Great condo, elavator not so much!

Condo was great, well stocked, plenty of room, clean,location good ,very close( within walking distance) of restaurants, stores, we really loved staying here first time, my only complaint was the elavator got stuck between floors several times a day, the day we checked out it was down completely, we had to carry all our bags and luggage down 5 flights of stairs in 86 degree weather which was rough on me and my husband, my advice, get elavator fixed!

Maintaining Management's Stupid Decisions

We chose the quite little condo to be away from the larger hotels with crowds. Woke up Sunday morning and the coffee pot didn’t work. I called management and they said someone would be out to replaced it. They did, Monday around 11 am. We started our vacation off good other than the coffee. I had my kids and they each brought a friend. After the 2nd day it was a lot to bring everything up and down everyday. It was a small and what seemed very homely property. Wednesday afternoon we came back from the beach we thought it would be safe to put our stuff in the garage areas where all the owner have outside storage container. We left our stuff there and did the same thing on Thursday also. Friday morning we go to get our stuff and it is ALL completely gone. We are taking about EVERYTHING.3-beach chairs (2) Dicks sporting good foldout rockers)2-skim boards 1-Brand new beach dart set1-Brand new volleyball2-Brand new Noodles 4-Boggie boards 1-Brand New large portable badminton set1-Brand new Beach Paddle Board setAfter walking around freaking out I found a person that worked there and was told that the maintenance man that’s has been coming every single morning had put ALL that stuff beside a “lost and found” box that had mostly toddler beach toys in it because he thought the owners just up and left ALL THAT STUFF. He said that supposedly the tenants had taken all my stuff in 2 hrs from the “lost and found” The HOA said NOT 1 of the cameras showed anyone taking anything.

Relaxation.

This vacation was planned in the very last minute, we were supposed to go to Florida. But Hurricane Ian change that very quick. I needed somewhere to go with the family very quick. Multiple people suggested golf Shores. And boy was I happy they suggested golf Shores. Our condo was absolutely amazing. Right in the heart of golf Shores, restaurants, stores, everything was within walking distance. The beach was absolutely mesmerizing. We sat out on our balcony every morning with our coffee, watching the sunrise and the dolphins swimming. And at night sat on the balcony with our cocktail watching the sunset. The kitchen is very very well stocked with everything you’ll need. Bedroom is very spacious. The only negative thing I can possibly say is, a new paint job would be nice. But I have no complaints at all. We will definitely be coming back!

Mildew everywhere

There was mildew everywhere to include the walls, ceiling, lamp shades, closet doors. My spouse and I were sick with allergies the entire time which magically cleared up after our departure. Would not recommend spending this type of money on such a crappy unit.

Enjoyed our stay

The location is great! This building and the surrounding ones are not huge. Our section of the beach was very pleasant and not crowded. It was easy to walk to the Hangout and Sea n Suds. Just know that this an older building with a small pool and only one hose for rinsing off sand. Having a shaded section of pool and tables under cover is nice. There are steps to get to the beach so it makes using a cart difficult. The elevator was replaced in the fall, so no problems with that! Our unit was large with plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 teens. Lots of closet space with hangers. I loved the balcony with access from the living room and the master bedroom. The mattress in the master needs to be replaced. There was a big uncomfortable dent on my side. The dishwasher is old, so dishes need rinsing off first. The kitchen was well stocked! Couches were nice and comfortable. Dining table was quite scratched up. The parking lot spaces are very tight. It's manageable IF other people park correctly.

Great location

Great location beautiful views. Awesome pool area with shaded parts when the sun is too much but you don't want to go inside. The code wasn't sent when we arrived yet but a quick call and it was quickly remedied. Excellent communication and really nice lady who manages the building. You will have a great trip :)

Large and spacious for 5 people. Master bedroom was large. Mattress could have used an upgrade

I enjoyed staying at the castaways. It was really nice. The unit was very spacious and clean. The only complaints I had were the people above us the last two days we were there was really loud. They banged around until probably 2 a.m. Then the elevator smelled like someone peed in it the last 3 days of our stay. Child or adult? Who knows? If you have a large vehicle the parking spaces are tight. Other than that as I said before it was enjoyable.

Nice

Kitchen fully stocked. Nice size rooms. Smooth layout. l love the closeness to the beach! Balcony was well furnished but would have loved for it to be a tad bigger. Beach population was pleasant, not over crowded but enough to socialize if desired.
