I would not stay there again! The air conditioner will not keep the room cool. It didn't get below 74 degrees. I called they sent someone out but never got fixed the entire week. I seen other reviews saying same thing. The parking is awful. The overflow parking lot would only hold like 15 cars. We ended up having to pay an extra 267 dollars because of having to park in public parking all week. The unit was ok but would never stay there again.
Property itself was great. Would recommend a shelving unit or something for a pantry. The parking was a nightmare. I was told there was a parking spot at resort and one across street in overflow. Was not told the overflow was a first come first serve with maybe 20 spots so there was never a spot available. Ended up paying 160 to park 2 cars in paid parking lot. Asked the staff person for help on parking the first day and he replied âit is my first day and i donât know anythingâ. The unit was clean-floor didnât seem to have been mopped but wasnât bad. Called the number I was given if I had questions. I asked about the parking and was told they would call me right back. 2 weeks later and I still havenât gotten a call back. One of the kind size beds with the ocean view, the mattress needs to be replaced bc when you sit in it, you felt the underneath All in all I would stay here again.
We booked the two neighboring condos for our whole family and had such a wonderful time. The condos were clean and beautiful and very comfortable for all of us. I would definitely book again.

PROS - Condo was nice size, the balcony was great and the AC worked well. Good building location, but traffic is heavy. Parking for 1 car was great in garage, 2nd in overflow sunny/hot lot across the street was ok IF you got a spot. We liked the large dinner table and couch, everyone had a seat. Plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses and cookware.... some pans starting to need replaced. CONS - Cleaners need to do better, one room smelled like urine, the floors still had sand on them and the bathrooms needed more attention. The clothes washer needs cleaned, it looked like mold is developing on the main door seal. The room TVs are very old and one of them didn't work. The 2 building elevators get overrun, overloaded and get stuck, sometimes took 20+ minutes to get one. Hiking up 22 floors was strenuous for some and a non-starter for WARNED! The gym/pool WiFi didn't work and there are different access codes for the room, the gym, the pool and sometimes the pool one didn't work. The ONE working gas grill was slow IF you could get it started. There was only 3-4 luggage carts and of course I couldn't find one when checking in or out.
A/C went out and we went 3 nights without AC. The bedroom light didnât work in 2/4 of the rooms. We also had to go to the laundromat down the street because the washer is full of mold and mildew, the smell had the whole room stinking bad! Property manager said they could spray the unit and thatâs it. After seeing previous reviews, I now see the mold and mildew has been a problem for years
ProsThe over stay was great. Most things within 30 minutes if you don't catch traffic. Good donut shop down the street. Walkable to the supermarket. The view was amazing and your right on the beach.ConsWent to extend my stay and was overcharged. I'm still trying to get the difference back. Beach chairs provided had a tear in them and didn't set up. The dryer has the wrong lint trap in it and wrecked several articles of our clothing.
The elevators for being on 22nd floor worked fabulous. Elevators always clean smelling -mopped frequently. Pool was kept nice and clean, water was warm and enjoyable. Our 4 bedroom condo very spacious. Floors were a little gritty upon arrival -kind of expected with the sandy beach right out the door. Condo was well supplied -with pots, pans, and dishes but no organization to cupboards constantly searching to see what was available. Major appliances in need of repair -dishwasher racks Refrigerator drawers -dryer so full of lint and sand it wouldnât dry ( my husband took vacuum and cleaned it out-found a hair clip and underwire for a bra after removing -dryer worked better) however lint trap kept tangling the clothes ruined my brand new Nike t shirt.We are not hard people to please so enjoyed staying so close to the beach.
I didnât read the reviews from previous renters which I should have.Issues:There were clothes left in drawer from previous renters.There was frozen food left in the freezer from previous renters.The vent in the dryer was the wrong one for this dryer so the vent stood out. It destroyed 2 bathing suits and one shirt.There was a hole in the wall in one of the bedrooms.The mattresses were very uncomfortable. They need replaced.The kitchen has no pantry. No place to put non perishable food. Had to take up all the counter space.
The room was nice several things wrong with room that was told to manager and never got fixed. Parking is horrible. For the money we spent expected a little better.
It was a great space and great area!!!!! Loved the condo so much !!!!! There was plenty of room for my big family âŠ.It was me and 2 teenagers and 3 kids ranging from 20-23 and my 4 year niece and There was stuff for everyone !!! We will be back !!!
Very nice, Kitchen well equipped, cozy enough, but big enough for large family gathering (inside and balcony) clean with a few missed items (coffey pot culture project and mildewing towells in washer smelling up the laundry/bath). But hey, based on the scope of the whole package, easy fix on our side. ĆŽe appreciate the amenities and the beautiful setup of the condo. Yes, per previous comments I can wholely confirm that the mattresses are needing replaced. They have a foam topper in the closet if you want to strip the bed and put it on.
Over all, very satisfied. Thank you!

Great views and location Only 2 elevators for a large complex
Condo is beautiful Location is wonderful. Weather was absolutely beautiful. However, the condo was not clean properly floor was dirty could not walk barefoot ⊠smelly dirty water in the bottom of the wash machine I didnât realize it till after I threw my clothes in⊠Otherwise it was a great vacation..
The condo was great and was in the perfect location. This was our first trip to PCB and without a doubt has been our favorite U.S. destination thus far.
The only downfall to the condo is the elevators (a little bit slow but they were working on fixing the second one so this may not be the case when that gets fixed) and the fact that someone kept taking our parking spot.
This was a beautiful unit. Loved that every bedroom had a bathroom. The room with bunk beds could use a ceiling fan (too hot in that room). We had no issues with the elevators! We were worried about that being on 22nd floor but was great. The parking garage was tight but doable. My only complaint was we had a non-working coffee pot and had to buy one because we requested a replacement that we never got. Our host was fast in responding to any questions I had though and had maintenance there quick to unclog sink! Overall, it was WONDERFUL! We would stay there again.
Mattresses are in need of replacement, condo is layer out nicely. Balcony a big plus, needs to leave more paper goods, dish towels in condo for guests.
Beautiful condo, but next time we will pick a different one.

The condo was very pretty and nice, however we personally wouldnât stay here again. Hereâs why: We have stayed at Grande Surf and Gulf Crest before. Those also had things we didnât love like a smaller pool, but we would pick them over this ANY day. The location of Ocean Ritz isnât within walking distance of hardly anything. We love to walk to dinner/bars and that wasnât really an option here. VERY limited. The elevators had issues the first few days where they kept breaking leaving everyone to use the stairs.. thatâs fine, but this condo is on the 22nd floor! If you want to feel like youâre in a sky scraper youâll like this one. Our party could not even look over the railing without getting a pit in their stomach feeling. We will never stay any higher than the 15th floor again. This was terrible. Not even enjoyable at night. The pool is also very small for how many condos there are. The pool gates also do not unlock early so if youâre going to walk on the beach before 7 am plan on walking the main path out front of the condo to get to the beach... which also leaves you with no where to rinse off your feet.. The condo: Cons:The kitchen is SO SMALL. You can barely open the fridge door to get inside of it because it hits the trash can. The comforter blanket and extra blankets smelled so dirty. When we left I did read that you just fold the comforter and blankets, but they go and wash the sheets.... Iâm sorry, but if youâre paying almost $6000 for a week, you should have a clean top blanket/comforter as well. I actually washed the extra blanket so it was clean for the next family because it was disgusting. The front load washer- letâs just say itâs full of mold on the front ring inside of it!! The smell is atrocious!!! I did email photos of it and were sent some stuff to clean it ourselves...Pros: The number of bedrooms/beds/bathrooms is perfect for 2 families.
