Lovely 2 bedroom 2 bath Castle Reef Condo

We enjoyed our stay. The location is amazing—steps from a lovely beach and across the street from a small shopping center so that we could walk to get essentials.

The key box was rusted and difficult to retrieve key. Overall, the property was nice. There’s no filtered water or automatic ice maker

I did have a problem with payment going through. I had to deal with the host myself in order to get my payment paid. I feel vrbo should have made sure that transaction. Because I gave them all my information for payment and the communication between VRBO and host did not happen. The only thing I got from VRBO was the reservation. The condo was amazing. Would stay there again.

Pros: Good-size 2/2 with a nice patio with a “side” view of the ocean. Patio with a nice high top style table and chairs. Comfortable beds! Plenty of extra towels, blankets. In the secondary bedroom closet there are beach towels, boogie boards, camp-style chairs, bamboo tanning mats. Internet worked fine. Kitchen was pretty much fully equipped with what looks like recently upgraded counters, sink, appliances. Elevator to the 4th floor close to the unit. Laundry room is almost right outside the unit to the left where you’ll also find the garbage shute. Paver Pool area is beautiful, directly overlooking the ocean with plenty of places to sit, both tables and chairs and loungers. Private beach access on the no- drive part of NSB - so very chill. Gorgeous. Friendly people. Observations: when I book a hotel on the beach, I choose the property by the map filter so I can pick an area I want. VRBO may have fixed it, but when I booked, the property’map’ showed an area just north of Flagler Ave, within walking distance of downtown. The unit is actually 2.4 miles South of Flagler Ave. if you want to avoid taking your car in (Parking and traffic are no joke especially on the weekends) you have to Uber at the cost of 15 each way not including tip. I tried to take it up with VRBO and they said the location was in the property description so it was my fault. . IMO, The unit could use an electric kettle (I like tea in the morning).

We rated this a 2/5 on accuracy. The location on the VRBO map showed the place close to Flagler Ave, when in fact it was 2 miles down the beach. Also, the owner did not tell us that they were dredging the beach during our visit. We liked the condo. The beach was otherwise nice. However, the listing is misleading. We feel we should get some sort of compensation for that.

Great location, very clean and well equipped.

Our stay was great, it's a good location, and the condo is nice.

Excellent host, nice and clean unit.

We loved our stay at Castle Reef. It is such a nice condo and I love that it’s right by the beach. We would definitely stay there again.

A beach access!

Well equipped and comfortable making it a great place for a friends getaway. Loved sitting on the porch seeing the beautiful ocean, and just a short walk to the nice pool area and beach.

The location is great and condo pool and location are excellent. The living room furniture was nice. However, both mattresses need replaced. The wasn’t a dresser in one of the bedrooms for clothes. The other bedroom, had 2 dressers, but were old and not very nice. The kitchen was ok, older cabinets painted to look newer than they are. Not enough, paper products, toilet paper and paper towels. There were only 2 bathroom wash cloths in total. Difficult to find extra pillow cases for additional pillows.

Great location! Need to add more towels.
