The stairs were an issue for my father. That needs to be in bold in the listing. Also there is only one parking spot and I did not notice that. That was very inconvenient since my family was bringing two cars. The view was beautiful and check in was easy.
It was great. Wish the property had an elevator. Other than that the property was perfect. The ocean waves at night were great for my sleep. Beds were super comfortable.
The location was perfect!! It close to everything and everywhere we needed to be. It was quiet and the beach was right there. The bathrooms were small. I love that there was an exit in every room to the porch or balcony.

The view was everything, but the rest was subpar.
Not having a king size bed and no closet available for the master bedroom on the ocean was a bit disappointing. The view was spectacular. The tubs were stained and there was a pan and bowl soaking from the previous stay sitting on the counter when we arrived. We did live the option of having 3 bedrooms and the top floor was lovely. We didn’t have internet the entire last day but understood the mix up with the owner and the company. I would live to stay her again but sadly the queen master was just too small for my husband and I. Also it took the dryer 3 cycles to dry one load, I had to spend a lot of time on laundry. Fantastic location. Beautiful beach.
The view is stunning and we enjoyed every bit of that . The master bedroom size was big enough for me to put my baby’s pack and play by the side of the bed. However, the kitchen utensils and dishes were dirty. We tried to use the dish washer to wash the dishes and it didn’t clean it well. The pots and pans were old and had peeled coatings in there. The bath tubs and faucets are dated and could do with sone updates as well. There was broken furniture leaning against the wall on the deck that my kids could have fallen off on if we had not seen it. The deck carpet whilst I understand is hard to keep totally clean does not seemed to have been cleaned up in a while and my infant kept picking stuff off it and putting into her mouth. The rug in the living room has a loose strand that kept tripping my 1 year old. I called the management company to let them know of the uncleanliness and they said someone would sent over to clean but no one showed up during the 5 days we were there, the flooring and kitchen cabinets are updated, the beds are also ok and worked well for my family. We love that there was a pool that we saw being cleaned as our kids used the pool alot. In the last condo we stayed in there was an accident in the pool and when we reported it to the management company we never saw anyone come to clean it. Hence we never went back there!
Perfect location! It was nice and clean. Could use a few updates and it was disappointing that the washer and dryer were out of service but would definitely stay there again. We called the host and they were happy to replace our bath towels half way through our stay. They also recommended Pleasure Island Rentals for beach chairs/umbrellas and their service was outstanding!

Enjoyable and relaxing
Loved being right on the beach. Beautiful porch area! Place could use updates in bathrooms and kitchen but overall nice place to stay. Some communication issues between owner and realtor (owner didn’t know about booking and left items in the kitchen that made it appear unkempt but was quickly resolved).

We had a wonderful time at our rental. The view was amazing and just steps from the beach. The kitchen could have been stocked a little more but overall it was great. The 3 flights up were a little tiring especially with groceries and a 2 year old.

We had a few hiccups at the beginning getting the electronics and internet working, and then one maintenance issue - but in all cases, the realtor assisted very quickly. After all that, it was quite a pleasant stay and great location - pretty quiet and very family friendly :)

We enjoyed the location and all in all everything was fine. We did have an issue with parking as we ended up needing to take 2 vehicles for this trip. I understand completely that there is only 1 vehicle per unit allowed - even though the property was clearly not at capacity the week we stayed - however, when I called for a possible solution the rental company was "0" help and more or less told me - it was my problem to figure out. We had never stayed in this area before and had no clue what to do and they were very quick to offer NO help whatsoever. We figured it out but having at least a kind voice to help out when you first arrive at a new vacation spot - would have gone a LONG way!

We had a poor experience with this property, but Bryant heard our concerns and switched us to another unit. I can't recommend this property, but I can highly recommend this rental agency for their customer service.

Corner Penthouse is in a great location; you can walk to a few restaurants and it is within driving distance to many family friendly activities. The property is very clean and the view is perfect. The beach in front of the property is large and there are no signs of beach erosion. Thanks Corner Penthouse for such a great vacation!
