We booked our condo vacation with Virgin Atlantic holidays and as usual the flights , car hire at Tampa were excellent. The apartment itself although clean and tidy did need a make over as it was tired and in need of some attention. The furniture was comfortable and the bed in the main bedroom was huge and comfortable. The second bedroom was dated and sparse , needed a complete repaint. The main shower was clean but again needed a make over. The second bathroom was not in a good state. The bath around the waste drain was discoloured, no plug so if you had small children they could not bath. The mastic around the bath was discoloured and peeling in places. The sealing around the bath and the floor was peeling away along with the paint on the skirting board. Overall it was not in a good state of decoration. I would have expected more from such a reputable travel company. The location was excellent and all the beaches and eating places were only a very short drive away. The pool area is a good size but there needs to be far more sun umbrellas. It was not at all busy while we were there but I expect in busy times you could not get out of the sun. Overall a great location, great area but letdown somewhat by the apartment. We have booked to stay here again next year but booked privately as we could then see our accommodation beforehand.

The lady that patrols the pool the last 3 years is extremely rude to everyone. She pointed out to our guest that was eating a cracker and cheese to not have food at the table, the sign says no food or drinks on the "wet deck". The wet deck is not the patio or the table. The signage needs to be changed if you do not want food or drinks in the… Read more

She pointed out to our guest that was eating a cracker and cheese to not have food at the table, the sign says no food or drinks on the "wet deck". The wet deck is not the patio or the table. The signage needs to be changed if you do not want food or drinks in the fenced in area ( which is the silliest thing I have ever heard of) Mostly her approach is so unprofessional. Read less

This is our 5th time at Shorewalk for Feb and March. We love our condo but we rent through private owner. The units rented out through Shorewalk really need updates. In addition they won’t tell you which unit you have until you arrive. The biggest disappointment is poor maintenance of pools. Last year the big hot tub wasn’t working. This year same… Read more
This is our 5th time at Shorewalk for Feb and March. We love our condo but we rent through private owner. The units rented out through Shorewalk really need updates. In addition they won’t tell you which unit you have until you arrive. The biggest disappointment is poor maintenance of pools. Last year the big hot tub wasn’t working. This year same thing. It worked first week in February it has been down now for over a month. Water heats up but no aeration. They need to get better electricians!!! Read less

Been coming to shore walk for many years, just feels like home. The apartments are the same layout just styled differently. I'm surprised I wasn't part mermaid by the end of the holiday from spending alot of time in the pool or the sea! Lots of shops and restaurants nearby.

This place is dated. Not pleasing to look at. Management is terrible. If you’re coming with a family, be prepared for 0 fun. Amenities were almost none existent except for the pool.

This place is dated. Not pleasing to look at. Management is terrible. If you’re coming with a family, be prepared for 0 fun. Amenities were almost none existent except for the pool. Speaking of pool, they have 2 large pools, which you would think would be great for kids. Wrong. No toys, not jumping or any thing allowed in the pool. I can understand no diving. That’s a given, but jumping? That’s absurd. So just get in the water with your kids and stand. That’s all that’s allowed. Not a great place for families. Read less
