Renataâs 5th floor condo is so beautiful and a wonderfully cozy stay. The oceanfront view is absolutely perfect. Clean and comfortable bed, very well-maintained kitchen has everything need; dishes, utensils, dish soapsponge, coffeemakerfilters (you will need to bring your own coffee;), cleaning supplies if you need to disinfect after cooking, bath towelswashcloths, and guest bar soaps. Though the pools were undergoing renovations, we enjoyed our stay and loved the peace and quiet. Daytona Beach Shores is not an overcrowded beach-it is family-oriented and safe. Conveniently located near several restaurants and a Publix grocery. Though our trip was cut short due to a family emergency, we will return in the very near future and stay much longer. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your condo. We look forward to our next visit! God bless & keep you!!
Vacationers be careful. Place was clean, given the circumstances of construction on site. View of ocean is nice as pictures are accurate and comfortable. We just had a bad experience, as construction next door caused power outage. The noise was expected, but the crew knocked out partial power, with maintenance unable to repair during our stay.Several main electrical components were out of service, including kitchen TV..and refrigerator. For those who do a hood amount of shopping, losing power to your groceries is an important loss.The fix to this major problem was to relocate to another location down the street, towards the busiest part of Daytona. Or full refund for the stay. Now, knowing a lot about the area, we chose Daytona Beach Shores to get away from the heavy tourist traffic. If we chose this option, we were told no other compensation would be done for the loss of time. We were out power for the majority of a day, dealing with no solution.Needless to say, we elected the full refund and went on our way. Just an overall bad experience with most issues beyond beyond control of the owner. For those traveling out of state, you may be more disappointed and at a worse loss than we were.
This location and view was perfect! It allowed us to be at the beach even when you arenât directly on the shore! The view is breathtaking, and the room has everything you need for a weekend getaway.
This was the perfect beach getaway! The location had easy access to beach, mainland, and A1A highway. The condo was just as described and very clean. The wifi router is on top of the refrigerator and easy to connect to. The owner was great to work with and provided all the information for check-in and check-out. For really good food, go to Boondocks a short distance away or if you want an hour drive along A1A, go north to St. Augustine Beach and have lunch/dinner at Redfrog and McToad's. Look forward to returning!
The view was great and the bed was comfortable! No wifi though. It seems to be free building wifi, but it's non existent. So if you need to work this spot won't work.
Good for a couple or alone trip, not big enough for more than two people comfortably.
This unit was as advertised and perfect for my needs. The view from the bed and balcony are amazing. The bed was plenty comfortable. I appreciated that it was so well stocked upon arrival. Everything was clean. Renata was pleasant to deal with and made everything easy. The location is great! Walking distance to Jimmy Hulas, a wonderful restaurant with a fun environment. I ate there twice. Food is great and nicely priced. Also walking distance to Crabby Joeâs on the pier. Pool is clean and well kept. Easy access to the beach. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Only negative is definitely the poor internet access. It was not reliable at all. That wasnât a huge issue to me since I donât try to spend a lot of time online or on social media while on vacation. But this could definitely be a huge negative to some people. Also would be nice to have an ice machine on the premises but Iâm sure thatâs not an individual ownerâs fault.
I will start by saying that the location of this unit was great. The bridge across the river runs right into the building and the building is right next to the beach access. The view from the room is great. Also, Renata was very responsive when we first arrived. However thatâs where the positives end. The biggest problem was that the room was not clean. It was not that one cleaning was missed and it could be easily resolved. This seemed to be a long standing problem. There was a sanitary tag on the toilet and when we lifted the seat the whole thing had pee all over it. The floors were not clean, there was cereal and crushed chips in the couch. When I moved it to put sheets on it for my children there was used silverware on the floor as well. The vent fan in the bathroom has never been cleaned and is caked with dust. The entire unit seems run down and when itâs been repaired that hasnât been done professionally. For instance, the counter has a piece of rubber laying on it covering up damage where the stove touches the counter. There were many things like this example. The worst part of the whole thing was that all the sheets were not clean and had stains on them. We had to go buy sheets to put on the bed. The unit has a heavy mold smell as well. We aired it out but we had to do that every night. When I called Renata she offered to send the cleaning person again to clean the unit but my wife and I had already done it because it was late and my kids needed to go to bed. We didnât trust them to clean it after what we had seen and I took pictures of everything in case they were needed for this review. If we hadnât drove 15 hours we would have checked out but we didnât have that option so we made the best of it but I do not recommend staying in this unit or building.
The place was awesome with a great view of ocean. The pool was awesome and an easy walk to the ocean. Very nice for 2 people. The room for me had to much furniture and not a lot of space to move around. The only negative is that the internet for this room is virtually noexsistant. It worked sometimes but is extremely slow and kept cutting out. When I asked about it I was told that I could go to Starbucks across the street by the person I contacted. Overall we enjoyed our stay and visit pirates cove again but most likely a different room
The condo was perfect, I would definitely stay again. Had everything we needed and more. The location is perfect and the view was spectacular. The condo was very clean and decorated very nicely.
The check-in process was perfect. The view is amazing and very peaceful. The studio is very well equipped with miscellaneous items you may need. Only disappointing part was the WI-FI which was very spotty. Otherwise a great stay overall.
