We are currently at the Place at the Beach. The grounds are beautiful—well maintained landscape, clean outdoor, indoor pool and hot tub and nice gameroom. Our room, however, is deplorable. My husband and I spent 5 hours cleaning and $30 in cleaning supplies. The carpets were dirty and stained. We found the vacuum cleaner-it was a bagless system full of dirt. We had to take it outside and hose it down before using it. The kitchen floors were sticky and dirty, food was stuck on the counter tops, and dirty dishes jammed in the cabinets. The bedrooms sheets were dirty and hairy. All the furniture and plastic plants had cakes of dust on them. The mini blinds are the old style which presents choking hazards—I had to throw the chords on top of the drapes to keep my 3 year old son safe. The bathrooms counters and floors were dirty and hairy, and the bathtubs had grimy rings in them. We were left with 4 holey towels. There was only one operating light bulb in each bedroom and bathroom. Trash and clutter was jammed into bedroom closets and the bar cabinets, including moldy coconuts, dirty dishes and old papers. Other miscelaneous items--rusty patio furniture, broken handles on dresser drawers, peeling wallpaper, and dirty stained walls. Last night, we found our first roach, so we are out of here! The name of the rental agencies is Beach Vacation Properties, and believe it or not, this is the owner’s personal condo! We called the second day we were here and they offered to return $75 in cleaning fees, but would not send any linens for another week. They also said they wouldn't clean until we vacated the premises.

we are a family of 6 with 3 children under 11. We absolutely love a place at the beach. Our room was directly above the pool and if my oldest grandson wanted to go to the pool, we could sit on our balcony and watch. The lifeguards were great. The room was ready and clean. A couple of years ago we had a
problem with the tv, and they were there within an hour. It is a great family facility.

We just spent the longest week ever at A Place at the Beach III. I know this is "off" season but I didn't think that meant the resort would be un-staffed. Ok, there was 1 person in the office 9-5 Mon-Fri. And she did let us move from the 1st floor room with the view of the parking lot to a room with a view of the swimming pool- still 1st floor. And she was very nice when we complained but no one ever tried to fix any of our complaints. Ocean? sure, it was just over the dunes and could be seen from the 3rd or 4th floor balcony. If the room had been clean it would have made evenings enjoyable. But we left early and returned late taking in all the sites of the area. There is lots to see, lots of shopping and lots of beaches if you have a car to get around. We certainly didn't want to spend any time in our room. Clean towels? take the dirty ones to the designated place at the designated time and day and exchange them for clean. Isn't that convenient? Renovation is scheduled but the place is so run down it really needs gutted and rebuilt. There is a wonderful wooden walkway to the beach.

My family just got back from a week stay with some friends of ours at A Place at the Beach.

Very family friendly. The beach is within a minute's walk. The pool/waterslide is great for everyone. Rooms are spacious.

We had brand new dishes and pots/pans in our room.

Front desk help wasn't the friendliest, but I understand a management change is underway.

We loved the area and the resort so much, we bought a week from the local time share realtor! We look forward to making memories with our family for years to come.
