Harbor Arms 1

The property was beautiful, and we loved the location. Unfortunately, several issues made our stay disappointing. Our door code didn’t work upon arrival, and we waited outside trying to reach someone through multiple numbers and the app. We booked Monday through Sunday expecting three functioning bathrooms. Instead, we found a toilet with feces left in it that wouldn’t flush. The lift station was broken until Thursday, leaving multiple guests sharing one working toilet. Another toilet’s flush valve sprayed water. A plumber came but couldn’t fix it until the lift station was repaired. Communication was frustrating, with no clear repair timeline. We did reach out to the host who then had to reach out to the owner and HOA so we didn’t have a timeframe. We also found what appeared to be fungal or mushroom growth on a bathroom ceiling. Paying over $3,000 for a rental with these maintenance issues and unavailable amenities was disappointing. We expected better upkeep and comfort.

Thank you, Destiny, for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the property beautiful and enjoyed its location, but we’re sorry that access and significant maintenance issues affected your stay. We understand how frustrating it was to arrive and have trouble with the door code, then experience limited bathroom availability and unclear repair timing. The bathroom ceiling concern is also noted. We’ve shared your feedback with the appropriate team and contacts for review. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and are committed to improving the guest experience.

There was mold in the dishwasher and we had to unload the dishwasher. The deck was in disrepair and the outdoor shower did not work. There was hose that even has a leak in it. The swing, picnic table, and grill were all unusable and there was trash everywhere around the back of the condos. In the photos, it looked like 2 condos that ended up being 12. There was cereal under the furniture. Rust on the bathroom door hinges. We definitely expected nicer/cleaner for the price.

Beautiful place and enjoyed the direct waterfront access to the beach. The only takeaway is that when I requested a late checkout, they sent me a link to pay $25 and hour. A 1-2 hour complementary late check out would have been appreciated considering the amount of money that was spent to rent the place to only charge us more money for a reasonable request. Not to mention, no one booked the next day so our request could have easy been granted without fees.

Thank you for your feedback, Taneesha. We’re so glad you enjoyed the home and the direct beachfront access. That’s truly one of the best parts of staying there. We understand your perspective regarding late checkout. Late checkouts are offered as an optional add-on when availability allows, as they require coordination with our cleaning and preparation schedule to ensure the home is ready for the next guest. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.

Really nice updated unit we stayed in. Beautiful views and only steps to the beach. Parking was a little tricky if you have more than one vehicle but overall great place to stay!! We would definitely book again.

Our grandson was staying with his team at the Christian Center down the road for a youth football tournament and we were looking for a place within walking distance. This place fit our priorities perfectly. The views and open area were wonderful. Sleeping arrangements for 5 adults and 3 kids worked out perfectly. The home has very little curb appeal, but once we got passed that, we were all extremely pleased. It looks like the kitchen was recently remodeled and had everything we needed. The old frying pan worked out better than the new ones. Everything seemed to stick to those. We managed with the one pan. The bedrooms were fine and very clean. The views from the back porch were amazing! The porch is a little worn, but still very comfortable. There was plenty of beachy items to take outside. The kids definitely put them to use. We never could figure out how to use the TV. We managed, but written instructions would have been nice. We would definitely come back.

Terrie, thank you for your detailed feedback. We are thrilled to hear that the views and amenities at the property were a hit with your family.

Enjoyed our stay at this site. Beach access was what we were looking for and that was fantastic. Floor plan was easy and comfortable. Needed pet friendly and that was great... however found out early the morning we left, dogs aren't allowed on the beach. Nice place. Would recommend.

There were some issues with activating the door code but they were resolved pretty quickly. The house was nice but needs a little bit of remodeling. However the view from the house was breathtaking. We will definitely come back.

The house is nice and right on the beach. The owner is thoughtful to provide everything needed for a stay at the beach including beach toys that our children enjoyed. The beds were clean and very comfortable. Overall, a great beach experience.

What a great review! We're so glad your little ones enjoyed the beach toys. We would love to host your family again! Until next time! 🌞😎🌊

Good location, felt like own private beach, great walking out from unit into the sandy path thru sea oat pathway to beach! Great calming view! Nice decoration of unit, but needs a refining touch. Doors were off the closets and laundry closet. Distracting from the nicely decorated unit!

This was a great place to stay. Loved the location being away from all the congestion of PCB and not having to worry about getting a great spot on the beach. It was spacious, clean, and had everything you could need or want. The only downfall was the parking. When it fits 12, but only get one parking spot, it is a fight to find an additional parking spot for other vehicles in your group. They list out public parking lots, but they are all 9 miles and over a 20min drive to get to them, so if the other vehicles in your group are lucky enough to get one of the few extra spaces, make sure they stay there and only go out and about in the vehicle that is in the space specifically for this condo.

The very best location we've stayed at in 40 years of beach visits. The property was excellent, but could use a few minor improvements and some pre-checkin attention (pillows were disappointing, light bulbs out, batteries missing from tv remotes). Very minor issues in an overall wonderful visit.
