The Location was absolutely perfect. We love how close it was to the beach. Also, everything that they had for the beach was absolutely amazing. We did find the bedding to be lacking a little. There were no extra blankets or anything that we could locate or any extra pillows. Also, the kitchen was lacking a few basic utensils to be able to cook well, but we made it work.

Overall a great stay. The main photo shown is from ABOVE the roof top. You can see the water from the top of the condo, but not as pictured. This condo is right behind the pool. Very clean, well stocked, including beach, chairs, wagon ice chest. You’re within a minute golf cart ride to the beach definitely in walking distance of many restaurants, ice cream, shops and shopping. The only thing that I missed about being in Florida is an actual balcony. The bottom floor has the washer dryer bathroom with tub queen bed with a separate full size with bunk on top. The second floor has a bedroom with a community bathroom that has a shower only, kitchen and living room. Going up a second set of stairs is the third floor, which has two bedrooms each with their own bathroom that has tub and shower combo. Then there’s a spiral staircase that leads up to the rooftop balcony. Please be very careful as one friend fell off the bottom step coming down twice the second time she fell she fractured her ankle. The stair steps are the same color as the floors and hard to see. I would recommend this condo for location and the property management team is amazing.

Location is hard to best with easy walkability to the beach, shops & restaurants. WiFi & dryer weren't working when we arrived but management company was very responsive and took care of things fast. Nice having a garage too. Great stay overall but (1) rooftop deck didn't have the great views of all other units because it was walled-in a bit/hard to see over the wall, (2) garbage area for all units in the complex was a total mess and (3) it would have been nice to have had some rugs down on some floors spare blankets in the rooms. Overall, would definitely recommend though and we had a great week!

Spring Break vacation

The condo was amazing! It had everything you needed. 4 Bedrooms and 4 bathrooms very reasonably priced. Everything was clean and comfortable. Loved having a backyard to play bags in. Lots of extras in the garage for beach goers. One downfall was all the steps. From the bottom floor to the rooftop there are 50 steps.

Good stay

We had a great stay at this property. It’s very close to the beach and plenty of beach amenities on property. The response from the owner was a bit slow once on property but otherwise pretty responsive. The WiFi did not work on property which was never fixed. Also, the dishwasher did not work properly which was a problem. Otherwise property was nice.

Customer service low

Leading up to our stay we contacted the property management company to ensure the property actually had what was advertised (chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.). This was an issue because only 2 of the 5 chairs were functional for a group of 9 people. We brought this up on the first and second day of our stay. The chairs were replaced the day before we departed. Way too late for something that was inquired about very early on. We also, arrived early and asked for an early check in since traveling took less time than expected. The management company said they would check and get back to us. This never happened and so we waited in the driveway for over an hour before the property manager arrived 10 minutes before our allotted time (1600) to inspect the home. This further delayed our move in timeline. Next, the door lock did not open with the assigned code causing another delay as the property manager fixed the lock. Next, the internet was intermittently in and out, making it impossible to work or communicate consistently. This is the livelihood for one of my family members and significantly affected her ability to get things accomplished. Next, we encountered a roach in the.kitchen and one of the bedrooms. Not a big deal but was an observation. For awareness, the neighboring businesses play live music which can be disruptive if you go to sleep early. The home itself is beautiful, comfortable, and close to the beach and restaurants.

Stairs, stairs, stairs, and then another set of stairs.

Overall a great stay. You don’t realize how many stairs it takes to get all the way to the rooftop. Just a few things that would have been helpful, like kitchen staples (trash bags, salt/pepper, and couple more dish towels).

Top Notch at Stay Cool!!!

Everything was top notch at Stay Cool! The walk to the beach is easy (even with two littles). The public beach access is a little crunched but manageable. All of the local people are wonderful at the stores and restaurants, we met so many great, new people! Only minor issue with the unit was the WiFi was not able to support our devices very well. Overall, a good spot for six adults and two children - highly recommend!!

Great unit, great location, but don't expect anything else.

Unit was spacious for 8 members of my family who were staying. Enjoyed the kitchen and living area. Upstairs balcony is nice and offers a view of the gulf. It is a great location. Very close to the beach and great restaurants. Recommend Shunk Gulley for lunch/dinner and Growler Garage for beer. Unfortunately, we had issues. Simple amenities that could have made our stay easier were not provided. Don't expect salt/pepper, shampoo/soap in the bathrooms, etc. Advised to bag our trash and take it to the trash bins outside (which we did), but were only provided 2 kitchen-sized trash bags for an entire week. TV had 4 remote controls but no instructions on how to use the TV/cable. Finally figured it out, but even then figured out that the remote doesn't work correctly. Channel button doesn't work so the station has to be programmed in directly, and even then while standing 2 feet from the television. Wifi was not working, and finally figured out that we had to reset it. Mgmt company requires guests to leave at 9 but doesn't allow checkin before 4, even though we requested it for my daughter who has a 2 month old baby. Reason was that they have to do a sweep/inspection of the condo before allowing new guests in. My question is why weren't these issues remedied during their 7 hour inspection? Final straw was no gas in the grill, even though listing clearly states gas grill on the premises. We had planned a nice bday party for my dtr's 30th birthday. Would say more out of let

Almost perfect...

Did we mention the Private Beaches!?!? Cross the road (30A) and 5min. to Public Beach access.. where you will be shoulder to shoulder and 4 rows deep to the water! While to the left & right the HOA guards prevents access to 300yds of beach being utilized by a single row of widely spaced HOA residents / guests 🤔 But the property is well located for the $$ and well appointed.
