Vistas on the Gulf by Liberte'

Good building, units are hit or miss. The building is clean , in a safe area, and well maintained. You will enjoy a pool, grill, jacuzzi, and plenty of seating. All floors have a balcony that overlooks the gulf on the entry side and a private balcony where views vary. The unit we usually rent wasn't available, so we chose until 511. I wouldn't stay in this unit again unless it was refurbished. The positives of the unit are that, since it is a front unit, you get extra windows. The master bedroom seems to be recently redone and has a new carpet. The paint is pretty and fresh, and there are lots of beachy touches. The con is that almost everything else needs to be replaced. Most of the appliances are outdated, and the kitchen items are old and not great. Cheap silverware, mismatched dishes, not a lot of variety to use. Not a lot of essentials (no cutting board or colander). The beds are in good condition, but all of the other furniture needs to be replaced. The hard furniture is painted white but chipping. The upholstery is stained. There are no beach towels and the beach chairs have seen better days. We will stay at Vistas again, but not this unit.

This is our 3rd year coming to Vistas. We splurged and got an ocean front, unit 501. It’s horribly decorated, doors won’t stay on the tracks, no dishrag or sink stopper for sink. Washer button needs replaced, toilet seat is mismatched, minimal to no kitchen utensils, and way outdated appliances. If we were paying a low amount of money, I get it, but we paid for a good unit and the owners did not deliver. The only saving grace was the management company who listened to our complaints. The owners need to sell to someone who wants to invest in this units potential.

Have been coming to Vistas for almost 10 years, they keep the grounds and the pool impeccable. Have stayed in many different units and lately in 503 which was owned by a lady who kept things up and very clean and while the unit was clean. The wear and dirt we saw on the furniture was really surprising and disappointing until we heard that it had been sold December last year. We actually put towels over the furniture so we felt better sitting on them. Clearly the new owners are not investing in the unit and the unit could really use some TLC! Shower in master not working properly, sheets were very itchy and rough, blinds missing pieces and not repaired. Bathroom plumbing needs cleaned, smelled. We will not be staying in this unit again, disappointing, the new owners need to be told it’s not okay to not maintain it. Quite sad because the old owners obviously had a lot of pride in their property and it showed. We will move on…

We were allocated apartment 511 on arrival. Smelt musty when we walked in & in need of a renovation!!! Twin beds were a sofa type wicker sofa & a trundle bed that pulled out from underneath in a very small room!! Rang the office & a lady did come straight away to see us. Explained that we weren't happy with what we had been allocated (she told us it is the most complained about apartment!!!) We moved to apartment 505 which was much better but same beds in spare room!! Really not suitabe for 2 adults. Very squeaky & not very stable!! Sofa bed mattress was terrible & could feel every spring. Blinds broken in the lounge.. Asked for these to be fixed & was done a couple of days later. Our friends were in 307 & it was a lovely. No complaints on that one. Allocated 2 parking spaces but as we were in a van we couldn't fit in them as they were under the building. One of the spaces was being used all week by someone from the office anyway. Not a problem but didn't appreciate having a notice put on our van saying we needed to move it as we were parked in a reserved space!! We only parked there as the trees were being cut as there was no where else for us to park!!! Maybe the office shouldn't park in a guests reserved space either!! ( they didn't know we would be in a van & were already parked there when we arrived) All things considered we had a lovely time & the views from the apartment were lovely & pool area were kept spotless & office were very helpful. I do think the twin bed description is very misleading on *********** & would book direct if I stayed again.

Locked out access back into parking/elevator area, was told guests can use the public beach access if they want to get in after 11 from the beach. Public beach access is not well lit and unwelcoming at night. Seems as if I’m a guest and paying approx 2k for a week stay, should be able to access the grounds at any time. Washer/dryer combo ruined several items of clothing.

Everything was perfect and relaxing. The property is well managed. The office has beach towels available with a refundable deposit. Just a few steps from the beach, that wasn’t too crowded. Super clean with easy access.
