PLATINUM LEVEL PENTHOUSE SERIES OCEAN REEF GULF FRONT CONDO.

The condo was absolutely beautifully decorated and furnished perfectly with everything we needed. There were some issues upon arrival that we noticed needed attention, I.e. the lamp next to the couch (the only reading lamp) had a short in the cord and was non-functional, the towel rack in the first master bath had been partially pulled out of the wall and was non-functional or it would have pulled completely out of the wall, the under sink cabinet in the second master bath was hanging by one hinge and would not close properly (which my step father proceeded to fix on his own so it wouldn't fall off completely), the ceiling fan light in one of the front bedrooms did not have a functional light in it and the room was very dark without it and after my step father climbed up and took the fan light kit apart found the base of a light bulb was stuck in the light socket which he removed and replaced with a new bulb he purchased from Walmart. There were serious scratches in the paint turning the corner from the entrance into the kitchen. We found out after a call to the resident manager that the indoor pool area is only open while the maintenance crew is working because there is no security on the premises and there had been homeless people sleeping in the pool area. There was no electronic keypad for the residents to use the pool if it was locked and it was not heated, just indoors. My stepfather's truck was also vandalized and all of his and my mothers Christmas gifts were stolen the night before we left and a call to the resident manager to request video of the nights parking garage activities were met with less than a helpful response just that there is only video on the first floor parking even though we could see a camera on the up-ramp. Video from the up ramp would have given us a tag number for someone coming and going within a short period of time that night between midnight and 8am. We were just told to call the police and report it and that it happens all the time. The condo is located in an isolated area of the strip, everything around it is closed down and you must drive to wherever you want to go. Maybe it's better during the summer for activities that may be closed during the winter, but still isolated. Very nice accommodations in the actual unit but the building and property have security issues. Next year we will book closer to Pier Park and the populated areas of the beach, this building was almost completely empty.
