Overall property was nice. The condo itself was sufficient but had many issues. The AC was not working when we arrived and had to be repaired. In addition the only toilet was broken and would not fill with water to flush. Had to use cup to add water.

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.

Fantastic location! Beautiful balcony on the water. I wish it would have been cleaner, as the floors were filthy and the bathroom had dirty q-tips on the floor. Very cute condo though and it had everything you could need in the kitchen.

Great location, condition needs work

Loved the close proximity to the shore and sound of the waves, plus the shops and restaurants just a short walk away. But, for the price of this condo I would expect decent towels (they were all Motel 6 quality, at best), a door keypad that consistently works, a toilet that always flushes, and basic kitchen supplies like a potholder and towel. The pots and pans are cheap and show the wear. Also, the owner didn't even know that there is a Keurig in addition to the drip coffee maker. Not all of the lamps worked, or maybe we just didn't access the correct light switches (of which there are many). There was no info provided about where to park, and we arrived in the dark so it was confusing. I did appreciate the late check-out that the on-site staff approved. With some changes and upgrades, plus better communication upfront, this could be a top-notch place to stay.

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.

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.

Overall, great place

The Location cannot be beat. Right across from Johns Pass and beachfront. Nice pool, awesome beach. Condo was completely updated and very nice. Had some beach equipment. No many cooking materials. Only thing I'd change is adding some hand soap and more towels. Floors were sandy like others have said but that is hard to change being oceanfront. Wish check in was naybe and hour earlier or checkout at 11am, as that is real early in a day. Overall we loved the stay. Would stay here again. Location cant be beat. Condo tastefully updated. Thank you.

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.

Nice beach view

The condo was nice and a good size for two people. The cleaning people/ company could have done a better job. I did some cleaning to make it feel like home. Due to this, I was refunded the cleaning fee.
