Beautiful penthouse! We enjoyed the views the most! The unit had everything we could have needed and then some. The weather was a little too chilly to enjoy the terrace for too long but it was such a great outdoor space! Maybe we will return in the warmer months to enjoy it!

Thanks so much, Emily! We’re thrilled you loved the penthouse and those amazing views — they really are something special! Totally get you on the chilly weather, but we’d love to have you back when it’s warmer so you can really soak up that terrace time. You’re welcome anytime!
We loved our stay here! The penthouse was so spacious for our family of 6. We felt like it was a home away from home. The beach toys and access were a bonus. The terrace pool was calm and relaxing too! We’d love to return!

Thank you, Jenny. I'm glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay in the spacious penthouse. It's great that the beach toys and terrace pool added to your experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable visit!
Drove from Tampa area 6 hour drive and when we arrived they basically said screw us cause we had 9 people instead of 8, side note the penthouse sleeps 12 so the one extra person had to book their own hotel 1000 on Memorial Day weekend and we had to show proof. Then they still didn’t want to let us in. We had to call ECVR to have them call the head of HOA to Approve the stay. The way they just really said screw us and my family of 9 with not a care in the world was so rude. Front desk really just was started my Vacation off on the wrong foot. They just didn’t care.

Dear Ashley,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. I sincerely apologize for the frustrating check-in experience you and your family encountered after your long drive from Tampa.
You're absolutely right that the situation could have been handled much better. The front desk staff should have approached this with more understanding and professionalism, especially given that you had traveled such a distance for your Memorial Day weekend vacation. I understand how disappointing it must have been to start your family time on such a stressful note.
I want to assure you that this experience does not reflect the level of service we strive to provide our guests. I will be addressing this matter directly with the front desk management and HOA to ensure better communication and guest service protocols are in place for future arrivals.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and I hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the welcoming experience you and your family deserve.
Thank you again for your review, and I hope the rest of your stay was more enjoyable.
Best regards
