Have had much better past properties
The place was dirty: floor, furniture, bath rugs, floor boards. Also microwave was rusted and unusable. The toaster oven only worked on broil. The AC filter was filthy. We couldn't open the sliding glass doors. Rental office responded on filter and glass doors but awaiting decision about housekeeping reimbursement.

Over-priced vacation rental
The condo was great for the two of us and situated in a great location. It met our needs for a quiet and peaceful vacation. However, the quoted price per night became more than double amounting to over $400/night. Therefore this is the first and last time we will use Vrbo. We will definitely recommend the property but not Vrbo.

Nice condo on the beach!
The apartment is on the 2nd floor with great views of the beach and has reasonable amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped and has new appliances. Overall the unit is well maintained inside. The balcony needs some renovation/maintenance though (e.g. rust, torn screens, rusty chairs, hard to open sliding doors, etc.). The condo complex is located next to a 10-story hotel, so the beach may get too crowded during the summer season. The response time from the property managers was slow. The check-in and check-out times were not convenient/flexible, we would have preferred 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out. No soap, shampoo, detergents, or paper products are provided, so you have to bring our own, that was surprising given the daily rate. Pillows were not comfortable, luckily we had brought our own. Despite charging cleaning and service fees, the tenants are expected to put away all dishes, collect all the linen, pillow cases, and towels, empty out all the trash bins, and empty out the ice bin i.e. too much work given the fees charged and the early check-out time of 10:00 AM. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and the apartment was nice and comfortable.

LOVE RETURNING TO "MY" CONDO
Returning to C-23 for 20 years, I always refer to it as "My" condo and has been my favorite place on earth. It is right next to the elevator but unfortunately, I now need "handicapped friendly" bathroom facilities so this will be my last visit I will have memories of perfect sunsets, quiet time reading on the deck then ocean sounds to put me to sleep at night. The renovated kitchen and floors are beautiful but C-23 furnishing no show their age along with me.

The condo was beautiful and the views breathtaking. Had a little glitch when we first got there, as the floors of the condo do not make sense and we went to the wrong floor. Called realtor and emergency person got back to me in less than 30 minutes. Only minor glitches were the patio door in the living room stuck and did not open or close properly and the ice machine on the fridge did not work. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated.

Nice vacation experience but some blemishes
Booking through VRBO was seamless but I was perturbed by the fee structure. The unit was advertised at $185/night, but with added fees for things like linens (!), cleaning, "reservation fee" (in addition to VRBO's fee), and "damage insurance", the REAL cost was more like $260/night! I think this is deceptive advertising, and suggest that "Linens" be included in the rental cost for stays of 3 nights or longer. I almost cancelled the reservation but didn't have time to find another booking.<br/><br/>The unit itself was very pleasant, with great views of the ocean, but when we checked in there were dirty linens on the laundry room floor in front of the dryer. So much for that pricey linen fee service! We just threw them in the wash, folded them, and left them on the shelf.<br/><br/>Otherwise, a nice experience. The property managers at Gruber were very pleasant and helpful folks, their fees notwithstanding.

Nice getaway at the beach
The unit was ocean front and provided easy access to the beach. The interior of the Unit was Awesome. It was nicely decorated, kitchen was well stocked and provided essentials needed to cook a nice meal. The View from this ocean front condo Could have been perfect as far as potential ocean front views; however; the outside of the condo was in DESPERATE need of attention. The screen on the beach front porch was ripped and torn and terribly dirty which totally ruined the nice view. Luckily there was also an open small deck as well where the view was better, although the screened door for access was in bad repair. A suggestion to have a couple high sitting viewing chairs to see over the rail would be nice...there was also siding missing from the wall of outside the unit itself. Overall Our visit was nice but we would not consider a revisit until the outside issues were repaired on these units.

when we tried to get into the condo it took a while the door locks did not open it was a struggle.even when a man came to fix something in the condo he said it was hard to get in also as I watched him struggle with the keys in the locks it got to a point the dead bolt was falling out and I couldn't use it. the the bathroom floor was dirty I mean dirty. the same bathromm when taking a shower the tub was filling up with water the drain was slow the toilet was the same not flushing. the condo was outdated <br/>the sliding doors were so difficult to open and close<br/>the screened porch was a mess 2 screens pushed out there was napkins and spoons in the corner the furniture was dirty. but the kicker was the white plastic furniture. it was so dirty you could not sit on it at all. I would love to see one of you go to the condo and sit in the white chair!!! when we called they sent people over to fix things but this is not what I want to see and interrupt my days 4 times what should have been taken care of before I rented it<br/>I own several properties myself and I would never rent anything that looked like this. I do understand you are at the beach and things happen but this should have all been taken care of before we stepped into the condo. we go to the beach 2 times a year for over 38 years and I never seen anything like this. I shouldn't have people working on the place as im there this should have been done before I rented doesn't anyone walk thru to see if it is ok or not in sure the napkins and spoons are still on the screened porch<br/>what a disgrace. <br/>as we looked thru the book from peoples comments and they said the tv in the main bedroom was old and the volume doesn't turn down I would thing the 1970's tv would be replaced,<br/>this just ruined my time at the beach and would never rent anything from you again

Breakers C23 Experience
We have stayed in the Beacons Reach condos frequently for over 25 years and in this unit several times. We love the location and beach privacy. This particular unit is getting "long in the tooth" inside and the exterior maintenance (doors for example) need to be replaced. Some minor convenience items were not available (measuring cups for example). On line photos are dated. We will ask more detailed questions about the rental units next time. Trust you will have that information. Parking limitations when you can get 3 cars in the space is annoying. C&G Staff were very attentive to our needs. We will continue of use C&G in the future. -- Would not use Willis for seafood. Like Amos Mosquitoes and Island Cafe (?). Crab Shack fried food oily, but other offerings good.

Great Location - Mildew Smell is a Distractor
The updates to the C-23 unit are obviously nice: new floors, counter tops, large appliances. Thoughtful decor.<br/>The overwhelming mildew odor from the master bedroom dresser was simply horrible. Would not put my clothes in there and lived out of suitcase for a week. Felt like summer camp. For the $$ rent, new pillows are needed - these were like sleeping on folded up tissue paper. For the $$ rent, the coffee maker, while sufficient, is undersized and really seems like something from thrift store. Don't mean to be ugly, but without feedback, others will likely find the same conditions and reach same conclusions. Mildew is the biggest thing.

Thank you for your review on The Breakers C23! We appreciate your feedback. After your checkout, we went to the condo to find out what was going on with the mildew odor from the master bedroom dresser. We did not notice any of that odor, so I'm not sure what that was, but we did wipe the drawers down with Clorox just to be sure. The owners purchased the pillows just before your stay. The coffee pot was also brand new and purchased in May. We apologize for these minor inconveniences and we hope to see you in the future.

Embarrassing 41rst Anniversary Getaway.
I surprised my wife with this trip. She was initially impressed with the condo. The AC went out the first night and was out until late afternoon the following day, while the service person repaired it. The rooms were clean and the amenities were satisfactory. We discovered dried blood on the bottom of the comforter the next day and then on the top sheet. We were informed by the Realtor that the linen charge would be reversed. I really thought there should have been some remuneration on the condo price for the broken AC, but it was not offered at check out. I realize things happen out of our control, but it was a real damper on our anniversary getaway.

I have stayed a variety of condos in Atlantic Beach over the last 20 years. FINALLY, we found one worthy of renting for a week. It was better than the photos. It was very clean, the design was fresh. A few suggestions - the sheets (provided by an outside company) were scratchy and uncomfortable. It is nice that they were included and the beds were made. There were plenty of towels for the week. The unit has a musty odor. I believe it is more the building’s problem and location but maybe if there was a humidifier or something it could reduce the odor.

We used to come to The Breakers every summer when the kids were little and had such great times with family and friends. It had been 20 years since we'd last stayed here and I was pleasantly surprised that the location was still beautiful and well maintained. Canon & Gruber provided great service and were prompt in responding to anything we needed, esplecially when we temporarily lost a key. We found our unit, C-23, to be beautifully decorated and thoughtfully furnished. It had been remodeled recently and we found it to be even prettier than the online photographs. We especially enjoyed eating our meals on the screened porch with a gorgeous oceanfront view. It was great to be here again after all the years away and we hope to be back next year to continue more wonderful memories of the beach.<br/>One suggestion for improvement: The mattresses were way too soft for us and we didn't sleep well. This was compounded by mattress pads that were very "plastic" and "crinkly". Any movement created a lot of noise, frequently keeping us awake. I feel that this is an issue that can easily be remedied should the owner so decide.
