We've been staying at Ocean Creek Resort for many years each summer, but this is the first time we booked it through VRBO or stayed in the North Tower. We primarily have stayed in the South Tower, which has certain benefits the NT does not - for example, it has an indoor pool and hot tub while ST does not.
Regardless, OC is an amazing location for a family and we have enjoyed it many times over the years. This condo is closer to the creek than the ocean, but the view off of the well-appointed balcony is similarly tremendous.
There is plenty of space inside the condo, along with three bathrooms, which came in handy for our family of five.
My only quibbles are the following. Mind you, these can be overlooked as the location of the condo and its layout will lead to a wonderful vacation, but in the interests of full disclosure, I'll list them:
- The shades leading to the balcony in both the master bedroom and living area are sticky and many of the slats have fallen off. We had to hang a towel on the one in the bedroom to keep the sunlight out in the morning. These should be replaced with something more durable.
- The inside doors and closet doors are of low quality and very thin. Can easily be overlooked, but one does notice them.
- The mattresses and pillows are low quality as well. Further, guests are only provided with one thin blanket or comforter per bed. You can go to Condo World and get extras, but it would've been nice if they were located on site.
Aside from these relatively minor issues, this is a wonderful condo at a wonderful resort at a wonderful location.
