Windemere 1505 | Beachfront Penthouse | Heated Pool | My Beach Getaways

I was on a business trip/ pleasure trip with my wife. It was my birthday week so we took the time to pick and plan for this unit. We had this Unit booked and paid in advance due to business meetings, etc. On the day we’re traveling down, we were one hour away, a Beach Getaway representative calls us to let’s us know the unit we had prepaid and planned was not available due to maintenance. Remember, we’re now under an hour before we were to arrive for our preplanned week. They offered other unit options … (we had previously looked at when we were preplanning- non we would have rented with time) … they presented this as if they were doing us a favor. With less than an hour away now, with no real choice, we picked another unit. I’ll mention here, the representative helping us was sincerely doing her best, yet this company was obviously limited on their options to respond to such a last minute change. Trying to work with the time frame given to us, while driving down for our week, and considering a couple of options given to us, we choose another unit. Once there, the unit was mediocre at best. This unit offered to us unfortunately had issues of its own; the beds were old and uncomfortable, the tv in the living room did nothing but buffer due to its internet connection. We reached out to the rental office. They told us there was nothing they could do. The bottom line is we can’t recommend this unit, the owner, nor this rental company, Hopefully it’s a learning experience for all.

We had a wonderful time staying in this condo! We’d never stayed so high up in a building before and that was a unique experience to see the beach from such a different vantage point! Plenty of room for our family to spread out and have our own space. We planned to have a fifth person with us who couldn’t come so definitely had plenty of room! I loved the view of the water from the giant windows and doors opening straight out to the really large deck in this particular condo! The kitchen was well stocked with anything you might want to cook easy meals while on the beach - including both a crockpot and instapot! And when I saw that there were a limited number of silverware in the kitchen and let the maintenance staff know, they left several packages of brand new forks, knives, and spoons to fill the gaps! The managing company was excellent to work with and frequently communicated with us to make sure everything was going well. The bottom drawer of the oven got stuck in an open position one morning and they sent someone over to fix it within a few hours! Great job!!! We might be back because we loved this particular condo. Only downside was the parking deck was pretty tight as far as getting in and out of it do to curving concrete walked drive. That is the only downside I could think of! So if you drive a large SUV, it might need to park in the parking lot instead of the garage. Oh and the extra large hot water heater was a great perk given the jetted tun was actually able !

Great stay

Condo itself was nice - comfy beds, stocked mostly as listed except missing bathroom soaps. Beautiful view!The furniture on the patio needs replacing as the metal is rusty, and the fabric is ripped - no longer functional. The hot tub was not functional and had a Florida Health Dept. notice that it was not up to standards and was closed. The pool was not heated as the listing says. For our stay, the stove and oven was not functional - communication about when that would be fixed was not handled well - though we did have a monetary compensation for the inconvenience. The guest bathroom shower makes an awful squealing noise while taking a shower - they came to fix while we were out for the day and said they couldn’t replicate it - though it did it that evening when we tried using it again.

Unit was nice and location was awesome. We truly enjoyed

Wanted to share a little feedback with you about our experience that has made our stay less comfortable than previous years. First off the fishy smell in the condo that was coming from the refrigerator, which we do appreciate the compensation for that issue but no one ever came to clean it so we had to make a trip to purchase a baking soda deodorizer to put in the fridge. That didn’t help btw. Also, had we known the pool area wld be shut down and that we wld have to leave our vehicle in an uncovered lot, across the street, we wld have reconsidered booking with Windermere. We have stayed several years prior and never had any issues. This trip has made us reconsider ever booking with Windermere in the future.

My husband, two children and myself stayed here this past Labor Day weekend. Booked last minute, wad emailed all info. Effortless check-in via phone, able to go straight to our room with a code they send. Every single guest we encountered to and from our room was polite, pleasant and mature. No immature intoxicated people. Very family oriented. Washer and dryer in the unit was awesome. Every single thing was thought of and provided. Only things I would suggest is bring your own laundry detergent because only enough for one load is provided. And know that if you are staying in one of the penthouses on the 14th or 15th floors… in the elevator you must hit P2 followed by 222. Kind of confusing and not clearly mentioned. Room was exceptionally clean. Huge tv’s in the living room and both bedrooms, with access to every single app on the tv.. Netflix, YouTube premium, Disney etc. Huge private balcony. Great pool, which is located on the 3rd floor by the way. Honestly I have no reason to ever stay anywhere else because I don’t have a single thing to complain about. I strongly suggest everyone to stay here. Would like to mention that delivery services have a difficult time reaching you due to limited parking. Seems to only be assigned parking. 10/10 love this place!

It was nice. The beach chairs and umbrella were very helpful. The kitchen could use more storage containers.

We loved the view and easy access to the beach! It was clean and a great place for our family to stay. Kids had fun in the pool, parking was easy, and it was a great location with restuarants close by.

Great getaway

I would highly recommend.

This condo had a fantastic view and location. The beach access was easy and the pool very nice and clean. Overall, Windemere was a great property. Now for some criticisms of 1505. When we arrived, we dropped our things, took in the view, then headed out for dinner. When we returned and began unpacking we noticed how dirty and beat up the place was. I called Vacasa and reported with pictures of stains on the walls, dust, and dirt. They did send cleaners out the next day. Someone sloshed wine all over the kitchen, patio, and patio furniture. Vacasa did clean but whoever cleaned before us did a awful job. The condo itself needs painting and upkeep. The walls are all scratched and beat up/dirty. Kitchen cabinets are broken. The kitchen is stocked VERY minimally, so lots of hand washing. No oven mits. No area rugs or mats anywhere to help control sand. Sand was a battle the entire time despite our best efforts. The TV’s in the bedrooms DO NOT WORK. Vacasa or hosts did not respond to me on this after inquiring the first night Beware if you drive a SUV or truck! The parking is TERRIBLE and tight. Huge concrete turns that are far too tight. Windemere itself is fantastic. But we essentially paid for a view. This was our one big family vacation this year and we did not get what we paid for. I always book through Vacasa and have never had issues before. Vacasa needs to hold this host and your janitorial accountable. This one missed the mark.

View was beautiful from the balcony. Building is secure and we had good parking. Condo is filthy and I would not go back.

Windemere 1505 is a beautiful beach condo in Perdido Key, FL, and it was an outstanding experience. The condo was impeccably clean, convenient, and offered stunning views of the Gulf. The location was perfect, with easy access to restaurants, local attractions and direct beach access. The amenities, including a swimming pool and hot tub were top-notch. The host was very responsive and provided excellent recommendations for local dining and activities. Overall, this condo provided the perfect blend of luxury and comfort for a relaxing beach getaway with my family. I look forward to booking this condo again! Thank you. : )
