After we checked in we were given our address & parking pass. There was misinformation on which parking space we were given. It took a few phone calls to figure that out. Somewhat frustrating. The condo was very nice with a great view.
Great location, views, check in process and amenities!

It was a pleasure to host you Lisa! Thanks for your feedback on this awesome Ocean Front Sea Coast Gardens Unit! We look forward to seeing you back in NSB soon ! :)
Beach re-construction going on directly in front of our building for 5 of the 8 days we were the. We had NO access to the resort’s beach for the first 3 days. The construction work was deafening at times, and literally caused our unit to vibrate. It continued through the night for all but the last night) and disrupted our sleep for all but 3 nights. I can’t believe that we paid for this. While this is no fault of owner or resort, we should have been notified and pricing consideration made for the inconvenience.*The pools/patio and beach (once opened), were lovely.*Rules were stringent (eg, pool closes at dusk, no food in pool area)*Facilities were clean and well-maintained, good amenities (eg, laundry rooms available)*Management company was notified three times about the construction situation. I was told twice that someone (owner?) would get back, but no one ever did.Our unit was nice. We’ve had nicer, but not right on the beach with such a fabulous view (and without the noise).*Supplies were inadequate: only 1 extra roll of toilet paper, the only trash bag were the ones in the trash cans.*Bedding/linens: standard pillowcases on king pillows, and the fitted sheets were directly on the mattress (no protective mattress pads). One of the mattresses was badly stained and soiled.*Plus side was no lotion/shampoo supplies, etc. other than a bar of soap, provided. It’s a waste of resources as we bring our own.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly regret that your stay was impacted by the beach re construction project and the disruption it caused. While this work was outside of our control, we completely understand how frustrating the noise, limited access, and lack of prior notice must have been. Your comments regarding communication are especially important, and we sincerely apologize that your concerns were not followed up on as promised.
We are glad to hear you still enjoyed the location, views, and the cleanliness and upkeep of the property amenities. At the same time, we appreciate you bringing the concerns about supplies, linens, and mattress condition to our attention. These are not the standards we aim to provide, and we are addressing them directly with our team to ensure improvements are made.
Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us improve both our communication and overall guest experience. We hope you might consider staying with us again in the future under better circumstances.
The view was really great. The elevator was broke three times and the pool was shut down a couple times, but that happens in older hotels.

Great Location, Condo is Just OK
The condo offers a stunning view, and the property grounds are well-suited for families. Being just steps away from the beach, the location is undeniably ideal.However, the condo itself could use some improvement. Although it’s advertised as "NEW," there’s nothing new about it. As someone with mold allergies, I immediately noticed an issue upon entering. The master bedroom showed visible signs of mold on the ceiling and under the windows, and even the decor in the master bathroom had surface mold growing on it.I’m not the type to expect brand-new furnishings, but the beds and linens were of poor quality. The towels were worn and some even had stains, making the stay far from comfortable or welcoming.Another drawback was the lack of beach items for families. The original listing featured beach chairs and an umbrella, with accompanying photos, but these items were nowhere to be found upon arrival. After calling the property management, they initially promised to deliver the missing items but failed to follow through—despite repeated calls. Later, I noticed they had edited the listing on VRBO, removing the photos and description of what the condo was supposed to provide. It was incredibly disappointing.
