TLDR: The unit I rented was ok, but they partner with a predatory towing company to extort vacationers for an extra $300. The representatives at Bryant (property owner) passed off my complaint as "oh everyone here does that".
Just because everyone does something wrong doesn't make it right. And I saw at least one property does have a gated lot instead of requiring visitors to remember to place a half sheet of copier paper on their dash every time they park. The property could use a gate with a key card or short term code like we had on the door of the unit. Bryant could issue parking passes with low tack adhesive, or even give their customers a couple pieces of tape. There are many ways to protect vacationers...IF that was their priority. Instead the priority seems to be to squeeze the vacationers for every last dime before they realize the whole town is just another trashy tourist trap with with nothing to set it apart from any other trashy tourist trap from here to the tip of Texas.
With that out of the way, now to discuss the unit. We stayed in Sea Colony unit 14 A. This building is elevated with resident parking on the lowest level, then 3 floors of condos above. This unit is on the middle floor.
The good: The unit was clean and well maintained. The bed was ok, not great but not bad. The master bedroom and living room both have sliding doors that open onto the patio, which has 6 chairs and 2 tables, and a good view of the beach and ocean. We fell asleep every night and every afternoon nap to the sound of waves breaking. That was nice.
The bad: Every horizontal surface in this place is covered in cheap "beach house" type decor. Before we could unpack we had to spend 10 minutes tossing all that junk in a closet so we'd actually have room for our things. The couch in the living room is quite possibly the least comfortable thing I've ever sat on, and I was raised roman catholic so I know uncomfortable seats. And of course, theres the whole stealing my car and extorting me to get it back thing.
Prior to getting towed I may have considered staying here again if I were to return to the area. Even though there was nothing outstanding here, the devil you know is sometimes better than the one you don't. After getting towed, and hearing the dismissal of it from everyone I interacted with afterward, I won't return to the property or area in general, and I'll discourage anyone I can from considering this place as well.
