Dream Vacation Rentals

“Despite a difficult start, we ultimately enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean, charming, nicely decorated, and peaceful. Before arrival, we were notified of a sewage backup from the neighboring unit. The sewage was contained in the shower, but the odor throughout the unit was very strong and unpleasant. Since we arrived after 9 p.m., we had to drive off the island to buy Lysol and other supplies. We were told no one would come to clean that evening and that we would have to wait until morning. When no one followed up the next morning, we made several unsuccessful attempts to reach someone. Only after documenting the issue through Airbnb did we receive confirmation that someone was there to clean. Once resolved, we enjoyed the rest of our stay. Future guests should know that coffee, filters, sugar, and other coffee supplies were not provided, so bring your own. Overall, a lovely little unit, but better communication and follow-through would have made a big difference.”

“Only negative was directions…. Nowhere was SOUTH SEAS mentioned in directions. Add that going forward…. We drove around looking for Bayside Villas to discover it’s inside South Seas”

“I was not informed prior to my stay that the elevator was out of service. When I arrived, I spoke with resort staff and was told that the elevator had been broken for a long time. I was traveling with my 80-year-old parents, and having to use the stairs was extremely difficult and inconvenient for them. Because of this issue, I had to leave the resort with my parents the following day. Had I been informed about the elevator being out of service beforehand, I would not have booked this property.”

“The space was more like a hotel room than a true studio apartment. It included a bed, bathroom, small refrigerator, and a patio table, but did not have the amenities I typically associate with a studio. One inconvenience was the checkout requirement to wash dishes, as the only place to do so was the bathroom sink, which felt awkward and impractical. The property is managed by a company rather than an individual host, and the communication was excessive. I received 10 messages and a phone call within a 48-hour period, which felt overwhelming and unnecessary. The parking was a problem for everyone to grasp, perhaps signage or markers would be beneficial. I had someone parked in front of me upon departing and had to wait for them to move their vehicle. Close to private beach!”

“The only thing that I had an issue with was he waited until a couple hours before check-in to tell me not to turn the AC cooler than 72° or it will freeze up. He should just get it repaired. But we enjoyed the stay. It is a nice place”

“Excellent direct ocean and beach views and access. Complex provided reclining beach chairs and umbrellas. Very nice landscape. Unit was as described but had a few issue to note: 1. Bring your toiletries for sure 2. Bring dish washing soap and laundry detergent. Management had not left dish washing soap. 3. Bring garbage bags for the week. Only one provided. 4. Bring pillows. Units pillows firm and only one for each person 5. TVs provided local cable with possibility to sign in to accounts such as Netflix, Amazon, etc. Had to reconfigure HMDI cable to watch anything worthwhile 6. Floors and counters were covered with sand. Mgmt quickly had their cleaning crew clean the floors and counters again. 7. Parking pass was not left by Mgmt. Had to call and text four times to have one dropped off. Finally dropped off around 4pm. 8. Assigned parking space under a tree which was shedding seed pods and leaves. Landscape sprinklers left a white film on car which we had to clean several times.”

“Very clean. Great private beach. Nice quiet area. Outside shower head to rinse off and hose was great for sand. Wifi was spotty. Was expected to troubleshoot the issue on our own. Ended up using a hotspot. The AC unit could only be set to 72 and had a hard time keeping up so we were pretty hot at times. Despite those issues I would stay again”

“I've never had to write a negative review on here, and I do have good things to say about the villa. It's a nice condo close to the beach. Nice view from the balcony too. The beach is awesome (no sargassum seaweed like the east coast). We enjoyed the water, sunsets, dolphin sightings and seashell collecting. Now, the main issue we had was the refrigerator was not cooling, and I informed Ryan. He insisted that it could take 24 hours to cool the few things we brought. Well, the fridge seemed to be on it's last leg. Even the freezer was weak. So the next morning, I had to make an ice run to salvage some of the perishables we brought for the weekend. We were glad our host sent someone on day 2 to check out the problem but, in the end, all he did was confirm that the fridge wasn't working properly. It didn't get fixed or switched out. We had to throw out some things. We never heard back from anyone regarding that fridge. I'm sorry, but that's a major inconvenience at 400 bucks a night.”

“The villa was outdated and did not meet expectations. The stove was not functioning, and the microwave also had ongoing issues, making it difficult to prepare meals. One of the biggest disappointments was that many of the resort amenities were only available to property owners, not guests, which was not clearly communicated beforehand. Overall, the accommodations and lack of access to amenities made for a frustrating experience. Based on my stay, I would not recommend this property.”

“We really liked the location it was updated Nicely the downsides were the ants really made our stay very unenjoyable especially when contacting our host and being told that the location is in a tropical location and that is normal we proceeded to tell him we also live in South Florida and do not have any ant issues including our friends who were staying both next and above us with no issues. We also had to let our host know we only had 1 chipped wine glass on the property they did bring more glasses the following day and a few ant traps that did nothing to mitigate the ant issue. We will return to the Resort but will book it though the Resort due to issues like these that the Resort would address quickly. A few other notes to anyone booking this unit bring lots of quarters to do your bath towels 4 towels per bathroom for our 3 day stay. Also bring your own garbage bags 2 bags for 3 days I dislike leaving a bad review but due to how are issues were handled we wouldn’t rebook this AirB&B”
