About this property
Large private balcony with Gulf views! 2 Bedroom condo. FN #205
A unique third floor 2 bedroom condo with a private sundeck to lay out, enjoy the day and relax watching the sunset. (3rd floor - no elevator)
***Please READ****: this condo is a bit dated. Window treatment & all furnishings are older, we like to ensure guests know this before booking. Please see the pictures. This unit has a rare, private roof top balcony - it is the best feature!! We have many units in the same building that are fresh and updated, but this is not one of them. The price reflects this. It's a good deal for an older unit. If you want modern & updated, we can give you other units in the building to check out for a little more money. If you are okay with 'retro beachy cottage style, no frills, staying at grandma's old beach condo that's a bit out dated' then this place will work fine. No frills people that like camping are a fan of this unit. It definitely does the job for a family beach vacation on a budget.
Retro beachy vibe condo with cable TV and Wi-fi included. Great views, location and large private sundeck. A queen bed in one bedroom, 2 twin beds in the second bedroom and a pull out sofa in the living room. Magnificent Gulf of Mexico views from the living room and private sundeck. All linens & towels are included. The kitchen has dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. The private deck has plenty of room to watch the activities at the pool and the beach.

Property is exactly as described, "grandmas beach cottage". The unit definitely feels a bit dated but it wasnt a problem, TVs in each room, and the AC works well. The balcony (only one on the building) was a great place to relax and watch the sunsets.We'll be back to this one for aure!wil
As advertised. Comfy place close to beach. Nice little snack stand in the parking lot just a tiny walk from condo. Breakfast burgers and adult beverages. Nice place
The location was great, right by the beach with restaurants nearby. Communication with the host was good, and check-in was easy. The apartment itself is very dated, and while it had everything we needed there was one annoyance: most of the electrical plugs only have the two prongs with no ground socket. That meant that we had to hunt around the apartment to find the few outlets with a ground pin in order to plug in a number of our electronics, such as laptop chargers.
Do not rent this place. It is a 3rd floor walk up and there has not been any maintenance on the unit ever. There was a very strong mold smell and the place is filthy. VRBO was great at helping us communicate with the host and, we did not stay at this property after seeing the condition. Public beach access is right there and parking was great.
The condo was just as shown online. It was quaint clean and in an excellent location. Roger was the rental manager I worked with and he was very accessible and easy to work with. I highly recommend this place. Again, the condo is as advertised. Very dated. But it’s clean and there is a lot of room inside which worked great for myself, my 21 yr old daughter and my best friend. Very pleased with our stay. The pool area is very nice also! (No bathroom at pool area And no elevators in the buildings here FYI) second time for me at this condo complex and yes I would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location, gross aparrtment
The “warnings” given when renting the place state that it is dated and bare bones. While it is very dated it isn’t like a clean 1980s apartment. There are stains all over the place including gross stains in the carpets. Grime on the fridge door, trash under the bed: empty coke bottle and empty pill packets. The location is close to the beach and we spent most of our time outside at the great pool or at the beach or in my other family’s rented place in the same building which was much nicer. I would recommend the building in terms of pool and location but this place was not as nice as camping even. Appliances didn’t work and it just had an overall gross feeling.
Property was perfectly positioned for us between Jimmy B's and Toasted Monkey, where our friends where performing. Property was exactly as advertised and just what we needed.
The condo is quite rustic, but very comfortable and clean!! Felt like my Mamaws house with the rustic quality and welcoming feeling!! We had 6 with us and although it was small, we all felt comfortable and never felt like we were on top of each other!! We plan to rent it again for our vacation next summer!!
Room was dirty, smelled like pee, not taken care of, no working outlets, 1 working tv out of 3, dirty laundry under bed, not up to code outlets falling out of walls some with out covers on, ceiling falling down, tiles coming up in bathroom

Lovely place
The condo is right on the beach in a central location. Has everything you would need for a great trip. Cozy beds, AC, basic kitchen amenities, even beach toys for kids. We had a fun time here.
The ad was very clear about what to expect, and we found the condo to be just that. It suited our needs for our travel and the management was easy to work with.
As described definitely needs updating. However, everything was in working order and it is a perfect location for a beach vacation. Ideal view, loved the private sun deck and walking distance to a wide range of restaurants. Had an awesome stay and would definitely return.
