Crescent Keyes 1204 - Oceanfront - Crescent Beach Section

Beautiful condo!

"Fantastic stay at Crescent Keys! The view from the 12th floor is amazing - full ocean view that you can see from all of the shared living areas and master bedroom of the condo. Huge balcony facing the ocean off the living room and master bedroom. Condo was very clean and had all the amenities - I particularly appreciate the washing machine for light packing. Very close to Barefoot Landing and other NMB attractions/ restaurants. I would stay there again in a heartbeat - wish I could go back now!"

SUPERIOR

"This is our second time staying in Unit 1204. We absolutely love the condo! The oceanfront is view is stunning! Every morning we would go on the balcony and watch the sunrise, while hearing the waves crashing below. The deck is huge and very safe. Ate breakfast and lunch most days on it. The bedrooms are very spacious. Each bedroom (3) is an ensuite which is very accommodating with having additional guests visiting. The master bedroom has its own exit to the balcony. It also has a huge walk-in closet convenient for hanging clothes and storing luggage. The 2nd bedroom and 3rd bedroom are equally stunning The living room is very comfortable with TV’s in each room! The dining room sits 6 with additional bar stools in the dining/kitchen area to accommodate additional people! It really came in handy for us! The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of pots/pans and dishes. Everything was immaculate and comfortable. Very Safe area with plenty of fun places to walk to. The outside area has a beach which was gorgeous. An indoor and outdoor pool, workout facility and 2 Lazy rivers. I cannot wait to book another stay in Unit 1204! It’s a great getaway! Thanks! "

LOVE THIS PLACE

"This place is amazing. The parking garage makes unpacking/packing/travel incredibly easy. Once you take the elevator up to your floor you are suddenly in a covered, but open, hallway which overlooks the lazy river on the 6th floor! Then go inside the condo and the first thing you see is the GORGEOUS view of the ocean right outside your back door! The condo itself has spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a giant master bedroom overlooking the water. The back balcony stretches across the entire width of the condo (doors in the family room and master) that not only give you incredible lighting and atmosphere but a fantastic breeze as well. Hanging out there is a blast. Just sit back and enjoy watching the para-sailors, boaters or my personal favorite, dog walkers out on the water and beach! Then once you are ready, just take a minute ride down the elevator and walk out directly to an outdoor (and indoor) swimming pool and 2nd lazy river! Keep going straight and you are on the beach! We didn't even have to pack lunches since we were so close! Any time we wanted something it was a quick trip up the elevator and we were back to fun! Plenty of shops, mini-golf, restaurants etc within either walking or short driving distance! I really cannot say enough about this place. We are even going back this May! "

Upgrade to Crescent Keyes - 1204

"Owners have installed new window treatments including room darkening drapery in both the master bedroom and great room. Earlier rentals had complained about the vertical blinds allowing sunlight in. In addition there are 4 flat screen TV's each with a DVD player and all 3 bathrooms have hair dryers. Overall - management keeps the common area in great shape. We look forward to our visits here and read the reviews of others who have stayed here. "

"The Condo we rented was perfect. It was clean and on the beach. The view from the balcony overlooking the ocean was gorgeous. We are definitely planning to return to enjoy more walks on the beach. "

"Overall a good property and beach access. The property had gym, pool, hot tub etc and walkable distance to beach with a good view of the ocean.

We were disappointed to know that we had to carry the toilet paper, paper towels and dish washer detergent. When you are staying for close to a week and spending money, you would like the supplies to be enough to last rather than expect guests to carry. Also, the utensils were not enough to cook and I found them quite skimpy. This led me to provide less stars."

"Enjoyed beautiful beachfront stay at Crescent Keys. Able to swim in ocean, large heated pool and relax in hot tub. Wonderful large balcony to taken in ocean views!"

"We loved your facility. The view was extounding. We had a few suggestions. We were unsure why three of the mattresses were really loud- it was like a crunching, squeaky sound...pretty loud and annoying. We also found that the floor was dirty. The only other thing we suggest is that you tell folks if they need hangers they should bring some. Thanks for the fun time and we will probably utilize your facilities again. "

"way too far north. unit ok but places we enjoy were all a long trek to get to. never again to that area"

"Great location. Clean property. Everything we needed for the week. "

"Whole process was easy with no problems. The condo was amazing. We will be coming again. Thank you!"

"Pros- Location. Condo was clean. Elevator was quick. Waking up to the sunrise every morning was a perfect way to start the day.
Cons- Going to the realty office to pick up the keys to check into the condo on a Sunday. The pools were cold. Bedrooms need updating- carpet stains and 1970's bedspread. Watch the dryer- doesn't seem to turn off and the lint trap looks like its been burned a few times.
I think it would be important to know that there is no kitchen cleaner, only one trash bag per receptacle. We did not rent a car so we relied on Uber to grocery shop, would have been nice to have warning that these supplies are needed. The 2 beach chairs provided were rusty and stained.
On our second day there a North Beach Realty representative came to check the locks without notifying us. He opened the door into the condo and seemed surprised to see us there. Then on the morning of checkout at 9:40am housekeeping entered without knocking. I reminded them check out was 10am. So on 2 occasions for men to enter into a condo rented by 3 women traveling alone is a huge issue for me.
"

"This rental was very clean and well kept. The view was spectacular. We had a full moon while we were there and from out vantage point on the 12th floor, it was a spectacular sight.
The kitchen was well furnished with pots, pans and utensils.
The one issue we had was that the sliding glass doors to the balcony were VERY hard to open. We called the service department at North Beach Realty and they sent someone out within a couple of hours. The doors are very heavy and they were going to have to be cleaned, oiled and adjusted. They told us that they would have to take care of that after our time at the complex because it was going to take some time and they did not know how much work would have to be done to get them corrected. I hope the next person that rents posts if the doors were fixed.
There were plenty of restaurants in the area. We enjoyed the show we went to, "Murder at the Cotton Club" at The Aster Theater. We also had a great time at "Broadway at the Beach". We attended a dueling piano performance at the The Crocodile Rock, which was lots of fun.
Overall we had a great experience."

"Overall was impressed for a family beach get-a-way. Beach access (and view of the ocean) was perfect, and lazy river and pool on the main floor were great. Pool on the 6th floor was out of commission. Near anything you may need or want (gas stations, grocery stories, quick stop places, tourist shops, and even several good parks). Our floors were dirty, so that was disappointing (meaning needed a good mopping) and the timer on the dryer didn't work - that's really our only complaint. "

"Rental was very nice, clean, and was part of an amazing vacation."

"Wonderful experience. This unit had many extras such as chair and sand buckets for the beach, hair dryers in the bathrooms, etc. that the pent house condo, that we also rented, did not have."

"Very good I would highly recommend "

"Highly recommend. The condo was clean and the view of the ocean was amazing. Easy beach access and plenty of room for a family of 6. Will definitely be staying here again."

"The location was great and the family had a wonderful time! The unit was very nice it just needed a few improvements. The furniture on the balcony was old and in need of repair or replacement and the glass door was difficult to operate even after a repair man adjusted it. Overall it was a nice place to stay. "

"Great from start to finish!"

"We had a great time and our rental experience was very good. We had never rented a condo before and the realty company was easy to work with and very friendly. We will definitely use this company again. We wish the lazy rivers and hot tubs would have been working, but it was a tremendous time for my family."

"Overall it was a much needed vacation and the rental was pretty good."

"We stayed here over the Thanksgiving holidays; Family of 6 including my mother and granddaughter. Loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Welcome pack of soap and shampoo were in each bath. Nicely furnished den and dining room. Looks better than pictures. We were able to make a complete Thanksgiving dinner in the nicely stocked kitchen.
Building felt secure with cameras and a key is required to enter building. Outdoor Pool area looks nice and we were able to take advantage of indoor pool. Plenty of parking available.
"

"Our family had a wonderful time staying here. It was quiet. The condo was secured from just anyone walking in. There was a couple of maintenance issues but nothing that couldn’t be fixed and nothing that made our stay uncomfortable. Loved the ocean view and the balcony was big and spacious with plenty of seating. The kids enjoyed the pools and lazy river even though the water was cold."

"Beds (Mattresses are worn—difficult to sleep on)
Fan in master bedroom makes noise
Hair dryer in double bed area makes terrible noise. Earlier occupants must have had issue to because found dryer unplugged

Overall very clean and spacious. "

"Everything was perfect on our family vacation "

"It was a get away to get back to what a family does. Relax and being in each other’s lives. This was a fantastic time to do just that at an enjoyable place to do it. Adults and children enjoyed the accommodations and easy access to the beach. "

"Victoria was very nice helpful!!!"

"The rental had everything we needed. Even brought more towels the first day without asking. It was ideal for kids with the pool and beach right there. If you want a fantastic, memorable Fourth of July the beach in front of the building or the balacony was the best,
The showers were a little cold but for most part very enjoyable stay"

"Overall the unit worked very well for our group of 6. Minor issues such as the Air Conditioner not working when we arrived (was quickly fixed), the patio light not working, skimpy bath towels and a need for a programmable coffee maker were the only issues we noted. As with our past experience, Victoria from North Beach Realty made everything work smoothly for us. Highly recommended."

"We had a great stay at the condo. We had two families with 5 kids and it worked perfect. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and utensils we needed for cooking meals there. The view from the balcony, with plenty of room to sit outside, was beautiful. Very easy access to the beach and it wasn't crowded. We loved the outdoor pool, lazy river, and the multiple hot tubs. The location is very central to eating, mini-golf, and great ice cream. Management was quick to respond to questions too. Would definitely stay here again!"

"Very good.."

"Property was meticulously maintained by a friendly crew responsible for all facets: housekeeping, repairs, landscaping, pool maintenance, grounds keeping and security."

"Have stayed at Cresent Keyes many times. The condo was good. Mattresses need replaced as are very bad. The slider windows have vertical blinds They had strips missing, would not close properly so bright sun early morning. Terrible! Need to replace with curtains with room darkening. The condo definitely needs a deep cleaning. Have updated electronics but needs some furniture upgrades in great room. Would rent again if above were addressed"

"Our unit was well located and had a beautiful beach view !
Phone system was a little unusual (ran through the TV cable box) but worked after I used a phone I had brought with me.
Unit was spacious and comfortable !!
Victoria and North Beach Realty were great to deal with and went out of their way to make us comfortable ."

"A great experience !! The unit and the management team , met and exceeded our needs . We had an issue with our door handle which the maintenance team handled very promptly and efficiently.
The unit and its location are top quality and in my 40+ years of visiting the Beach rank at the top of our experiences."

"Our condo at Crescent Keys met all our needs for the perfect vacation. Truly a home away from home! "

"The description on the website matches everything the condo offered. It was very clean and the views off the balcony were breathtaking! We will be back!!"

"Perfect "

"Our condo was nice and the views amazing! The kids loved the lazy river and pool. The beach and pool were so close it allowed us to go back and forth with ease. This was one of our favorite beach vacations.

The only negatives is the kitchen in our unit did not have dish towels so we were forced to use paper towels and bathroom linens. Also, the water for baths and showers would not always get hot or even warm. "

"We had a lovely time in mid April for 6 days. Every thing we needed was provided. Had plenty of linens and towels. Unit was very clean. Everything was in good shape. View was wonderful."

"the unit was beautiful ...... the view all day was spectacular ...well worth the money"

"the condo we rented could not have been better..clean, very large, well appointed .. dealing with norh beach could not have been better... the ladies where great"

"we have only been here for 1 mth. of our 3 mth. stay ........ so far , so great... the condo 3 bdrm/3 bath is perfect... everything about the unit , except for location is good...beach location is spectacular , but, not as close to shopping and restaurants as we would like.... we are surfside bch. people"

"Would stay again.Although it was only 2 days had no problems.Rooms were very clean everything we needed at our fingertips."

"The condo was alright besides being way over priced.
The big problem was with the advertising. It stated that the condo had "High Speed Internet". The condo does not have any internet access at all. After questioning the rental company about it they said the building had free open wifi. This was wrong also, it did not. We own a business and must be able to conduct business while away. Since we could not get online we had to pay an employee to do our work the whole time we were on vacation. I know this sounds good (no work while on vacation) but when you have to pay for overtime out of your own pocket its not so great.
I wish I could say the internet was the only problem but it wasn't. The essentials were overlooked. When we checked into the condo we noticed that all 3 bathrooms only had about a half roll of toilet paper. We figured there was more in a cabinet so we didn't think about it until we ran out. Of course there was no other toilet paper to be found anywhere in the condo. We had to go and buy our own. It doesn't stop there. We also found that we only had one trash bag for each trash can. We ended up having to go to walmart and buy our own toilet paper and trash bags. You would think for over $500 a night after bs fees and taxes that you would at least get the essentials. Even Motel 6 gives you extra toilet paper and for a fraction of the price.
We rent vacation condos, homes and cabins many times every year. We have never been so mislead and deprived of essentials as were here.
Overall we were very disappointed with the rental company and our stay. We would not recommend this rental to anyone. "
