Ocean Dreams - SBTC145

We were very pleased with this condo. The location next to the beach could not be beat, and there are many restaurants and shopping areas in a walkable distance.

We only had one nitpick, and that is that although there is a sofa bed, they apparently do not expect people to use it. There was no bedding for the sofa bed and the mattress appears to be about 30 years old. The middle it has worn down to be very thin and it’s not comfortable at all. We gave the master bedroom to our teenage son since the trip to California was to celebrate his graduation, so my husband and I used the pullout sofa while our daughters took the twin beds in the bedroom. We did not sleep well for seven nights.

So if you’re not planning on using the pullout sofa, you will have no issues. If you are, just be aware of that.

It did not prevent us from having a wonderful time and it was a beautiful location. I would think twice about renting there again if I have more than four people.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the condo, the beautiful beachside location, and the convenience of nearby dining and shopping. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the sofa bed, we will be passing this information along to the owners so they can review the mattress for future stays. We’re happy to hear the rest of your trip was wonderful, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Ocean dreams worked out great. We actually just concluded 4 extended stays here. Terrific location near the beach. Very nice heated pool which I used often. Condo functioned fine. And the awesome Stubbs team was first class as usual!!! Kudos to Kevin, Tyler and Jennifer.

The Stubbs team always goes well beyond necessary to make our visits to the area wonderful. Kevin, Tyler and Jennifer in particular do a fine job. The property is nice. Location superb. I'm a pool guy and the SBTC pool is very good.

Great property, except for problem with ant infestation, we had a great time, property's furnishings comfortable, lots of light and comfortable chairs for reading at night. Good heating system for cools nights. Close to elevator and close to stairs to walk to ocean views.

My family of four really enjoyed our time at this rental. Great location, very short walk down to the beach (requires walking down a steep staircase to access the beach, might be challenging for some, especially going back up). The beach was not crowded, there was even a water faucet/shower to rinse off at the top. Volleyball net close by, and there was a lifeguard on duty. It’s a public beach, with easy access for visitors to come visit you. Street parking was available for free. Our unit had 2 parking spaces in the garage. Complex felt really safe, you need a code to access the gate to enter by car, and when coming back from the beach.
This location is the “second row” from beach front.
The rental had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Each bathroom had towels, liquid hand soap, and mini bottles of shampoo/conditioner. Beach towels also provided. Kitchen fully stocked, does have a keurig.
We were able to borrow beach chairs, a beach umbrella, tennis rackets and balls from the rental company (Stubbs).
Stubbs was great to work with, especially Kevin who helped us when we locked ourselves out one day by accident. This unit uses regular keys to get in vs a keypad. Pictures are pretty accurate in the description. The bathrooms were a little bit smaller than I thought, but it worked fine for my family.
Lots of restaurants within walking distance.
Only 2 things I would recommend, get a better vacuum for the renters to use, one in the unit didn’t work well, and it caused a strong scent after using it. I ended up just using the broom majority of the time, did like that the unit had a wet swifter broom/pads. The other suggestion, if the master bedroom furniture ends up being switched out, is to change the fabric headboard to something else.
We would not hesitate to stay here again.

The representative at Stubbs we’re very available for all my questions and concerns. The property was very well managed and well represented in photographs and design.
