We’ve stayed in this building before and this was our first stay in this condo. It is beautiful, just as you see in the photos. The view is incredible, you see the ocean the minute you walk in. We loved sitting on the balcony, enjoying the beachfront. The unit is extremely clean, well stocked and is nice and quiet.

This is our second time staying in this rental, 9 months apart and instead of the owners investing just a little bit to improve some things mentioned in previous reviews all are the same or worse. It’s truly unfortunate because this could be a spectacular rental.
TIP - check under the sink to see if there is a pan to catch drips. I’m not sure if we are just incredibly unlucky or what but on each stay we had to have a plumber come to fix flooding under the sink. It had to have been a known issue because someone placed a pan and container to catch water without addressing the problem We could not believe we came home to water coming out from under the sink AGAIN.
Pros:
- The view
- 3 bedrooms with en suite for each
- Two pools
Cons:
- Balcony furniture. DO NOT SIT ON THE CHAIRS. Seriously…the rust will stain and the cushions needed to be replaced years ago
- Pots and pans. Such an easy fix to replace with a inexpensive set on occasion
- Slider to balcony from living room….impossible to open without using two hands and then it was really, really difficult
- Fix fan in the back room
- Check AC We could not get it to work properly all week
- Blinds in master bedroom do fall off at the slightest touch
Some of these issues probably relate to this being a rental and get frequent use but a little TLC would go a long way
We will not return to this rental. There are other places with the same spectacular view and we booked our next stay at a neighboring place.

We were very satisfied with our stay here. It felt very spacious with decent accommodations (bathrooms and space) for even the 2nd and 3rd bedroom occupants. The building has 2 options for pools and the 3rd floor one was perfect since it was heated and had a hot tub that was in great condition (and very hot). Often we had the pools to ourselves. We brought lots of beach items (surfboards, wetsuits, chairs, etc) and so the private garage space was a great perk too for convenient secure storage. The comments others mentioned about pots and pans, and bring extra TP are accurate. I’m not a decorator but I’d suggest brightening up the back two rooms somehow. Otherwise it was awesome. Location not too crowded. Amenities (pools and fitness room) were lovely. Beds comfy. Provided towels nice (beach ans regular) but also good to have some extra beach towels.

This is a beautiful three-bedroom condo. The view is outstanding and overall the unit is high-end and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Having said that, several little things need attention: Blinds in the MBR literally fell off when trying to close them; the seat cushions on the patio were dirty and worn; the grill cover was filthy, and the pots and pans are ready to be replaced. No one of these items is a big deal, but taken together, they did detract a bit from the overall experience. Address these items and you have a gem!

We were happy with the property and enjoyed our stay at this rental. The property was clean and well maintained and at a good location. The beach was not crowded which made it enjoyable. Having some beach supplies were enjoyed by the kids.
A few points to improve on:
Lighting in the family area/dining was not enough
Bulb in the porch was fused
We didn't know that we had to bring shampoo/conditioner etc which we had to go buy
Toilet paper was just enough, additional could have been provided along with the dishwasher detergent

I have been renting condos up and down Jax beach for about 6 years now 2 to 3 times a year and this condo is the nicest , cleanest, we have rented and will now stay here every time we come. Great location! You can walk to many places to eat and drink. The view from the spacious covered patio is very relaxing.

My family stayed in this condo for six nights over Labor Day weekend and enjoyed every minute (we booked for next April during our stay)
The condo is HUGE.....which was perfect for our family. Everyone had their own room and bathroom ( a real treat). We loved hanging out on the balcony enjoying the ocean view each morning. It was very easy access to the beach, which we enjoyed throughout the day. There were two pools and we were almost always the only people in them. It was so refreshing to hit up the pool after the beach. The condo was clean and fairly well stocked.
Suggestions for owners:
Realizing this is a rental and supplies do take a beating I would consider replacing pots and pans...they were pretty worn out. There were no plastic cups for outdoor beverages so we purchased some and left for next guests
A previous reviewer commented on no lights on the balcony and I didn't think we would mind that so much but SOME lighting on the balcony would have been nice in the evening.
Overall this unit is in an amazing location...beach and pool at your doorstep and plenty of room. I would highly recommend.

Perfect condo for large family
Family of 7 comfortably stayed for a week. Love that the garage can hold our beach gear and the pool and beach is just out the door. Workout room with sauna is clean and equipment is still in good shape. Most units are owner occupied so the place is quiet and treated better than if it was all renters. Great environment to unplug and relax. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, but Jax beach has amazing seafood choices so we didn’t cook dinners in. We’ve been staying here for a few years and plan to keep coming back.

A beautifully appointed home with 2 pools and easy access to a relatively quiet stretch of Jax Beach. Mellow Mushroom and SaltLife restaurants in easy walking distance. We'll be back!

Great condo
The condo was big and nice. We enjoyed our stay. However, I wish the check in would have been easier. Key code would have been much easier than having to meet for a key and having a certain time to check in. Thankfully we had someone in Jacksonville to meet and get the key because we was arriving after 830 pm. The condo had everything we needed and was very clean.

Excellent location and beautiful building right on the beach with two beautiful pools. Parking for two cars including a private garage. While the apartment had a beautiful oceanfront terrace with beautiful views it could use some updating and smelled very musty. The stovetop and dishwasher could be replaced and the musty furniture needs a refresh.
