Me and my family (6 of us- 4 children, 7 and under) had a great experience renting this condo. Itâs right next to the Baytowne Wharf. You have access to walk right over to the area or you have two passes to use area bus that runs all over the area. There is a big great pool right outside the complex as well. You have access to the parking garage and there is additional parking just across the golf course hole that Runs right by the building. You will be emailed all your codes a few days before and we had no issues. This place served us well and would recommend to anyone with children to rent this property. We will look forward to the next time we visit. There is a lot to offer and you are a short drive from a Publix, movie theater, shopping, restaurants all around, ice cream shop, liquor store. You really donât have to leave the general area, has everything!
We've stayed at this resort/in this building before, but book through the hotel. This unit was great overall. My only "complaint" is that the pull-out sofa bed's mattress is not good. We've learned to travel with an air mattress for the kids, so we used that instead of the pull-out sofa.
Room was clean, everything worked. Take note, the noted "starter kit" of supplies (soaps, paper towels, TP, etc) is accurate - if you're there for more than a couple days, you'll need to get your own supplies. Also, in my experience, many VRBO rentals will leave behind cooking supplies from previous guests; things like spices, oils, etc. This unit had nothing beyond salt and pepper. Not a problem, but just plan accordingly.
The Baytown Resort was absolutely awesome. It was a mother / (2) daughters vacation. I wish I had known of this place when my daughters were a little younger. The condo was very clean and supplied as per emails. Very satisfied with the condo. The grounds were amazing to take walks and the Baytown shopping / eating / play was just a 10 minute walk from the condo. We enjoyed our stay very much
The unit was well designed and decorated, extremely clean and the kitchen was stocked to cook a gourmet meal! We will book again when we have the chance.
If you are thinking about renting from them, STOP and read this first. You will see many reviews from Condo Owners who have Forever Vacation Rentals (FVR) manage their condo. Those are 5-star reviews. You will see 1-star reviews from people who rented one. I would suggest that you read not only the review, but also the response to them from FVR. If you have no complaints, then FVR is very friendly. If you have a complaint, then the tone turns accusatory towards you, the customer. In general, their wording is deceptive in nature and you need to be concerned more about the fine print and what they are not telling you. Many emails and talking to them will not solve your issue. They are very good at the techniques of smoothing something over and deflection.
You will get a lot of emails from them â I suggest you read all of the fine print in each one. All the âcomplimentaryâ activities that they offer are for one person only. One person in your party gets a free activity when you purchase more tickets for your group/spouse at the same price the activity advertises on their website. You can get that in any coupon book. Also, those activities may or may not be near where you are going to be vacationing. They may or may not be available during your vacation period. It looks like a nice selling point on the website, but is merely a coupon book that you can pick up anywhere.
We have never had any rental agency give us one roll of toilet paper for the group for a week. Their response to me was that they did state that they were only giving us a âstarter kitâ â one trash bag, no dish soap, 2 dishwasher soap, 1 washcloth, etc. But toilet paper? Seriously?
Read everything carefully. Their wording is deceptive. The answers on their FAQs do not blatantly lie, but are simply worded in a way that is deceiving if you do not read slowly and carefully. Deceptive marketing techniquesâŠ
The company states that it is important to them to do the right thing and to have the opportunity to make something right before you write a review. The fact is that this is good advertising, but they do not follow through on it. Everything is turned back on you, the customer, and your failings. I have rented a lot of vacation condos over the years, and this is the first time I have run into a company like this one. This condo was rented through VRBO and we did not know there was a third party management company involved until we rented it. Condo was great!
