Our stay through our AirBnb was great. Loved the condo, loved the property, loved the host. But the one star review is for my interaction with the building manager Raymond. He had the hot tub shut down at 2pm due to a small shower and very distant lightning strike on our last day there. The rain lasted about an hour with no more lightning. After multiple hours of no rain or lightning (with sun shining) I got ahold of him directly to see when it would be reopened as we were planning our evening agenda around getting a little hot tub time in on our last night there and he seemed to be irritated and passive aggressive about the entire idea for some reason. I even sent him a screenshot of the hourly for the rest of the day showing great weather all evening. At this point he told me that as long as it looked good (which it did) that he would have the 6pm guy open it back up. We'll come 6 pm The weather looked even better with sun shining yet the hot tub was still closed. Come about 7, I checked again to no avail. The guy seemed like he was on some sort of weird power trip and I honestly think he chose to keep it closed out of spite after accusing me of "pressuring him" to reopen it!! Politely pleading the case for an amenity that we paid good money to use to be reopened in a moment that it clearly should be open would be a more accurate description. I wasn't hostile at all when talking to him which made the entire conversation even more perplexing (and laughable). I'm still chuckling about the passive aggressive tone when he accused me of pressuring him. It was a clear attempt for him to manipulate the conversation/situation. I think he was maybe angry at the start because someone on staff gave me his number so I could inquire after going to the main office prior and finding nobody there to talk to. Luckily another great staff member (the 6 o'clock guy) opened it up and saved our last evening there, while agreeing that there was absolutely no reason to keep it closed. He also informed me that Raymond never said anything to him about the hot tub as he told me he would, which again was laughable. What a silly situation. The whole situation had the feeling of him having the mindset he was doing the guests a favor by letting us stay in his building. Which is not how a guest should feel or be treated by the property manager. The owners and guests that we talked to all week were fantastic, but my interactions with Raymond tainted an otherwise wonderful trip and it wouldn't be very difficult to find a more friendly property manager with less of a chip on his solider. The whole situation was irrational. read more

We spent this week at PCB Tropic Winds and it was wonderful! The beach was nice and clean, not crowded at all (like the beach on each side of us was) we stayed on the 23rd floor it was nice quiet and had a great view of the beach! We saw lots of dolphins, stingrays, sea turtles and fish from balcony each day! Elevators were not super busy we barely had to ever wait on an elevator, pool area was clean, parking garage was clean, we have no complaints what so ever! Thanks for providing a safe and clean place for us to spend our family vacation! God bless you! read more

Great place has an amazing walk to the beach but the only problem is that the elevators are scolding hot and with the humidity it doesn't help but I highly recommend this place read more

Tropic Winds is a great condominium. Have stayed there two times now. Security on site, pool/hot tub are nice. Reserved parking space in the garage underneath is easily accessible from the elevators (which rarely keep you waiting long). Everyone there have either been friendly or just keep to themselves, had no problems. read more

First time staying at this location. It's a mixed condo of both pets and smoking. If it wasn't the stench of cigarette smoke on the balcony then it was the constant barking of dogs. Both made it horrible for a true get away vacation. There were even people out walking their dogs in the grassy area behind the condo. I say this about the pets/dogs because the owner made it sound as if it was a pet and smoke free building, not just our room. Our room/s were clean and decorated nicely however the lack of pretty much anything else made it difficult to stay an entire week. What good does it do to have a fully functioning kitchen but not have anything to cook in or better yet, not a sharp knife in either kitchen? Half a roll of toilet paper in two bathrooms. We did expect to purchase more but not the first day we arrived. Also, not a single blanket or throw. Bathroom towels, two per. A single black washcloth was provided for makeup removal but one contained a sandburr. Not so great on smoothing but a little harsh on the exfoliating side. Parking is HORRIBLE. We drive a full size pickup and our space was floor 4. Either way, the spaces are so tight there was no way of getting in them. Going up the ramp I had to pull up and then reverse on each level coming and going. Parking was provided across the street but it is also very tight. So tight that they make it VERY clear that if you are outside of the lines you WILL be towed. So how close are those lines once you're parked? Try one foot or less on either side of your vehicle! Same deal on getting in and out, very, tight squeeze from the cars across for you. As stated by another reviewer, chair rental takes up the entire beach area behind the condo. That being said, you can't put up a tent within the chaired area. Something against the HOA. This forces you to walk way out of the way of the condo if you want to put up a shade for you and your family. Of course you could always rent chairs and umbrellas (that should be included with your rent) that are so close to each other that you have no privacy all the while holding hands and playing footsie with a complete stranger. Unless you like that kinda thing. Oh, add that rent up if you have a party of four or as our condo/s had sleeping, 16. So what all did we have to purchase that we shouldn't have? A knife sharpener, muffin pan, bowls, cups and a skillet. There was also not eneough silverware for the number of guests that the condo stated it could sleep. We were constantly washing silverware because of that!! It should've never been advertised as being fully furnished. All of these complaints are very easily corrected however, it made a miserable first impression. read more

We love this complex. Have stayed here several times. Unit 905 is truly an escape from reality. Most units are 2 bed 2 bath and well accommodated. read more

We truly enjoyed our vacation to PCB and the fantastic condo we stayed in at Tropic Winds. It was very clean, family friendly and a perfect fit for us. We loved waking up to the walk out to our balcony overlooking the ocean. We saw tons of dolphins and fish. read more

We stayed in unit #502 for a week with 6 family members. Positives: The size of the balcony! Huge 6 person table, couch, 2 comfy chairs. The view! Parking underneath, no need to lug belongings across the street. Beachy but not tacky decorations. Current and tasteful. Storage/ laundry room right off entrance to dump Sandy stuff. Comfortable, roomy living room furniture. New bedroom carpet. Location. Near enough to shopping but not much traffic. Negatives: Pool was out of service due to repairs. Outdoor furniture needs to be replaced ( except dining table and chairs). Frames are rusty causing stains on clothes, cushions are dirty and flopping, outdoor rugs are worn thin and quite nasty. Fridge. Leaked first day, cracked bins, items never really felt cold. Overall a solid B average. Would stay again. read more

We stayed in room 602: a three room, three bathroom suite with a balcony from June 14-21. It was plenty spacious and the washer and dryer were included IN the room, which was a huge bonus for five people. The beds and pillows were super comfortable and there was a lot of storage. There is a dining table on the balcony with a beautiful view of the ocean and it's nice and quiet. The living room TV is a smart Tv, which means it has a 3D option, netflix, hulu, hboGo, etc. It also has DVR so you can come in at night and watch what you missed if you want. Bonus! The previous family left a bunch of sand toys/umbrellas/chairs in the utility closet! Maybe it's included in some rooms but I wouldn't count on it. Cons: a lot of the light bulbs were out (there were extras on the cabinet), one of the toilets out of three would not flush, the kitchen sink faucet wouldn't get hot, and when we got there the floor was absolutely filthy. We had to mop a couple times the first night so outer feet wouldn't turn black anymore. Some of the towels smelled sour, like someone left them in the washer for too long and didn't bother to rewash them. The parking garage is AWFULLY tiny and cramped; given we drove a large Ford SUV so parking anywhere is difficult. The ramps up and down are only built for one car one way so if another car is coming you have to back up so they can get through. read more

I stayed here for several months on a long-term rental. Nice unit - had been upgraded by the owners. Building itself looks like it needs some maintenance. I suppose most of the problem is the wear and tear of the spring break through summer season crowd. Tons of people, very crowded and look out for Saturdays as everyone is checking in and out. It takes forever to get an elevator. Beach is gorgeous, but they have a chair rental service that takes up the majority of the beach. Would I rent here again? probably not. They don't have the service like many other condo buildings offer. For the money that most owners charge, there are better places to spend your money. read more

Good for the money. Nice view and location. Like being not in the middle and more secluded. Building is a mix of dogs and smokers. Have ashes on balcony in morning from unit above me. Stayed in in unit 1906. Drain in bathroom sink and toaster in kitchen not working. Fridge dented and gasket coming off. Picture missing from wall. Parking is terrible. Spaces are very tight. read more

The whole surrounding on the place was kind of nice. There were a few things not up to par. The view is nice and so are the pool and spa. Our internet and cable did not work well at all but you are here to enjoy the beach so it wasn't a big deal. Within reach if so many things to do. read more

Beautiful condos just like previous reviews... Spacious and fully stocked. We reserved 2 condos conjoined... Very beautiful and perfect for 3 families! since we rented 2 condos we were given 4 chairs 2 umbrellas for our week stay My complaint, however, is about the beach chair reservations. From previous condos we've stayed in, it's always been first come, first serve... Because not everyone comes to the beach everyday. No one should be allowed to reserve for the entire week?! Is this even possible? We arrived Saturday evening so Sunday morning we went out and got 2 left side back chairs (since we were told no canopies were allowed up front) However, right after being told that, someone put one up right in front of everyone on the left side! Then the rude owner never used it. They set it up and never came back to put it down till after 8pm! So the next day we come out to the beach again and this time given 2 up front chairs on the left side. After putting our stuff down and starting to set up, we were told the seats they assigned us for that day were already taken. In fact the reserver was rude to even say "he paid EXTRA for these chairs for the week!" We asked what are the rules here? The beach guy that helps with reserving had NO CLUE... He was "new"... He didn't even have a pen to write down reserved seating...We were given 2 back chairs on the left. So we go up to the 8th floor to ask HOA, what are the rules because if we need to reserve for the week, we can do that but we need to know... HOA says "we have no idea what the rules are, we have nothing to do with those chair reservations!" Are you kidding me? The next day we try and get the same back two seats in the back and were told they were already reserved and in fact already reserved for the week... They gave us middle back chairs for the rest of the week. Why? Why can't we have the chairs we've had the last 2 days? Because we didn't ask for the entire week? The first day (Sunday) I asked the same kid that told us first come first serve.... "why are you putting us now in the middle when you first told us 'first come first serve'"!? His response "I don't know what happened ma'am" This may not seem like a big deal to you but when you see seats NOT being used by people who are allowed to reserve all week, it can piss you off because it would be nice to watch your kids from the front row ‍‍‍‍‍‍ and not always in the back... If the rules allow for you to reserve the entire week, great... The people who make the reservations need to be told, so they know to do their job! Would also be nice to have some other things to do for teens. As stated in previous comments the pool is not as big as it shows in the pictures, but it's cool... One hot tub. You need a pool for rainy days! And yes it rained on us! Will we back? I like the space but I've stayed In condos that are less expensive, a little smaller but offer more amenities. If the reservation rules to the beach chairs can be explained, next time we will know if we decide to come back. Until next year!
