“Nice quiet place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The Ocean Villas are in a good area, not in the noisy busy part but close enough, you can see the area where Pineapple Willy's and other areas of interest are from this condo unit, Coyote Ugly close enough to walk. We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit on the 23rd floor. These units are very nice and clean with the biggest balcony I have ever had on vacation. Nice outside patio furniture and hangover so nothing gets wet and you can be out there in the rain. Comfy beds, more than enough storage, mops, brooms, spices, dishes. Everything was furnished better than most. Nice pool with barbeque grills Beautifully decorated and quiet.

The down side, it was a hassle to check in as there is no on premises check in, you have to go next door and if they are closed you have to drive down the beach in the busiest parts to check in at another unit. No umbrellas or shade at the pool area, no tiki
hut with drinks, never knew how or where to change towels so we washed them ourselves. Parking was ok usually but sometimes we had to park across the street which was ok since there is a bridge across.

The hardest part about Sterling Resorts is it is very hard to get 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom that has 2 beds in one of the rooms. We had 31yr old on, 24 yr old son and 18 yr old granddaughter so we need different bedding. They say sofa bed but it was not, however there was a mattress in a closet you could pull out. All of this was rather strange. If you are going to rent to families why not make one bedroon have 2 beds and a sofa bed. Be careful they do not guarantee any of this so if you take a lot of people they will probably have to sleep together.

“Not maintained well”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011
6
people found this review helpful

We just got back from Panama City Beach yesterday and we stayed at Ocean Villa. Let me start by saying that unit 1203 was decorated fabulous and its a very nice condo; however, upon arrival, we discovered that the dishes and toe nail clippings from the previous renters had not been removed. There was sand on the couch and the balcony was filthy. I do understand that these things happen, due to the busy summer season. Our biggest surprise was when, after a long day of travel, we pulled back the sheets on the beds. There were many black hairs and grass in the sheets. It was very obvious that the sheets had not been changed on any bed and the beds had only been made. We were up until 12 30 washing sheets and making beds.
The maintanence staff consisted of a young man sitting in a chair and texting all day. If you had a problem, you were on your own. We rented from Beachsiderentals and I contacted them with the problems. They tried their best to make it right and for that I am thankful; but no refund was offered for my 100 cleaning fee.
There is one positive: There was not an abundance of people here, so you were able to get to the beach and have plenty room.

“PCB condo not worth money--Unit 1901”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed in 1901 during 4th of July week. Very disappointed in Ocean Villas overall maintenance. Paint was chipping off on all the front doors and railings. There was no ventilation in any of the elevators in 95 degree heat!

We tried on several days to use the womens restroom near the pool, but they were filthy and disgusting! The drain at shower by pool was continously stopped up. Hard to get sand washed off when water is up over your ankles. This occurred every day during the week.

No umbrellas by the pool and only a few chaises. When we rented, were advised we could work out on 3rd floor. However, every time I went there, it was locked and lights were out. this was during day, not late at night.

Our condo was very nicely decorated. very clean other than food on our balcony from last renters and no broom to sweep it up. also no internet in the condo. No blinds or shades on windows, so sun wakes you up very early.

Overall, we were very disappointed in the building, especially for what we paid! Also had to pay extra for pool bands and parking! We are not paying nearly this much for a condo in Hawaii for over a week.

Cannot recommend this complex.

“Fabulous property and wonderful experience!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2011

The Ocean Villa was a phenomenal place! I loved my time there. Many mornings I watched dolphins frolic in the water below. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. White sugar sand and emerald green waters are enough to take me back again and again. The condo was beautifully decorated and quite roomy. I felt pampered. The grounds were well maintained, the pools clean and warm. I can't wait to share this place with my family in a couple of months.

Pier Park is the nearby shopping meca. Don't miss a trip there. So much for everyone to enjoy. I stayed for a few hours but could have spent the day there. When I go back this summer, I am looking forward to taking my family to Ripley's Believe It or Not and Wonder Works, both very close by.

In response to the previous post, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. There is nothing worse than having a vacation ruined by loud, obnoxious, rowdy neighbors. Spending any tiime during Spring Break weeks in Florida pretty much guarantees exposure to college age partiers. What I loved about this place is that they ensure your stay is not any less enjoyable than it would be any other time of the year. If you think you will stay there and party hard with your college drinking buddies, you might want to think again. They make no qualms about evicting inconsiderate, rude guests. I noticed signs in the elevator warning guests should they choose to become disrespectful of others. I appreciate knowing that there are high standards of behavior expected here. Its only common courtesy that one respect the rights and priviliges of others. However, I have been places where it was not enforced. I take comfort in knowing I can return in June with my family and that my children will not be exposed to situations I'd rather they not be. Such a great place!

Room Tip: 2103 was amazing! Fabulous view and upscale decor

“Horrible experience, stay away from this place at all costs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2011

We could tell from the moment that we walked in the staff did not want us there, despite our courtesy, respect, and compliance. We were evicted after two nights of stay for nothing- essentially, the manager is a money hungry jerk who will make up reasons to kick people out. We were falsely accused of being up late and noisy when we were not even on Ocean Villa property, for one. Let alone the manager said we failed to register within 24 hours when we actually had all checked in and he made copies of our drivers license.

The manager was extremely rude and accusatory and it is clear he does not respect his guests in the slightest. You couldn't pay me to go back. The best part is, he refuses to return any phone calls or e mails as we have been trying to get our damage deposit back.

Yes, it's a beautiful place, but it is not worth dealing with conceited individuals who simply want a power rush by evicting innocent individuals. Clearly, money is more important to this company than there guests enjoying a vacation. I'm sure after he evicted us, and failed to get us our money back despite the fact the police officer said we were entitled to it, that he had the next group of tenants all lined up to take our room. I mean, isn't it a little outrageous to evict 36 guests in less than two weeks (check the bulletins he posts in the elevator).

Don't waste your time or money here. We had a wonderful experience down the road at the holiday inn!
