Anastasia 613

Location and size

Not having paper products provided…. Roach in front bedroom next to front door.

The beach was the best part. I've been coming to this location (Anastasia Condos) for over 30 years. The bed was comfortable, but that didn't make up for all the inconveniences in the condo.

Upon our arrival, the unit initially appeared clean and well-maintained. However, we quickly began to notice a number of issues that have significantly impacted our stay — and frankly, we are extremely disappointed. To begin with, the refrigerator’s ice maker does not work and there is no water dispenser available, which is a basic expectation. We also discovered a crack in the glass wall of the living room, which is concerning. The balcony — one of the main reasons we chose this unit — is an outright disappointment. It appears unfinished: there is no transition strip where the tile meets the carpet, the ceiling is stained with multiple holes, and worst of all, we are not even allowed to open the balcony doors because the owners apparently do not want them opened. There is also NO furniture on the balcony to sit and enjoy the beach view. This is particularly frustrating, as enjoying the ocean breeze and view is typically one of the best parts of staying here. Additionally, there are several electrical outlets that are dangerously loose, cannot hold plugs, and even spark when in use — creating a serious safety hazard. This is unacceptable, especially considering my husband uses a CPAP machine at night; any power issue could directly threaten his health. The problems didn’t stop there. The door malfunctioned two days before our departure, resulting in my son getting locked inside the condo — an alarming situation that should never happen. The couch and pillows were stained, which is simply unclean. In the guest bedroom, there was no dresser and the closet was locked, leaving us nowhere to store clothes — again, basic amenities that should have been available. We also found there were very few cleaning supplies, and much of the cookware needed to be rewashed before use due to questionable cleanliness. To add insult to injury, there was only one TV in the entire condo — something we have never experienced before in over 30 years of visiting Anastasia.

DISAPPOINTED! The listing states there is a balcony- nope they have converted it to inside space without the ability to even open outside door or windows. They also say there are tvs in the bedrooms- nope, there’s 1 tv in the entire condo. The outlets were a bit sketchy; either whatever you plugged in would fall out or you could see a spark in the outlet. The bedroom with 2 beds has no dresser or closet access so the kids were just living out of their suitcases. Now the appliances were really nice and worked well, but that doesn’t make up for the false advertising about a balcony!!!!!

The location on the beach and near restaurants was great. The condo had almost everything we needed.

Two nitpicky things: We wish there was a broom to sweep the inevitable beach sand, and the second bedroom didn’t have a closet, dresser or anywhere to unpack clothes.

What a wonderful place to stay! definitely a jem.

Great stay overall. Only downside was that there was only one television in the rental.
