Bluegreen Vacations the Soundings

review by Lynn . soundings Seaside was okay in March. The pool area and the pool itself was nice and warm and clean.. The view of Nantucket Sound was great. The modern complimentary coffee machine in the lobby was outstsanding. The staff were very helpful. There was a huge firepit area with comfortable chairs around. The old fashioned hot tub was nice and was gated. The room had a nice gas fireplace which kept the room cozy. The unit itself had a modern full kitchen. Each bedroom had a TV.

We chose to stay here because for family health reasons we needed to be in this area. The unit was okay, but certainly not what I would call a 4 star timeshare. The living room is small and the seating is not very plush. The only place to eat was at a high-top bar in the kitchen, which was not comfortable for me after having had knee replacement surgery. The tables in the living room were not appropriate for eating at or something like a jigsaw puzzle or game. This specific unit was facing the pool and not really appropriate for sitting outside of (given that it was winter, this did not matter but it would be important in the summer). There was no obvious place to hang up clothing to dry. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were adequate in size but there was very little place to unpack and clothing. The indoor heated pool was a feature that helped us choose this timeshare but it was closed from the middle of the week - probably because not many people were staying there but still disappointing. Other features common in what I would consider a 4 star timeshare were lacking; for example, no workout room/gym. The location is wonderful and the staff are very good but we would not return.

Arrived a little early....Room was ready. Would have liked to have upgraded to an ocean view unit....wasn't available
