    Its a rather new development with great eminities. It offers an at home feel. It was super clean as we could smell bleach upon arrival.They even had luxury robes which we loved. Do yourself a favor and book yourself a staystay

    This apartment was lovely, very comfortable, clean, and felt brand new. We enjoyed our stay and will be back. The wine was a nice treat. The location on Bay Street was great, despite the road construction and detours. Hopefully, that will be finished soon. The walls are a bit thin so you may hear traffic and other guests but while it was noticeable, it was not too bad.

    My wife and I stayed 4 days for our 35th Anniversary, it was quiet, comfortable and impressive. Upon our arrival, the host had left us a complimentary bottle of wine! Thank you for the hospitality!!! We loved the 2 balconies and 2 bathrooms, 1600 Sqft was awesome to move around in and price was great for 4 days, the only thing we didn’t like was we couldn’t get Netflix on Roku and the master bedroom bed was very noisy, also the floor board was noisy on my wife’s side of the bed every she got out of it. Other than that, everything was great.

    Your condo was exactly as advertised. Spacious and well appointed with breathtaking views of the Bay. I’d only offer two constructive criticisms; (1) hid all the cords on living room tv… they make a terrific room seem a touch less terrific. (2) simplify your instructions on setting room temps… we are not geniuses but we’re not dummies either. And (3) provide better quality to for your quests. Your condo is superb but your to is subpar. Thanks for letting us stay … we had a terrific time!!

    When we arrived there was an issue with heating. Management responded quickly and got us into another unit. We loved 403. Beautiful place with lots of room. We would recommend 539 Bay Street!

    Fall leaves and wineries were great. Condo was very nice. Our problem, we could not get any cable channels except Roku. People our age like local channels - news, programs. Pillows need replacing, very flat. Overall, nice stay.

    The location we had 303E was gorgeous and lived up to our hopes of view, location, and overall modern luxury stay. The check in process, texted codes, and info screen inside was great and your automated system worked without a flaw. Place was well cleaned but floors were very dirty. Processes are very automated and still not really working well with concierge and checkout. View is awesome but note that traffic noise is considerable (however impossible to avoid and be along the strip without it). Location to dunes, downtown and Al round about the best you could ask for. Communications with property management wasn’t the best and needs improvement.
