9th Floor Oceanfront Sand Dollar unit in Daytona Beach Shores

Perfe

Little out dated on room and very loud construction on the dot at 8 am every morning

The stay started a bit wonky when i realized the refrigerator compressor had quit working. A simple text and was replaced almost immediately. Beautiful view and spacious condo. Met everyone of my needs.

This is truly an amazing view. You just cannot beat that. However, there were pros and cons: Pros: The view was so absolutely amazing. The location is ideal. I am not a fan of the boardwalk area. Too much traffic and people. Daytona Beach Shores was perfect. Next to no traffic, no matter the time of day. The size of the condo served my husband and myself well. We enjoyed the ability to spread out between the two bedrooms and two baths. The condo is close to Publix. The couch was amazing. Cons: Workers scaffolding and working daily. The noise wasn't too bad until last two days. They were literally right outside the front door. I loved the balcony and thankful there were only two of us. Two of the four chairs were broken. This entire set needs to be replaced. We had to use paper towels under the table legs to keep it from not wobbling. Access to beach was closed. HUGE inconvenience. Since the weather was so hot, the pool was not enough. We went to the beach and rented chairs and an umbrella to stay cooler. BUT you had to walk out the front around the next building to walk down a car entrance to get to the beach. The bigger inconvenience was there was no way to clean off sand without going through the main building and all the way out to the pool. For the price we paid months in advance, there should have been an automatic discount for the construction inconveniences rather than option to cancel. Again...you cannot beat the view!

1975 time warp. Popcorn ceilings and all Mold on balcony Black and green. Bath in hall slow drain by the time your through taking shower water over ankles and take 15 min to drain. balcony furniture wore out can only sit in 2 chairs. The door needs replacing. deadbolt doesn't work the door lock came apart and had to be repaired.The whole place needs a remodel. I went and looked at another unit and the difference is night and day for the same money. Balcony doors are very hard to open need repair. So all in all not a not somewhere we will stay again. This is about this unit not the complex or construction going on. This unit needs an update. We come every year but not here in this unit.

I really enjoyed my stay, and felt like I was at home with all of the conveniences. I am definitely going to be staying here in the future.

Under normal conditions the condo would be great! However, these are NOT normal conditions. The building construction is major concrete renovations. It is so loud - to be inside or on the deck you need to wear noise canceling headphones. Working remotely and relaxing on vacation was next to impossible. Unfortunately right now the condo should not be allowed to be rented. When the construction is over - we would definitely recommend.

Location was great. We were told there was some construction being done so we weren’t surprised, except it was also on each adjacent building. Very noisy. Unit was clean but needs some serious upgrades done. Master bedroom and bathroom need serious attention. New towels and bedding especially!! Several light bulbs burned out. Kitchen was nice, but building is old. Front door bolt doesn’t work so locking wasn’t as comfortable as I would like. I guess you can overlook some of these items since beach was fantastic, but with all the VRBO’s that I’ve spent vacation time with on water…this really needs upgrades to have a pleasant vacation.

Very easy to work with. Everything was awesome.

Over all it was good. Check in was difficult. We were told second lockbox but only could open the third lockbox only to discover no key. The cleaner took it home by mistake. Finally got inside. Everything was ok. Then the noise next door started. It was so loud you could even feel the building shake. The pool was warm if you were lucky you could get a chair. But the construction noise next door was so loud it was hard to relax. The vibrations were even felt in the pool. For the amount I paid for 10 days it was too much. Should have been discounted having to deal with the noise next door
