Unobstructed view of the ocean. Well equipped kitchen and baths. Unfortunately for us there were gale force winds for part of the trip so we were limited to our outdoor ac, but the condo is well stocked for beach as well.

Nice, clean and quiet with a beautiful view

This property was perfect for our family of 4. The condo had everything we needed washer and dryer, pots, pans, towels etc. The balcony area has a great view of the ocen and opened up to the back of the property with walking access to the pool and beach. The complex it's self is a very quiet community and mostly adults. The grills are very nice gas grills. We absolutely love DBS and the surrounding areas. We would most likely book here again.

Swept away by the beautiful ocean view!

The building is nice and the condo has a great convenient tucked away location on the first floor. Inside was clean. The beds were Not very comfortable and neither were the pillows. I would say bring a good pillow and you are set. We have 2 kids 6 and 2 and it was a perfect size getaway for us. I give this condo 5 stars because the location and view are amazing! The condo also provided pool and ocean necessities. Floaties for the pool and chairs for the beach.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 May 2020
Yes beds and pillows can be very subjective because some like soft and some like more firm. I'll look into the pillow issue. There are extra pillows in the closet that may not have been noticed. Thank you for your stay.

The Ashley

The Ashley was a beautiful Condo complex. Cherylynn's condo was also beautiful. It was in a great location and it was nicely decorated. She provided everything we needed for our vacation (including all beach toys and accessories). There were plenty of towels and everything you would need in the kitchen. I loved having the washer and dryer in the condo! This is a great place to stay if you are traveling with younger kids or just as a couple. The only true downfall of the condo complex is it is made up of Older people. They are strict on some rules (no walking in the halls without shoes or a cover-up). Also, I felt like if we would have made too much noise at the pool the people would have been upset. Most of the residents were very friendly, just a few pushed the rules with my 10 and 14 year old. Other than that this it was an absolutely beautiful place and I highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you Cherylynn for providing a very clean and beautiful condo and thank you for the prompt return on the deposit.

Thank you for being such a gracious guest. Some owners here do have the aura of being so entitled. I will discuss this issue with the building managers. Any guest of mine has equal entitlement here! 😀�🐬�

Very disappointed!!

Having stayed at the Ashley last summer, we were excited to stay in a ground-floor unit. It was clean, but not comfortable for my family. It is not a matter of just walking right out to the pool! You must walk down a hill and steps to get there, and then climb steps and a hill to return. Since a member of our family has severe knee problems, this was Impossible! All the chairs are bar height--not a normal chair in the condo. This is a big problem for a handicapped person. We had to put a pillow in the recliner to make it comfortable to use--felt like you were sitting over a hole. Since it stormed while we were there, we rented movies to watch while stuck indoors. The DVD player didn't work--wasted that money! Owner suggested we could go to the basement--no thanks. The guest room needs to be totally updated. The twin bed was very uncomfortable and very noisy every time you moved. Also, if you need darkness to sleep, go somewhere else! Because of lights in the lobby, the second bedroom was so bright you could almost read a book with the lights out. It needs a room-darkening shade or curtains for sure. This unit was not at all what we expected! It also took almost a MONTH to get our refund returned! Very disappointed!!! You have a much nicer view from upper floors. Love the area and the Ashley--just not this unit!
Response from VrboOwner on 1 May 2020
Of 100 plus traveller reviews this was the first negative one we had ever received. Not sure why she chose to complain about beach access since she stayed in a different condo in this building before. The beach access is not a problem for most. Coming from our balcony it is a short cut and just convenient but there are other routes. We have a premium cable package and DVDs have become unpopular so we were not aware that the player was not functioning for them. I only offered the games room which is on the basement floor but it is comfortable and Superbly finished and because she was adamant to watch a DVD movie. The deposit was returned in my stated timeframe however it was due to PayPal that caused a delay because she wanted to avoid VRBO fees. VRBO returns money quicker. Anyone who knows us know that we take accommodating our guests is our priority! This renter seems to be an insatiable guest and could have advised me of her issues before being malicious. I likely would have given her further amenities and concessions had she been gracious enough to do so. So sorry that the weather was challenging, like many other issues apparently.

Good location on beach

Place was a bit outdated but clean and convenient. BUT it is time to move into the 2000s and get a digital key code. We had to meet someone at the condo to get physical keys! Unfortunately we misplaced one set of keys which resulted in the manager hounding us and talking down to us via text exchanges. Yes, we were told to return them but stuff happens. Help yourself and guests by getting a key pad.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Oct 2020
Thank you for your review. We cannot do anything about the key situation, it is the building's preference not to have key codes at the secured building entrance to the many owner residences. I saw the texts from my condo manager about the keys She texted you to inform that a set was missing, you had agreed and she had explained that she just needed to let the owner know. All she had said is that she was very clear on your check in to replace the keys on the rack and there is also a notice on the door to remind you when you leave. I don't think that is talking down nor hounding you. She was giving you an opportunity to replace before she notified the owner. This manager has travelled at times over an hour to meet guests who have forgotten something or another. If you want to wine about your mistake stick to the big box resorts who charge you as much.

Renter beware!

We have rented many different Condo's, in Florida, over the past two decades. Understandably, with some of these previous rentals, we have had a few issues. To the credit of the owners, those issues were always resolved expeditiously and dealt with in a business like manner. That was not the case with this rental. Based on our experience renting this unit, the issues that arose and how the owner dealt with those issues, we would never rent this unit again or deal with its owner. J. G. Sherbrooke, Quebec Canada

It is very unfortunate that this guest felt this way and is trying to hurt my rating and reputation. I have always had great reviews and treat guests how I would like to be treated on vacation. I take all concerns personally and strive for excellence. This traveller is being spiteful because he tried to blackmail me for monies for a good review. He originally sent me a letter wanting an excessive amount of money “before” he posted his review. I did not accept that because we did everything possible for this traveller to minimize any disruption. The basic issue is that my fridge broke down and rather than spend several days waiting for a part I bought a brand new fridge within 2 days. He was offered other remedies to keep any food preserved and I would have reimbursed him for any food that had spoiled. He had 5 days left of a 30 day rental so he couldn’t have that much food left. Therefore he is extremely unreasonable in his review about “how” the issue was handled. It I was the only issue I was aware of. His actions will be reported to VRBO on his blackmail attempts. Some people just want a free vacation on the backs of others. This traveller should not be so ungrateful and spiteful and is a nightmare to rental owners using the VRBO site as a booking venue. No one should be held for ransome in lieu of a great review because that not fair nor democratically ethical. Truly sad.

About the host

Hosted by Cherylynn Hunt

Host profile image
Me and my family have been coming to DBS for many years visiting relatives. We decided to buy this rare offering of a beautiful 1st floor condo over 10 years ago. I personally have been coming to this area since my spring break days (hmm! that was just yesterday).
My husband and I are retired military veterans and although our children were very young when we bought this condo, they are now both in college. We love this area and know you will too. People are very friendly and everyone of course loves the beach. Instead of spending thousands of dollars for a week with Disney ($800/day for a family of four?), let the beach entertain you and visit Disney for one to two days. It is about a 75 min drive from DBS. I love Disney but the beach will save you money! It may be possible to get you a few days in Kissimmee from my other contacts if desired.

Why they chose this property

Breath-taking views of the beach and ocean are viewed from large floor to ceiling windows in living room/dining room and MBdm.
This beautiful condo is on the first floor with access to the grassed area and about 100 steps to beautiful heated pool and beach.
We are very close to the no drive part of the beach if you prefer no cars. You just need to walk south about 200 ft.
***Why would you want to be sky-high trapped in a condo on the top floors? You need to get something from your condo, do you want to take a slow elevator up to get it from the beach? On higher floors, your view is limited to blue ocean and blue sky while you are in your condo. You cannot possibly see anything else when you are sitting.
Your view of the beach sees only small ants from so far above. Why would you want to solely be restricted by elevators to get in/out of your condo? If you want to smell and hear the beach - THIS RARE OFFERING OF A FIRST FLOOR UNIT IS FOR YOU!..

What makes this property unique

Beach Themed Condo
1st FL pool and beach access directly from our balcony
20th FL Penthouse for your use. It can also be rented for a special occasion.
4th FL West side sundeck overlooking the Halifax River
Many other spaces such as a sitting area behind the lobby before the pool deck, Games room with TV, WIFI, Games and WII games, shuffleboard.
Gym, Sauna, Whirlpool in the same area
