Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay. The home had everything we needed to cook our meals. We especially liked not having to cross 30A for beach access; plenty of front row seating on the beach. The inside of the home is really nice. I can't wait to see how the external area of the building/property is refreshed hence my overall 4/5 review.

Wonderful Family Vacation!

Stayed with a full house ranging from 5 years old to 70. Beautiful well stocked property just a short walk from the beach. We arranged a Wal-Mart grocery pick up in Panama City Beach for our arrival and we were all set! Gloria was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Beach definitely was not as crowded as a lot of the beaches in the area, and we really appreciated all of the beach gear available. Enjoyed our stay very much!

Great place to stay on 30A!

We very much enjoyed staying in this condo. It was clean, comfortable and very well stocked including beach gear. Our grandkids loved the bunkbed and the master bedroom was great with a good view of the gulf. The living area was comfortable and the deck with a view so nice to have. Access to the beautiful uncrowded beach was an easy walk from the house. Our family had a wonderful time visiting the 30A area and staying here. Plus, Gloria was extremely responsive to our questions and so easy to work with.. We highly recommend!

Had a wonderful family vacation at this very nice and well stocked home. There were so many nice touches that made it feel like home and there was plenty of room for the family. Plenty of pots, pans and dishes and it was nice to have use of the beach chairs. The short walk to the beach was easy and we enjoyed the view from the balcony. Everything was great! This has been our best experience in the nine years we’ve been coming to these beautiful beaches; I almost want to keep it a secret!

Cozy, convenient and close to beach

Gloria was a incredibly helpful to work with me as our family went back and forth over bringing our dog. Then when we had an unexpected change to our dates, she was gracious to work with us. Very responsive to every inquiry! Our family of 4 (with 2 teenage girls) found this condo to have exactly the right amount of space for togetherness and solitude. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils and tools, some spices and necessities, nothing refrigerated. We cooked some every day and I never wished that I had some other tools or appliance. Beds were very comfortable! We would totally stay here again!

Beach Views and the Comforts of Home

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at 30Ahhhhh! Plenty of space, very well equipped, felt like a home away from home. We had a question about the internet access while there and Gloria not only responded quickly, but she also provided a solution! If you've never been to 30A, it's a fabulous place for families. It's a wonderful mixture of quiet and bustling. The beaches were beautiful, peaceful, and not at all crowded. With 3.5 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms, the family all had their own space while the main floor proved to be an excellent gathering space for our entire family for meals, card games, and some intense Super Mario on the Nintendo Switch (we brought)! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing such a great beach house! Something worth noting, 30A gets incredibly busy during peak travel times. This home is conveniently situated with easy access to 98 (the only way to get to Destin or Panama City Beach). You will want this if you're on 30A, unless you like watching foot traffic pass you as you sit in traffic.

Close to beach, inside nice outside needs help.

The good about this property is how close it is to the beach, that was great. Everything was clean and most everything worked. The touch faucet in the kitchen stopped working after the second day. I think it was a battery, but I didn't want to mess with it so we just used the water from the half bath that was right there. Towels were big and fluffy and lots of them. Furnishings were nice. Bikes and beach towels provided. The layout is a little strange with a bed and bath on the first floor at the back of the converted garage. Two flights up to the master bedroom is a lot for seniors, you definitely had to plan ahead to cut down on the number of trips up and down. This is a common layout though. The exterior needs help. It looks bad and is unkempt. Also the unit next door was being remodeled and a big dumpster was parked next to us and trash was always being blown everywhere. My biggest irritation is that the picture in the add is a view of the house across the street! The actual unit you are renting is one of four units in a quad. Oh yea, the ac unit is really loud and is right beside the living room and the dinette. Would I rent it again, not sure, but that short walk to the beach was really nice.
