The place was very spacious and did not feel like a typical condo. Included beach items in the condo were an added bonus. Absolutely loved the main bathroom's shower! I had a few questions that could have been answered if i read the information sent to me before checkin. However communication from the owner was prompt even at somewhat odd hours. I researched many condos in the area and i am really glad i chose this one. If you are doing the same thing, you wont be disappointed with this one. Ill stay here again the next time i am in town!

Great trip overall
10.0
The property is very nice and well-appointed. The kitchen is nice with an ocean view. It would work best for parents and two older children that could sleep in bunk beds. The owner responds quickly to concerns. The pool is small but fine for younger children or adults to cool off. The beach is great, not very crowded and umbrella service is available . The washer and dryer came in handy.

The property was small and very cozy. It is right in the beach and in walking distance of restaurants and entertainment! It was perfect for a getaway with my husband, mother, and grandmother.

the beach was closed all week, that put a damper on things, some of out boating trips were cancelled but we still enjoyed a lot of relaxing. i think the condo was nice, i think it needs a dresser in the living area for guest not in the master bedroom but it was still nice

Great unit for our family. Equipped with everything you may need. Complex did not feel crowded even being in June. Within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. Would recommend.

This is a perfect place to relax on the beach somewhere that’s not overcrowded and has a nice restaurant just down the beach. My wife and I hardly left the whole time we were there and everything was just as advertised.

This condo had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. The bed was very comfortable. The walk in shower was amazing. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We also liked having the washer and dryer in the unit. The best thing about this condo was the gorgeous view of the gulf. We loved sitting on the balcony enjoying the view and sound of the waves.

The condo was perfect for our family of four. It had everything we needed for the week. The view was the best part! We could see the ocean every morning and got lost in its beauty. The easy access to the beach was a HUGE bonus! Isabella was very prompt, courteous, and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Overall the place was nice. The condo is managed by the owner and not the property management. So if everything is not perfect it is not going to be corrected during your stay. To be fair we do not reach out to the owner.
Some small cleaning service issues during our stay included: the dishwasher was not unloaded, one tall glass was broken in the load in the dishwasher, the shower mats were outside on a rack and not in position in the bathroom, there was glass on the floor not from the broken glass that was in the dishwasher, the bathroom in hall - the AC vent was dirty, rusty water came out of iron on first use, and there were no welcome instructions or general instructions and information found anywhere which we are used to seeing from VRBO owners.
Some suggestions ... the bedroom window needs a curtain to block the lights at night. The blind does not fit inside the window which allows people to see in from outside. We hung up a towel to block the light. They also need to relocate the smoke detector which goes off if you take a hot shower. And lastly, all the dish towels smelled sour…both of them.
The actual room was very adequate, it just needs much more hands-on attention than the current service being provided.

Perfect quiet get away with everything I needed to escape reality. I enjoyed multiple different restaurants just minutes away from the beach club. The room was perfect and in a quiet beach club located right on the beach. Look forward to renting out this unit again in the future.

All experiences were great. One issue was the cleanliness of the unit floors. They would turn your bare feet black. Need a good cleaning. It did not detract from our overall great experience.

The condo is just as described in VRBO. The beach view is perfect to sit on the balcony for a serene cups oof coffee. The beach was never super packed and neither was the pool. This was a great experience and Isabella was very responsive to any inquiries very expeditiously. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will be back!

Perfect stay
From the time I booked until I checked out, Isabella was very responsive. Only surprise for me was just how close the condo was to the beach! Very easy to get to other amenities like ice cream, restaurants, Publix, etc. Front desk staff were very helpful too.
The condo was spotless when we arrived and the pillows were very comfy (not always a given in VRBOs). Can’t wait for our baby son to be a little older so we can utilize the bunk beds as well.

Fabulous Condo on the beach
Condo was fabulous!! Having a washer and dryer in condo was great!! Everything we needed in the kitchen! Beach area wasn’t packed with people which was extremely nice!
