Continental Condominiums by Southern Vacation Rentals II

As the airplane landed I received a text that i did not have early check in. I had already been charged for early check in and late check out. I called, frustrated, our plane landed at 9:30 am and regular check in wasn’t until 4pm. We were able to check in at 1. Arrived a little after 1 and the code provided didn’t work. Had to call again. Once inside realized not only could we access the connecting condo, there was no way to lock our front door from the inside or a safe. We came back a day into our stay to find the doors open. On the last full day of our stay a random person walked in right after I got out of the shower… i should also add the bathroom doors don’t stay closed either. The woman that accessed the condo while my children were sleeping said she didn’t know it was occupied. Please note the condo next door was never locked!! Our flights were delayed on xmas eve and we had to catch an earlier flight home. I no longer needed late check out. I let southern vacations know we did not need late check out and asked to be credited, we would be out of the room. Would you believe they could not credit you back? We were there during the off season. I can’t imagine if things were busier.

Very short walk from the room to the beach. Close to Walmart/Target and some restaurants. Kinda a small room for a family but it works. Nice charcoal grills. The community laundry is usually occupied, so bring plenty of clothes

Room 318, DO NOT BOOK, outdated, filthy and smelly! 10 day trip, we didn't get a change of sheets or towels! Maintenance entered our room without our permission, we didn't even get a courtesy phone call that access to our room was needed! Southern Vacation company that's managing the property is not in the hospitality business, there was a "starter package" in the room, aka flimsy roll of TP and paper towel, after that you're on your own. Pictures on website are deceiving, if you're lucky enough to stay in an updated room you will have a pleasant stay, as the area and beach is nice, but we didn't, very disapointed!

Great location, many restaurants and some attractions at short walking distance, beautiful beach view.

Location was great. Property grounds were clean. Room decor was a little dated but not too bad. Room itself was NOT clean. First thing we did was sweep and mop and clean bathroom counters. Info provided on ********** was very inaccurate. Check-in was later than advertised, Check-out was earlier than stated. You will receive around 6 emails from the property with all kinds of codes, rules and instructions that must be done prior to arrival. I would have just cancelled and booked another room but you don't find out about the changes until you book and my booking was non-refundable. You cannot check in without completing even if someone is at the front desk. Make notes of all rules and codes because once on property, WiFi was VERY sporadic and because it kept trying to connect my data had trouble kicking in. I personally reinstalled the shower door in my unit 3 times since it came off the track almost every time you opened or closed. Check-out instructions said to start dishwasher before leaving.. there was no dishwasher.

We always stay at CC, it’s always clean and just an enjoyable experience!

Beach access, drinks at Flippers bar, hassle free

I made reservations about 6-7 prior to my stay. A few days before I left, they switched the room on me, after the contract was signed. I almost didn't go, as did not like the new room, but the Manager got things back on track with a similar room. Focusing just on the place itself, it's in a great location. They have great carts to move all your stuff to your room in; one trip. Great views. I found the place to be clean and well kept. Like most places in FLA, things get dated, but that's part of the FLA experience...not looking for an ultra-modern corporate experience. I'm not going to pick on the place, because overall it a decent stay. I might have gotten a better value had I waited closer to my intended stayover dates, as the PCB ***** is very closed down and it can get rather cold at the end of Nov and Dec. My AC unit was noisy enough to block out the sound of the ocean. And whilst it sounded like someone was doing early morning maintenance one morning, I got the early wake-up call with constant boom-walks back-n-forth...maybe a bit too early for that? Regardless, the place was OK. Nuff said.

this is an OK property in a pretty good location with great views. definitely in dire need of updating though. Not sure I understand why it is so expensive compared to other similar places
