  We had a fantastic stay in unit 092. We spent 3 nights here and couldn't have been happier. The unit itself is great and was exactly as described. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook and all the appliances worked well. The view of the beach is unbeatable and the proximity to the beach is perfect. We would definitely recommend this unit and hope to stay again in the future.

  Beautiful views, as always, although the AC Was not working at 77°, maint. had to be called for Freon work, etc. Condo was clean, although needs updating, New couch, carpet removal from bedroom and new stove and microwave would be great. Overall, stay was very nice, also, fresh paint would be a great update too! We do love Palm Bay and will return! ��🐚🐬😎

  a guest from Milford, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  We really enjoyed our stay in 092. 092 faces the gulf so we could enjoy the sound of the surf. The kitchen was well equipped for us, which we ate dinner in the condo everyday.
  
  As so many others have stated in their reviews, the couch is quite uncomfortable. Also the bar height chairs on the patio are not comfortable for long periods of time.
  
  I appreciated the security keeping others (who were not staying there) off the Palm Bay Beach Front. It was Spring Break and quite busy, so limiting the access to the beach front was helpful.
  
  The property was very well maintained.
  
  Overall, we really enjoyed the condo.

  Helen P from Naples, Florida recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at the Palm Bay Club at least five times. Each time is more enjoyable than the last time. The weather was perfect, and the gulf water was crystal clear and absolutely stunning.
  This is the 2nd time staying in unit 092. My complaint is the same as last year. The sofa is just plain awful. It is so uncomfortable to sit on. No matter how we tried to get comfortable we just could not tolerate it. Therefore, we opted to rent a different unit next year. My husband and I are very quiet people. We do not go out partying into the night. We stay at the beach all day and in the evening after dinner out we go back to the condo to relax with a cocktail and watch the sunset. Not being able to get comfortable was certainly an issue for us. I would suggest the owners consider replacing it with a smaller sofa and two comfortable chairs.
  See you next year same time!

  • Manager Responded on 5/26/2023

    Hello Helen, thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback and will certainly pass your suggestion on to the owner regarding the sofa. I see that you booked next year and you will absolutely love it!

  Upon arrival, the check in was very simple and the staff was very informative and friendly. The Tower we was staying in was being renovated. However, this did not affect our stay. While interacting with some of the workers even they were friendly. Our Condo was ocean front and had a AWESOME view. The room was very spacious and clean. The room was exactly how it was described. I would definitely recommend staying in this condo. If I ever travel back, I will try to book this same condo.

  Julie C from Andover, MN recommends this vacation rental

  We have been coming to Palm Bay Club since 1998 for vacations. We have stayed in unit 92 several times, and it is our favorite! Although we love that unit, we do have some simple fixes to improve the stay. The coffee maker is very old and was getting wet underneath and shorting out, and the carafe itself was cracked. There is a Keurig, but we prefer brewed coffee. Also, the screw that holds the shower fixture in place was rusted off so the fixture was not secured and kept moving out of place. Another suggestion would be investment in some quality pillows. We did mention the coffee machine and shower issue to the front desk, so the owners may have taken care of the issues by now. The elevator not working at times, has been an ongoing problem for yrs, but is basically just an annoyance. Also the carpet and artwork in the common areas on the floors are extremely old/outdated (same since at least the 90’s) but not a deal breaker, as the units are generally modernized. In general, our stay was great and we love unit 92 and Palm Bay Cub is always our preference!

  • Manager Responded on 4/11/2022

    Hi Julie, thanks for the review. We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. You'll be happy to know that our common areas will be getting updated later this year with all new paint and decor. and the issues that were reported in the unit were fixed promptly. We'll see you again on your next trip, and we hope you have a good day.

  Sallie G from Chesterfield, Virginia recommends this vacation rental

  This was our third year spending Christmas week in Siesta Key at the Palm Bay Resort and our second year in unit 92. We love the unit overall with a few exceptions. The bed is like a rock, I understand you can't please everyone with bed types but it caused major back pain for my husband and myself all week. A topper should be offered for those who prefer a softer sleep. The only other complaint is the couch is pretty hard as well. Typically we do not spend a lot of time sitting on the couch watching tv so it is not a major deal. The bed on the other hand is. Everything else about the condo is great.

  This room has a special place in our hearts. This is the room my hubby booked 10 years ago (11 years ago this October) for our wedding night (got married on Siesta Key Beach) and a few nights after, and it’s just as we remembered. The views are amazing from this room more I got, noon & night. I’m so glad we were finally able to book this room for a few nights agin. The room is clean and modern. If I had to make a complaint, the only thing I would say is that bed was too hard for our liking, but definitely NOT something to pass up this room for. The views make up for it. I hope to be back for a visit in the room before another 10 years passes by.

  The condo was very nice and clean! Kitchen is small but there were only two of us. It was well equipped with dishes, skillets etc. Loved the big windows and the view of the beach! Bedroom was very spacious and the bathroom very nice, but again small. It does have an indoor patio where you can open the windows but no outside balcony. That was my only disappointment quite honestly, that it didn't have an outdoor balcony, but then none of the condos at this location had one. I loved the location and the beach was fantastic. There are beach chairs available each day as long as you get them early. I would definitely stay again!

  romeo m from new carilis, OH recommends this vacation rental

  we truly loved our stay at the Palm Bay Towers, Apt was perfect, clean, well decorated comfortable, getting up each morning and having coffee overlook the Gulf was grand.
