My wife, a friend, and our eight year old son head a great stay in late June and early July. The condo location is great. The view from every room is outstanding, particularly from the upstairs master bedroom where you can see both the Gulf and the inlet to the bay side. Decor and amenities are great. There were a couple of beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach toys in the garage to use, which were very handy. It is a 20 minute walk to 5 minute drive to restaurants on the bay side along the boardwalk, so fairly close.I had three small complaints. First, the bedrooms need dressers or shelves in the closet so there is somewhere to put your clothes. Second, despite having an electronic lock, you are asked to use a key for the deadbolts. I have rented a number of vacation properties in the last ten years, and haven’t had to do this in a long time. It makes things inconvenient when there are only two keys and more than two adults staying at the house in figuring out schedules as to who will be home when in order to know who should carry the keys. Third, the ceiling on the second floor (not the top floor) leaked during a rainstorm - we called the management company to tell them and per their request I emailed them pictures, but I didn’t get a response, which combined with the fact that it looked like that section of the ceiling had been painted over makes me think it isn’t uncommon. I’d also note that if your rental starts on Sunday, the unit wasn’t available until 5pm (we arrived at 4:45pm and were told we would have to wait) and the office closes at 6pm, so it is a pretty small window to pick up the keys - again, this could be solved by having all electronic locks so they can email you the code and you don’t have to go to an office to do anything.Even with those three complaints, we were still very satisfied with the condo and would absolutely rent it again. It is spacious, has a great location, and was aff
