Ocean Trillium Suites

The Trillium was perfect for a birthday getaway as the beach is like 100 yards away, and it’s on part of the beach where it’s more room than I’ve ever seen on a beach. We stayed on the 8th floor and could see/ hear the ocean when we walked in the condo. Eating breakfast and having coffee on the balcony looking at the ocean, is exactly what we wanted. The bar/ restaurant right next door was nice for lunch, and it was a bonus being so close to The Garlic restaurant, that sealed the deal. Pretty rad couple of days

Where to start! Pro: The condo itself, 3405 had absolutely stunning views oceanfront. It was decorated very beachy and looked very inviting. The tv was quite large and had most any channel you could want. The living room opened onto a balcony with seating to enjoy the waves. The bedroom had 2 queen beds and also decorated quite cute. Dining room was quite functional and sat 4 people. The kitchen was quite functional and I was really loving the countertop they used. It came fully furnished with everything you will need. Freezer has an ice maker too! The bathroom was nicely upgraded and there were enough towels for the 2 of us for several days. Con’s: The living room furniture was absolutely filthy! Doesn’t look like it has ever been cleaned. The couch is totally like sitting on the floor and extremely difficult to get out of as was the chair. The beds were quite soft and have a zipped mattress cover which was great but it was waterproof and you sweated on it all night long. There were several long miserable sweaty nights. We loved where the condo was located, Chases was next door which is a pool bar and several more rather close. If a few upgrades were made such as new mattresses covers and furniture, we would head right back, but until then……

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED... As a 74 year old with a bad hip & shoulder, these are the issue. The ONLY elevator did NOT work (for 3 weeks). Had to walk 5 flights with our luggage, etc. The balcony door took two of us to open. The shower valve took two arms and braced legs to pull out. The door key did not work without endless jiggling. Ocean access was blocked off. There is too much more to list ...wasted money Date of stay: March 2024

Beware- this property does have a nice location on the beach. However, the are individually owned condos. Our unit was clean and comfortable and partially updated. Clean towels were given daily and trash picked up as well. While the property manager states”it’s not a hotel”. Which it is not but it is absolutely run like one. You cannot request a specific unit. Some owners have updated their units, some a little bit, some not as much. There are 8 floors, the higher the room number , the closest to the beach. 704 is close to beach- 701 closest to elevator. All patios are angled to beach. We stayed here years ago and you could pick the unit. If you book on Airbnb, you get what they feel like giving you. Nice for the owners, not as nice for the guests. Not my first choice in NSB
