Overall, the Runaway Beach Club condo and property/amenities were fantastic! Close enough to attractions and such, but also feels tucked away. The photos in the listing are very accurate to the unit, which was very clean, newly updated, bright and airy. The beds, linens and towels were all good quality and comfortable. The property has two pools and a hot tub which were also great and well maintained. You also have access to the larger Calypso Key resort across the street (get wristbands from the resort office) with additional pools (with slides), a small putt putt course and a few other amenities. It's a self check-in process for which you'll receive a gate code and keycode for the front door in advance of arriving. However, staff in the resort office were available during normal business hours and very helpful. One check-in tip we'd offer: The unit is located on the backside of the building. We arrived at night and although there is a walkway in between the buildings, it wasn't immediately apparent to us that it led to other units on the backside so took us a little hunting to locate ours. Also, one minor negative to note, we experienced some meaningful noise from the unit above ours (could hear them walking around, sliding chairs across on the floor, etc.) probably due to limited sound insulation between the upstairs and downstairs units. This was most noticeable at night but we slept just fine. Again, overall a great place to stay. We would certainly return and would highly recommend to others.
Property was clean and all beds and furniture was new. Kitchen had adequate supplies. Master bedroom bed was very comfortable. Only negative comments would be the beds in the other bedroom were very soft, clean and new though
Very nice and quiet condo for the family! Love the pool and hot tub. Thank You!
