The Boardwalk is the best location on the "strip". The beachfront is less crowded than the condos on either side.
Condo 683 is a very spacious 2 bdrm space for a family. The master bedroom has a king bed that was very comfy. We brought our own pillows because that's just how we travel. I worried about the condo prior to our arrival because I had seen a couple of less than favorable, reviews. I would like to address a couple of things. The shower in the master does drain slowly. I can certainly see why. We washed head to toe to remove sand from ourselves before heading up to the condo every time. It never failed that when showering there would be remnants of sand in the bottom of the tub. I would wipe it up to avoid it going in the drain. If you can tell me that you shower and have zero grains of sand, then you need to tell us your trick. I imagine that those sand remnants build up over time in the plumbing of all of the condos. So if you shower in the master and it drains a bit slow, please don't make a big fuss. The 2nd bath shower drained very well. I assume it gets used less. The kitchen is beautiful with updated appliances. We didn't use the dishwasher so I can't speak to the ease of use. There was every single item in the kitchen that we needed. Toaster, crockpot, plates, cups, cutlery, utensils of all kinds, Pyrex bakeware, tupperware like containers, microwave, coffee pot. We are coffee junkies and will definitely bring our Keurig with us next year. (Because there will be a next year!)
The washer and dryer were FABULOUS! They were a very nice, updated washer and dryer. Someone mentioned that the only water that would come out was hot water. No. Turn the dial to warm or cool and the water will be cold. The hoses may be hooked up incorrectly. But seriously, just play with the water temp dial and you will get cold water. Again, this is not something that I would complain about. This is not an owner issue, this is a cleaning issue. The condo was very dusty. Renters pay a considerable cleaning fee so I feel that it shouldn't be dusty. And yes, the couch is outdated. Who cares?! If you go for the couch, you are doing it wrong. It served it's purpose for us. The decor is nice. The flower arrangement on the dining table was BEAUTIFUL. The book shelf was stocked, thank you for that. This condo is great. I would recommend it highly to anyone and everyone.
