I just have a problem in the past couple years that the condos are NOT BEING KEPT UP or updated like they should and for the money $$$ you pay to stay there!!
If you go to a hotel, they replace their mattresses every so many years! I would expect my mattress to not be sagging in the middle and when they say everything is working, I expect it for what I pay!
Don't get me wrong, I love the Edgewater, but they seriously need to UPDATE all the units. I know some are individually owned and even most of those have not been updated with the furniture and bedding.
I am now looking at some of the newer condos to stay at, which I really hate because of staying at the Edgewater for so many years, and love the beach/pool/location, but I cannot spend my money at a place that won't take care of their facility, which is mainly the rooms!!

I'd love to hear about anyone else's recent stay at the Edgewater and if the room has been updated.
Are there any places that are similar to the pool at Edgewater to stay at that are new? Thanks!
(By the way, I'm from Indiana).
nanindy, I have stayed in the most beautiful condo at Edgewater!! You should completely request from edgewater reservation , winnward 307! The owners bought this unit when the building was still under construction 25 years ago. Last March the owners spent over 40,000 dollars in updates. It is a 2 bedroom directly on the beach. I know this because the owners are my wonderful parents! My father is a semi-retired builder in the St. louis area, and my mother is an award winning designer. There really wasnt a money cap placed on the re-design. After the project was complete, Edgewater awarded mom and dad with the most elegant unit award! It is important you know that when making reservations with edgewater that a unit such as my parents cost the same as that of a unit not updated in 20 years, so put in a request when planning your trip! My wife and 4 little ones will be there may 18 through the 25th and cannot wait. It really is wonderful!!
