“One of my top 3 places since 1981”

I've been timesharing wit RCI since 1981. This is one of my top 3. We were lucky enough to be put in a unit directly on the beach. The view of the ocean was amazing. We've never been to this part of Florida before and definitely would come back. The units must have been recently redone, because everything was fresh and updated. Richina was very cordial and knowledgeable. She checked us in and she was one of the best in the business to help us get a higher floor. The choice of furniture was great, except the tray ottoman was a bit uncomfortable to sit next to my husband and put our feet up. I think it will not fare well quickly as families with children stay through the years. Silly, but I LOVE the lights above the dining room table. Unit was spotless. I just read a review by someone I think stayed next to us, and it's unfortunate they are unhappy. They got bitten, as I did, but that was due to the black flies and mosquitoes, and I would think no seeums. My husband must not be very tasty because he didn't get bit at all. This happens at the beach. They had ants, we did not. They complained that the snack shack was closed, but there is a vending machine in the garage, there is a Cumberland Farms two blocks away and a Publix 5 minutes drive. We always go to the grocery upon arrival to get basics for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. There is an ice cream and sandwich store 4 blocks away. Yes, the pillows are all soft, and the bed was a bit hard, but I usually have a foam bed and topper, so we are spoiled. My recommendation is to put up some towel hooks around the bathrooms - only had a hook on the door.. I laugh when I see these big lighted mirrors because they never are lit well enough. Not even for my husband. We will have to mention that there's something wrong with the oven, but if no one has reported that, not their fault. Twice I used it to reheat premade meals from Publix and both times our meals were not warmed. It took forever to preheat, too. The balcony had a lounge chair, dining table with 4 chairs and a café table. The single elevator was amazingly fast. Never had more than one other couple with us, either. Again, this is one place in Florida that I would recommend to everyone I know.
