Decent Place, Great Location

Overall we had a great trip. 30A is our favorite strip of beach; we?ve been coming down for about 15 years now and have stayed in numerous places in Seagrove and Seacrest (and in between). Pluses include the property location; the unit is on the beach side of 30A, in the 2nd row of condos from the beach. However, you can see and hear the water from the two decks and it's no more than a 1 minute walk to the steps down to the beach. It is also pool front, so very convenient. Inside the unit, we really appreciated all the carpet and the overall size and layout of the rooms (2 big bedrooms and a kid?s loft area and a half bath on the main living area were all nice). Furniture and bedding were comfortable and appliances and AC worked as they should.On the minus side, overall the place feels worn out and could use some additional updates to the kitchen and bathrooms. Some items looked recently updated, like the bathroom faucets, but nothing else seemed to be. Additionally, the place had a musty/slightly ?off? scent to it, and it felt like it could use a very thorough deep cleaning. There was no channel guide for the TV, which would have been nice for the evenings, and there was no wireless internet connection even though I saw a router. Overall, these things were not significant issues for us, but would be good improvements for the guest experience. One item I had a real issue with is the steps to the loft, which are not as deep as regular steps. Going up is not a problem, but coming down felt dangerous. I don't think it would be a problem for most kids because their feet are smaller, but it felt unsafe when I walked down (I ended up turning around and walking down the step backwards, while holding onto the handrail - - weird, I know, but this seemed like a better option).Overall, I would recommend DV 8B to folks who want a good value with beach convenience but don?t need some of the niceties that a lot of the newer beach condos/homes offer.

We had easy check in, but the key left in the lock box did not go to this condo. So first thing was a trip to get the correct key. Notice key, not keys. This condo has large rooms, a well equiped kitchen, nice pool, but the internet pictures are deceiving. Condo faces a parking lot and the back of another building, not the beach. Condo and beach access has many, many steps. Condo has four levels. This info, especially about condo steps, was not presented in pictues or words. Definitely not handicapped accessible. Condo looked very good on arrival, attractively decorated, but a closer look revealed that it had not been really cleaned in awhile. Dust on furniture, back of potties, tops of pictures, blinds. A large, active wasp nest on upper balcony. It had been there awhile also. Yes, I do check. $130.00 cleaning fee is very high, not to have a VERY clean, safe place when you are there. I hope the next guests get more for my $130 than I got for passed renters $$$'s.
