Vacation 2025 at Ocean Villa 1003

Review Date: September 29, 2025

Vacation Date: September 21, 2025

" We have stayed here before and mostly liked it.Its right on the beach on the 10th floor next to the elevator, which we liked. No noise, nice quiet was pretty much clean except for some sand on the countertops, not bad though. We did however notice some black mold in both showers. I got cleaner and sprayed it, that seemed to help. We chose to take care of it instead of calling Blue Swell to send someone. The furniture is clean and in good shape. We had lunch one day at Pineapple Willy's and dinner at Sharky's. Both are great places to eat. I would recommend this property to my friends and family members for a nice place to stay and I would/will come back to stay at Ocean Villa 1003. :)

"Had an excellent experience The condo looked just like the photos on the VRBO site. It was clean, well kept, fully furnished and spacious. The management team quickly responded when I texted with a few questions. The view from the condo was absolutely stunning from sun rise to sun set and the sound of the waves as you were falling asleep . . . . . The property is within walking distance to stores, restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, etc. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends and look forward to returning.

"Unit 1003

The condo was very pretty and well decorated. It was very clean. Had extra towels and extra bedding. The rooms were big. The bathrooms were even big. The patio was very comfortable and big. It was very easy for a person in a wheelchair to get around. The kitchen is very well stocked.

We had one issue with the dishwasher. When we reported they were there within the hour to fix it. The maintenance man fixed it very fast.

The downsides to the condo is.

The tubs are very slippery. 2 out of 3 people just about fell. We had to go buy shower mats just to stand up in them. Even with the shower mats, one out 3 people slipped.

The location of the condo was fantastic. Close to everything you will need.

"Second time staying at OV 1003. The unit has always been clean upon arrival. King bed is comfortable, great balcony furniture and plenty of kitchen amenities. Only thing the unit needs is an additional chair, preferably with an ottoman, in the living room. Blue Swell staff is always friendly, professional and accommodating. ��

"A very clean condo in an excellent location. The kitchen had plenty of plates, glassware, pots & pans, etc. King bed was firm, but comfortable and even had a memory foam topper in the closet if the bed was too firm. Queen bed was soft and creaky according to our overnight guests. Balcony had comfortable furniture. Only negative was the living room furniture. Sofa/hide-a-bed was just ok for sitting to watch tv or read and the only other piece of furniture was one chair. We had guests for a couple of nights and there was only place for 3 people to sit without bringing in a chair off the balcony or sitting in a high back chair from the table. The unit really needs another chair or even better a recliner.
