I’ll start by saying I will stay here at this unit again. Everything upon arrival was ready, clean, fresh and beautiful.
I will list concerns at the end.
Communicating with owners/staff prior to coming was awesome with quick responses and answers to questions. Perfect view from the time we walked inside. Full frontal view of what was the most beautiful colors I’ve ever seen the Gulf. Perfect weather entire weeks stay. Low humidity good breeze low to mid 80’s.
Plenty of pots and pans to cook if you want. Bed was very comfortable. Washer and dryer was a HUGE plus. Being on the 10th floor I was concerned with as the hike to beach, not a problem at all. Unit close to elevator and 2 minutes to walk across the street from elevator.
Concerns: 1. The balcony door frame bottom has a higher than normal framing as to not let water in during big storms. Problem is with it not being visible marked it’s easy to trip over as your walking in or out. God forbid walking out and trip over balcony.
2. Bedroom window (looks out onto walkway not Gulf) I had to put up a very dark beach towel to block the “daylight” bright security lite outside. Very annoying hard to get to sleep without blocking window, wood blinds doesn’t get it.
3. Sofa bed not comfortable to sleep on but it’s a sofa bed.
4. We took advantage of the pool bands and the outside pool was very nice, hot tub/spa very hot which was nice. On the other hand the inside pool (trying to get away from outside kids playing) was extremely filthy. As soon as you walked in the shallow end you could see the material bugs floating pieces of whatever. We immediately went back to outside. Not sure why a beautiful facility would not monitor this more closely.
5. The balcony, if your expecting it to be quite while sipping adult beverages while breathing in the Gulf view, don’t. I really thought being 10 floors up would have been a plus in this regard., traffic noise really bad. Inside the condo it’s as quite as a mouse. But we adapted and enjoyed the view just the same. None of these concerns would stop me from reserving again but I do hope the owner takes note and can correct the bedroom window issue and the weather plating on the sliding glass door.
6. I’m all about free enterprise but I must say the Umbrella vendor and Majestic Sun must have a sweet deal. Almost the entire beachfront is rental space for vendor. Not good. Very limited shoreline space left in front of MS.
P.S. parking garage was a plus.
