our family. It was clean, not all the light switches worked, but there was so much natural light, you only needed lights at night. The pool was nice after being at the beach all day, we could dip or toss a ball. Loved how close we were to the pier. Our boys 13 & 10 took surf lessons and we rented chairs & umbrella from them. The unit did have some leftover chairs and a tiny umbrella, and some boogie boards. We even had an opportunity to see a rocket launch from the rooftop deck. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome Location!!
Everything is as stated on the website and we had a great week! The location near the Cocoa Beach Pier and VIEW is incredible. We have been staying in condos on this property for the last 10 years. We love it! It is so awesome at the rooftop is open now, and we saw a nighttime rocket launch!! Perfect place to watch it! So, for these reasons and the cleanliness, we would still give it 5 stars overall. Left a message for property rental management and never heard back, though. The bedroom with the king bed’s bedroom set gave off a very musty scent so we could not put our clothes in there and I would recommend replacing it. I know it’s the beach in FL and this can happen. Also, would recommend have the toilet looked at since we had to hold the handle when flushing to be sure it did not run incessantly. In addition, PLEASE invest in some better waterproof mattress pads!! For a nice place such as this, no one should be sleeping on such a rustic plastic covering for a mattress pad- they are awful, noisy, and hot! Please replace a few things for future guests. We know the rate was less than other units in the building, and for that we are grateful. We would happily stay again if the bedroom set and mattress pads were replaced. It would also be great if you changed the door to a code lock mechanism so there would be no need to swing by the rental property/realtor office and deal with the keys. Thank you for offering a chance for giving feedback.

Great location- everything was as it should be- musty- mildew smell in master BR- Upon arrival; unit had not been cleaned- we got in around 2pm- wasn’t supposed to be ready til 3p- maybe why— linens on the floor - beds stripped- other than this- it was a nice little place- probably would not stay again because of the moldy smell in bedrooms.
