Avis Serene Oceanfront Condo with a Shared Pool, Ocean View, Free WiFi, & Partial AC!

Nice property and location. It had everything we needed. Suggest hooks for towels and wet bathing suits etc...as well as holder for shampoo and soap in back bathroom. Mattresses could be a little better as well. Regardless, we will be back :-)

A great time was had by all. Thank you.

The unit was not maintained very well. Most metal items had rust on them (Lamps/fridge/ tables etc) There were no door stops in place so when doors were opened door knobs punched holes in the drywall. Ceiling above shower in bathroom had a hole in it. There was dust on top of refrigerator & other areas Nothing that made the place unlivable but just not very well maintained

During my stay, the air conditioning in the front master bedrooms AC went out. Tried getting the room cooled by opening then front sliding door and by turning the AC on in the living room as an alternate figuring that one way or another we could get the room cool. Nothing worked. Host became non-responsive in the evening and did not send out anyone the day it was reported. No AC was running upon arrival and the whole apartment was hot. Host apologized and sent maintenance and AC repair people the next day but could not get it fixed. They did bring a fan that I made a request for which helped, When reaching out to VRBO customer service on the initial day, the representative acted as if I had spoke to him prior to my call and had a poor attitude. When asking to speak to a supervisor he said he could request a call back in the next 24 hours or we could start the conversation over. He then said after reviewing the photos I provided that we would have to change to a hotel at 11:30 at night and transferred me to what was supposedly the emergency booking service but no one answered and I got disconnected. The location is great for privacy and had the AC worked the stay would have been great. I appreciate the property groups attempt to make right by crediting me $24.90 but honestly an uncomfortable night of tossing and turning due to feeling, hot, sweaty, and gross isn’t worth it.

The property was exactly as advertised and very comfortable. The best part of the experience was Ana the online concierge. She was so helpful with answering every question I had very promptly from the time we arrived at the airport. She arranged our snorkeling tours and suggested restaurants and all at no charge to us. The most disappointing part was the Caye itself and the area around the condo. The latter was a mosquito infested swamp. We were unable to snorkel from the pier or even swim because of the sea grass. Activities were very limited since we do not enjoy hanging out at bars all day. I would not go back.

We loved our time on the island, and this condo was clean, comfortable, and had a gorgeous view. We were so enamored, we began thinking about when we could return and how long we could stay next time. Some details: Pros: The view. It’s just paradise, sand and palm trees and the turquoise water as far as the eye can see. The pool: comfortable temperature, just a couple feet in front of the building, right on the beach, lovely. The dock and gazebo on the end of the dock: so charming and pretty, lit at night. There are kayaks available, and the water in front of the condo was calm and shallow. Plenty of parking for our golf cart. The apartment was clean and well furnished. They provided bedding, towels, soap, detergent, washer/dryer right in the condo, pots, pans, plates, bowls, cups, utensils, and a 5 gallon container of drinking water. We cooked for ourselves several times during our stay. We had several tv channels and internet access (although the internet was a little spotty at times). The AC worked very well and was very appreciated at certain times of the day. We absolutely loved sitting on the balcony, reading books, eating lunch, looking out at the water, and watching frigatebirds, kiskadees, pelicans, flycatchers, and more - so many beautiful birds! We had plenty of space (2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a kitchen/open living area) - more than enough for the two of us staying here. It was quiet, felt very safe, and the other occupants of the 12 unit building were friendly and pleasant. Cons: We didn’t mind this, but you might want to be aware that getting in and out of town takes a while - about a half hour by golf cart, along a very bumpy road. We were also a bit surprised at the amount of litter on the island, including in the lot bordering our building to the north. The beach in front of the condo is raked and cleaned daily, so our spot was lovely. But just be aware that the island is not pristine. And finally, if you were hoping to swim in the ocean in front of the condo, you might want to reconsider - there’s quite a lot of sargassum and sea grass. We really enjoyed snorkeling out at Hol Chan and Mexico rocks, but didn’t swim in the ocean in front of our condo.

Property was very nice. Our unit has definitely been remodeled. We were very happy with the unit. The balcony was perfect! Great views. Quiet location away from the town. The unit could use more kitchen items (baking pans, glasses, cooking pans). A grill for use by all would make this ideal. There are a couple there, but they are for certain units. You can ask to use. Loved the beach/pier/pool. Internet is glitchy at times so just ask them to reset it. Once that was done it worked fine. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice modern two bed, two bath condo in a quiet area of Ambergris Caye. Good size living room, full kitchen & large balcony viewing the beach and waterfront.
