We booked here because of the full kitchen plus living areas; the kitchen was pretty sparse regarding cookware/appliances, but the front desk bent over backwards to get us the missing items we requested. One of the selling points was access to their resort property, just up the street. However, that property was almost deserted due to a lot of construction work. The resort pool was closed (the Bayside Villas pool was open). Overall this was a pleasant stay for us.

I was unable to access the room. I booked after 7pm on Travelocity at the airport, drove over an hour from Miami and was told by security that he did not have a room key. No room available and I’m still waiting for a refund- terrible and fraudulent!!!!

The property itself was good, clean however not as described. On the website when booking states accessible outside grills, there was only one and propane gas not given. So grill is useless. Beach area was not described, there is no beach. The kayaks describes are not on this property is in the second property, so none. Just overall disappointed. Too much $$ for what is given.

We were excited to come back since we stayed here in 2021 and loved it. But not so much this time. Ants… in the kitchen and bathrooms. They came and sprayed twice but they were still there. Then the lights in the bedroom randomly turn on at 2 am.. multiple times. I turn it off and it turns back on. We went to both resort pools multiple times and there were NEVER any pool towels. We always had to go search for someone. The Oceanside now has some inflatables in the water which are cool. But the first day my kid played on them and the stay was cool with it. The 2nd day they yelled at the kids saying we had to “rent” them. Trust me no one is renting those things. Thats ridiculous. It’s under construction/ renovation, which is fine but not once was that mentioned to me when I called or on their website. Heads up would’ve been nice. There is NO space in the bedrooms. No drawers for clothes. No closet for clothes. No choice but to live out your suit case. Icing on the cake was the fire alarm going off at 11 pm making my 3 year old scream her head off and scaring all of us. But it was just some system reset. All this wouldn’t be terrible if it wasn’t a $2500 stay. At that price I expect more. Very disappointed. We won’t be back.
