Admittedly with some reservations we booked a 3 day long weekend through VRBO at the Harbour Beach Resort. We had seen mixed reviews but also noted that many were from Westgate owners who were use to elegant properties such as found in the Orlando/Disney area and were disappointed by comparison. Most of the units in this complex are privately owned so reviews will be proportional to how well the unit is appointed and maintained. The building and amenities themselves are exceptionally nice with a fantastic, extra large heated pool (that is heated to 83 degrees) as well as a extra large hot tub that I was told is heated to 105 degrees.(I can believe it as it was fantastic) In addition there is a well equipped spa. I was able to access their WiFi from the 6th floor. I was told that as of Nov 2011 their WiFi access will be upgraded to give access to all floors within the building. Cable TV was very good as well. We stayed in a 6th floor, 1 bedroom unit with a direct ocean front balcony. It was very spacious. The views were fantastic. Right next door is a FREE water park and play ground for the kids along with bathroom facilities. We were only a short walk to the center of the DB action as well as pier. We were so pleased with our accommodations and happy that we did not let some negative reviews scare us away. Just be sure to read the individual reviews for the units you have an interest in on their VRBO listing. Look at the pictures and possibly question the owners to insure you feel confident the unit will be up to your expectations and meet your needs. The Harbour Beach complex has recently been completely remolded and is exceptionally nice. We also found it very secure and the staff very giving of their time and information should you need help or questions answered. Not a 5 star but a clean and very nice place to enjoy the ocean front as well as amenities at a reasonable price for the budget minded.
