It was an all right stay. until you have to stand in an unnecessary line waiting to get parking pass it needs to be a quicker way than that and unnecessary showing wristbands to guard when you have your parking permit in your windshield

Condos are very nice but could use a bit of extra care in cleaning thoroughly. Lots of conveniences located on the property and within close proximity. Resort is large so be prepared for a long wait at the elevators. Remote check in seemed to serve no purpose as I had to submit the information again upon arrival. Overall I would stay at this property again.

Our stay for the weekend

There was 0 response from property manager. After multiple emails sent, VRBO messages, etc., we never received one response. We tried adding an extra night to our booking and had to go to the welcome center in PCB to do so, and then it took over an hour for them to confirm with property manager if we could do so.

Rm 1903

We had a wonderful 4 night stay in room 1903!! Pros.. Beautiful view of both the gulf and the lake. Theres a gator that lives there. Washer and dryer in the room. Fridge has an ice dispenser on thr front. Convenient to everything! And we got to check in early!! Cons.. the walk from the parking garage to the room is really far!! If you are traveling w an elderly or disabled person, it might be a bit much for them. There was only 2 blankets in the whole room so bring yours! This is our 2nd time staying at The Wharf and we will be back!!

The condo itself was nice and clean. It was hard to figure out how to get to the room from the parking deck and there wasn’t anyone offering any help. Once we found the room, it was nice and cool, but at about 10pm something changed and the thermostat didn’t seem to work.

Dirty and rundown

This place has seen its better days. When it was originally built years ago, it was probably very nice, but it's in a state of disrepair and it doesn't look like there's any intention of maintaining it well. The elevators hardly work and when they do, they are extremely slow. The property feels dirty and unmaintained. It doesn't seem like the cleaning crew pays much attention. There were multiple light bulbs out in our unit with no one to call to replace them. The communication was terrible and we were supposed to receive a welcome packet/parking slip/and wrist bands to move freely around the property and they never came. This entire property is rundown and dirty. It's poorly managed and needs real attention to bring it back to what was once probably a nice facility.
