Avis Vibrant, waterfront retreat with WiFi, balcony & dock access

Great place

I rented this condo for 4 nights. This stay wasn’t the best. It wasn’t the worst either. The condo is a privately owned unit in the Skipjack Resort and Marina. It was easy to find and the parking is ample. The communication leading up to the check in was great. When we arrived we found it clean and nicely appointed. Guests can use the Skipjack resort facilities, so access to the pool was perfect. They also have a restaurant with a limited menu and a tiki bar by the pool on site. When we arrived we discovered the air conditioning in the bedroom wasn’t working. I was offered a “temporary” solution for that night which I ended up being the only AC solution we got. The bedroom would not cool down, which made sleeping impossible. We also discovered the toilet didn’t flush properly. I brought this to the attention of the property manager and was told this was a know problem. The property manager did process a refund for the AC issue, which I appreciate. We ended up checking out a night early. I was told a refund would be issued for that unused night, but I haven’t seen that go through. If I knew then what I know now, I would have booked directly with the Skipjack Resort and skipped this privately owned condo.

We saw manatees in the inlet, swam the pool morning and evening, and drove just a few minutes to Sombrero beach. We liked the attached Greek restaurant and boaters bar down the dock a bit.

4th floor - no elevator

We appreciated the access to the amenities of the resort including nightly music, complimentary breakfast, the pool and evening restaurant.

The back section of the property was under construction repair. The elevator was out of order. Had to use the stairs which we didn't mind but if we were older it could have been a problem considering we were on the top floor (4th). Our unit was nice.
