Clean place and liked how kitchen is well stocked with things you will need. There are even beach chairs and towels available. Will be staying here again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Home was clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed and then some. Was able to find everything i need in the kitchen. Lots of closet space and hangers. Will be staying again.
This place is perfect. It’s so so well stocked. The beds are so comfortable. The location is a short super easy 4 minute walk to the beach. The beach is beautiful and not crowded. As long as you can climb 2 flights of stairs, this is the place for you. I’ve never been more comfortable in a VRBO, and I can’t wait to come back.
We were in town for a sports event and this property was a wondeful fit for us. It is well stocked and felt like visiting a friends home. Beach access was easy. The property was perfect for an evening walk. We enjoyed a few days of rest at the pool and beach and were very comfortable. Would definitely visit again!
Away from the hustle and bustle and down the road a bit is a very nice condominium. The rooms we stayed in were very nice decorated and equipped. Lack of elevators and ramps took a toll on some of our mobility impaired guests. While this room did not have ocean views, I thought the room was incredibly well done.
We loved our stay at the Villas. Our condo was very nice and clean. The kitchen is well stocked with pretty much everthing you need to cook meals. It is closer to the highway but there is also a walkway to the beach, which only takes a couple minutes. It is a top floor condo. If you are staying with small children who like to run around i would not recommend bc the neighbors below can hear all of the movement.
The condo was perfect in every way! Beds were super comfortable, all kitchen amenities you would need, plenty of space. There were actually multiple umbrellas and chairs already in the condo. We rented umbrella and chairs from Lazy day rentals. Very easy to set up online . My tidbit of advice is to bring a wagon to tote to the beach. It’s only a 3 min walk but lugging all the beach necessities, it’s a haul;) would definitely stay here again.
The property was very close to beach. It was also far enough away from town for some quiet and privacy but close enough for a short drive into restaurants and shopping. The condo was extremely clean and stocked with all the supplies needed for beaching/pool time including coolers, umbrellas, and chairs. I would highly recommend for your next beach vacation!
The outer property is well kept and inside is well updated and clean. As with any beach rental you never know if there are beach chairs or boogie boards (possibly donated by a previous renter). This had both, but again don't count on it.
The master bed frame broke upon sitting down (I'm 150lb wet).
My only complaint (maybe petty) was that no bed was made. All sheets, etc were folded next to each. When on vacation coming from a long drive (or flight) the last thing I want to do when I walk into a room is make my bed. It's bad enough all of these property managers expect to do 1/2 their cleaning by removing the linens and running the dishwasher. I have NEVER had to make a bed at any property I've EVER stayed in Pensacola or ANYWHERE.
