Extraordinary

The views are perfect! It was windy when we were there so the two sided balcony gave us an opportunity to stay out of the wind and enjoy being outside listening to the waves. The king sized bed was extremely comfortable and the showers were nice and hot with great water pressure. Very close to shopping and dining. The pool is spotless and 7 feet deep! We will definitely stay here when we come again.

Best Birthday Week Eva!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is a dream! My family of three was amazed by the views from the fifth floor at the Flamingo — absolutely breathtaking! We didn’t want to leave. The condo was clean and had easy access to everything: the beach, pool, elevators, and parking lot. It was the perfect place for me to relax and celebrate my birthday. I truly enjoyed myself and would definitely stay here again!

Love this place. It was my father's 95th Birthday. He loves the water. He uses a walker so the condo was fine for the purposes of getting around. The sand in front of the condo is firm enough for him to walk around a little (drove down to the beach).

Perfect Gettaway!

What a gorgeous spot! The view from the floor to ceiling windows was fabulous - the beach is terrific and a joy to take those morning hikes or jump in for an afternoon swim. If is it chilly, the pool is sheltered and VERY WARM. The kitchen is well equipped and perfect for eating in - a great place to stay for a true unplugged experience.

Beach vibes

Incredible views! Wall to wall windows!! Only thing is if you want see outside, you have to wipe the windows down from the outside to remove sand & moisture with a damp cloth. But that would not stop us from staying there again. You’re on the beach! A corner room!! The entire place was beautiful, clean, comfortable and welcoming. We will be back.

Really amazing unit!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit was very nice. The master room near the balcony has nice roll down shades but is not a blackout shade, and we enjoyed waking up gently with the sunlight. The second room stays very dark for sleeping in. Cooking supplies are well stocked and closet has some umbrellas, sand toys and boogie boards. Wrap around balcony is great! 5th floor view. also, beach access is so easy. the condo had an elevator very near this corner unit and carts to help unload luggage and groceries. very clean. Would stay again!

Management

While staying here was absolutely beautiful, amazing view, and very clean! BUT my only complaint is the COMMUNICATION, it was terrible. We drove 8 hours and when we got there at check in time, they said the room hasn’t been clean yet and that we were not even on the books, even tho I have all confirmed bookings and they even took my 3,000, it was a mess, after calling the VRBO management team and dealing with the front desk trying to see what went wrong. VRBO never let them know that we booked the place. Not to mention the lady at the front desk was very rude, as I was just asking her what needs to be done. As this condo was amazing, I will not be back just because of the terrible communication.
