Great location

Right on the beach with a large beach area to enjoy a day in the sun. Located right across from John’s pass, so walking distance from food, beer, souvenirs, and water activities. I had a nice relaxing long weekend and didn’t have to get my car for anything.

Nice beach view

Gulf Getaway

The condo was lovely and a described. On towel ring was broken and we really could have used another set of bath towels. But place was clean and had what we needed to get settled. We didn't go in the pool but plenty of others were having a great time in it. The beach was very fine sand and a real pleasure to walk on. The Gulf shore was beautiful and was warmer than bath water.

Holiday

Beautiful condo facing the ocean! We had a wonderful stay. the heated pool and bathroom by pool & beach was a plus. Condo was quiet and comfortable. The kitchen could use some more coffee cups, wine glasses. The kitchen towels and bathroom towels were sparse but we made do by using the washing machine right outside our door which was convenient. The VFW across the street has a change machine! We would definitely return. Overall perfect spot, lovely stay.

Solo Traveler

This property was in a great location and the balcony view was breathtaking with a great view of morning dolphins and beautiful sunsets. The condo could have been so much more with a bit of TLC and better communication. Most VRBOs I have stayed in have information in the units about the property and surrounding areas WIFI and TV instructions. This unit left me to my own devices and research There is a great trolly with a stop right out front you can access through an app. It would have been nice to have information ahead so I could use it regularly. The bathroom mirror and shower glass had not been cleaned and lighting in the bedroom was minimal and great sink and mirror in the bedroom with no lighting was disappointing. There is a sleeper sofa in the LR but it took two days and several requests to get sheets for a friend who joins me for a couple days. A Parking pass was available but no instructions on where to park. Unit 204 is very hard to see on the pavement and someone kept parking in this spot. I notified management but never heard back so I parked in a different spot. If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs. You can hear the AC kick on and off often and the pluming upstairs is very loudLastly the chairs on the balcony are broke so take a pillow to sit on or you might fall through. I have never written a negative review before and this unit has so much potential. It was disappointing the listing and price did not live up to the VRBOs I am use to staying in.

Excellent unobstructed beach view. Needs newer Cookware as the pots n pans are old and beat up. Otherwise everything needed for kitchen was very good. Floor needs to be mopped clean not just swept or vacuumed. Very dirty. Bathroom very clean. Would like better and more towels. Overall great place to stay!

The host never once responded to the multiple messages we sent regarding the broken toilet. We ended up calling maintenance twice but finally gave up when they never did follow through with fixing the issue. Our only option the entire stay was to remove the back of the toilet lid and reach in to physically remove the plug as the chain was completely broken. The water in the shower was warm at best, and the unit itself was rough and needed much maintenance. The only good thing about the unit was the ocean view. The awful customer service was very disappointing.
Broken toilet paper holder.
Broken towel wrack.
No chain/broken chain. Had to manually lift the res plug for it to flush.
Deferred maintenance in the kitchen. The drawers and doors were very unstable and dirty.

Beautiful condo in a beautiful location. Communication was easy person who answered the phone was very friendly and check in process very easy. While the condo was beautiful, we had no sheets for a murphy bed and no extra pillows with pillow cases. Dishes were left wet sitting in water in the cabinet, looked like they had butter on them. The floor made our feet black within an hour, not enough towels left for showering. However, this property is beautiful and it is in a great location and it was quiet and family friendly. Property was also up to date and beautiful inside.
