"We truly enjoyed the property. Our group consisted of seven people, six being adults and a five-year-old. The property accommodated us incredibly well with everyone having their own bedroom and one to spare. The views were phenomenal. The pool is great and the beachfront location is optimal. We really enjoyed the island and will be visiting again. Next year will likely book this exact same property."

"The house was amazing for our family of 10. The grandkids loved the indoor pool and the short walk to the beach was almost too good to be true! Keeping in mind that it’s Florida, the bugs in the kitchen were annoying and a little gross to cook around. The pest control company finally came in on Thursday, we were leaving Saturday morning, but honestly, they were almost worse after they were there. With that being said, we would not hesitate to book this house again because of the location and the fantastic beach!"

Beach Villa 2313, Upscale and Beautiful Beach Front Condo with Gorgeous Gulf

10/10 Excellent
"Just had a really nice week here. It's exactly as pictured and described. The resort grounds are nicely landscaped and pretty quiet. We didn't realize it's part of a gated community which also gave us some peace of mind about security.The style may not be modern, but all furniture and appliances are clean, comfortable, maintained and working well. Kitchen well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, dinnerware, etc. (even a knife sharpener). Has a Keurig and drip coffee. TV's have lots of free channels but couldn't find how to access the smart TV features in the living room. Internet is fast (we were getting nearly 500Mbps).Very short walk to the beach (although a rented cart made it especially easy). We had neighbors but wall soundproofing seems very good and patio windows are very thick. You hear people going up and down the stairs through the front door but it was never bothersome. Screened in patio/balcony with comfy chairs is a big plus for morning coffee/evening sit with a great view and no bugs. Some beach toys, chairs and a cooler also available although we didn't use them.Had a couple of minor asks of the host and they responded quickly. Two things we didn't like: 1) The patio is really the only window (we wouldn't open the bedroom blinds as it opens onto the stairwell). So, natural light beyond the living room is a bit lacking. 2) Lack of ceiling fan for airflow in the bedroom although there is a desk fan in there. Regardless, I would highly recommend the property."
