Quiet, clean, & a short walk to the beach

This was the 4th time my family and I have stayed at a Grand Caribbean condo. We love the location! We stayed there during spring break and there were no partygoers staying there. Our condo was very nice, well stocked and very clean. It’s family oriented and therefore quiet. We loved the 4th floor because we could see the ocean.

Great condo

We had a great week in this unit. It was comfortable and very well stocked. The pictures accurately portray the unit. Great view! Only complaint was the king mattress really needs to be replaced. Huge hump in the middle. One of our friends was disappointed that the property was totally non-smoking. But still a great visit!

The condo is beautifully decorated and so clean and comfortable! Our view of the ocean mesmerized us for hours. We came during Spring Break but, the condo is just far enough out of town that we had plenty of room to set up and enjoy the beach! We will be back soon!

Thanksgiving Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. Location was close to Port A and the proximity to the beach was great! We would definitely stay again! Though want to mention a few items need fixing. The right front burner of the stove was not working. The garbage disposal did not work and the night light in the hall and bathroom did not work. The mattresses could also use toppers or be replaced.

Awesome Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Plaza Azul. The condo was much roomier than I had expected! The view from the living room and patio was amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed, and there were lots of beach items to use already in the home. The AC worked well, and the place was nice and clean. We had a great trip!

Perfect getaway

We loved everything about the condo! It is clean, nicely decorated, and has plenty of dishes and pots and pans for cooking. The view is simply stunning and the property manager always responded quickly to any of my questions. Only thing that could have been better is that the balcony door in the master bedroom wouldn’t open and at the pool the gate wouldn’t open for us to get out even with the code. I’d definitely stay there again though!!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The space was really large and perfect for our family. In general, everything was clean. We had a bit of a problem getting in with the code they sent but we got it resolved. I know how important five start reviews are so I didn't want to ding for that. Also, there wasn't coffee and it wasn't listed as something we would need to bring. Not a big deal. Lastly, the boardwalk was closed due to the tropical storm a couple weeks ago knocking out sand from underneath it and creating instability. We just used the one next door although they might not have been thrilled with that. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay. The view of the water was incredible which was one of my goals for the trip. I thought I read that we would need to bring all the beach stuff -- which we did -- but this condo was fully stocked with everything we needed (except coffee ;)) even though we didn't use it.

Fantastic Spot!

Listing is just as advertised with plenty of space and a spectacular view! Loads of extra stuff for the beach including chairs and boogie boards. The kids loved the pool! Everyone enjoyed the private walk to the beach. My only recommendation is to bring a sharp knife if you will be cooking in the spacious kitchen. We showed up an hour early, so our parking passes weren't in the unit yet, but the host was quick to respond to a message and had parking passes to us shortly. Both kids and adults asked me to book this place again next year for our annual beach trip! If you want a place that is quiet and close to the beach, I recommend staying here!

Playa Azul | Starkey by Portoro is a dream come true. Perfect in every way. Words cannot fully describe the sweet experience from One step inside the front door and down the hall through each bedroom to the large open Kitchen, dinning room and living room to the breath taking view of the Gulf of Mexico from the balcony. Perfect access to swimming pool and beach makes Playa Azul | Starkey the vacation home and experience of a lifetime!

Family fun weekend!!

This property is just like the photos. We were a family of 6, ranging from 10 years to 72. All of us were very comfortable. We loved waking up in the morning, going out to the balcony amd watching the sun come up. At night, we watched the moon and listened to the waves. So tranquil!! Side note: There is an elevator on site and luggage carts. We didn’t figure it out until the next day. Wish we would have known earlier. Also there is a Keurig as well. Bring all of your spices and extras!! Enjoy!!!

We enjoyed our stay very much! The condo is huge and the view from the oversized balcony is worth every penny. The proximity to the beach was super convenient with little ones. We really loved the location because it wasn't in the downtown area, but just close enough. Not too crowded on the beach. Make sure you bring your own everything for the beach as nothing is provided, except chairs. (This was definitely mentioned in the fine print that I missed). Thankfully the dollar store is right down the road. We'll be back for sure!

Perfect Location and Size

We loved the condo on the beach! When we walked in we were all amazed by the size. There was plenty of space for 4 adults and two 13 year old boys. You can't beat the location; only a short walk to the beach. The communication during the stay was specific and easy to follow. We would love to come back in the fall and enjoy the relaxing location!!
