Lovely Place

The condo was nice, view was amazing, kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals. Our only complaint was the bed was not comfortable for us. We are used to a firm mattress but this one was very soft. And, the code provided for the fitness room was incorrect.

Stay at 875 Island Winds West

Loved unit and location…building was very well maintained. Perfect size for my husband and myself. Instructions on line were precise and easy to follow. Contacts with management was good. Everything was in unit we needed. Our only issue was perhaps bathroom floor was not as clean as it could have been and sink in bathroom/ kitchen appeared plugged and would think that would have been noticed when cleaning.

Great condo but too many fees

We usually stay at a different condo in this building but it was already booked. Opted for this one instead and it was very clean, no issues. I do have to note that there are way too many fees for this booking so we won’t be staying here in the future. Unlike the other condo we use, there’s a parking fee and a laundry fee (automatically added to booking fees). The service fees are also higher.
