Florence I 507 - Compact thrifty digs;Beachfront pool;Dog-friendly

The condo needs some updating.

The door bolt broke and wouldn’t open at 10 at night. Was told to go pick up a key, had to drive to go get it just so it wouldn’t work. Had to wait for someone to come try a master key, just so it wouldn’t work. Didn’t get placed into a new condo until 12:30am, without any of our belongings. Try being with 3 children ages 0 - 4 without anything for their night time routines. No diapers or medication for babies that ended up with fevers. No apologies, no reimbursement. Nothing. Horrible stay/experience.

Updating needed.

Terrible experience – I regret booking this placeI stayed at Florence I, and honestly, I should’ve listened to the reviews. I saw multiple complaints from previous guests but gave it the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake.Communication before arrival was fine, but the moment we saw the building, we knew we had made a bad decision. The exterior already looked run-down, and it only got worse from there.The unit had a strong musty smell as soon as we walked in. The furniture and kitchen appliances were old and some had visible mold. The bathroom curtain was covered in black mold, the bed sheets were in poor condition, and the ceiling had large black mold stains. Everything felt damp and neglected.The pool and jacuzzi were outdated—yes, they do daily maintenance, but it doesn’t hide how old everything is. I was honestly worried for our health. My son got sick by the second day with allergies and a cold, likely from the poor air quality.The only positive thing is the ocean view and the location. But if you expect a clean, modern, and healthy place to stay—DO NOT book this place. I won’t make the same mistake again.

Close to everything would book again. The only issue to me was the apartment number on the parking voucher that has to be left in the car window. For safety measure I dont think that should be on there. Other than that was'nt loud. Was able to see the sunrise from the patio which was Amazing. Easy access to the beach.

What a great week! The locstion of this unit was perfect! Great beach access. Unit was mostly clean. Well stocked with dishes

Check in was wonderful. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Room wasn’t all that much for the price we paid. I had to wash dishes before using. The ceiling had dirt from vents. The side of fridge had caked on something all over it. I was to afraid to wipe it. And the bed, my husband and I have never slept on something so uncomfortable. And my husbands military. That’s saying something. We experienced back pain for 2 days from springs pressing into our backs. Other than that the staff was friendly and the view was amazing. Had a beautiful time. Even seen a dolphin hunting our last day from the balcony. It was beautiful.

Most splendid view from the balcony, ideal to have the option to use elevator or stairs, just amazing!

Very well kept property. Family friendly location. Simple process and friendly staff. We loved this property.

We enjoyed our stay at the cozy 1BD apartment in Aug 2023. It's important to us that our growing teenage boys have separate beds to sleep in and the twin bunkbeds fit the bill. Though they are ~5'8 they were still able to fit. The view of the beach is awesome and was wonderful to be able to wake up every morning to the sight and sound of the beach. Only downside was that the beds were a little hard. Would recommend that the property managers invest in upgrading the matresses throughout.
