Location was good - condition was okay

Girls trip for a long weekend. We picked this condo for the direct beach access and location to John’s Pass. The condition of the interior is lacking. Beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Furniture was dated and worn. Floors were dirty. No extra amenities like shampoo or paper towels. Would not return.

Amazing vacation!

This was the perfect place to bring two of my grandchildren for their first Florida vacation. The property was clean and conveniently located. We were able to walk across the street for our pirate cruise and our dolphin cruise. No worries about parking. I would definitely come stay again.

The interior was just remodeled. Beautiful view. Pool was great and beach access was good. Kitchen was well equipped. Only drawback for us, the mattress was very hard. Hurt joints - slept on the sofa 3 nights.

Highly recommend this condo!

My family and I loved our stay. The location is perfect. Within minutes of walking you have gift shops, restaurants and ice cream shops right behind the condo complex. The views were amazing sitting on the patio. Check-in/out was seamless and easy. We plan to visit again. The upkeep/cleaning was not as detailed as I personally clean but for a week stay it was no biggie. We had our 15 month old so rented some items from babyquip, which worked great. It was nice just being steps from the beach to get nap times in:) Just an fyi regarding having a toddler- some exposed electrical cords, glass table, no tub drain (plugged it with wash cloth), but totally managed.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a very outdated unit. View was spectacular!!!! Needs a lot of plumbing updates. Faucets about ready to fall off and rust on a lot of fixtures. Bathroom doors were falling apart. Stains and sections of ceiling falling down. Toilet sits crooked and unlevel.

The condo had a spectacular beach-/seaview from livingroom and balcony. Nice pool area, clean and well maintained and equipped with enough loungers. Large parking area on ground level with reserved spacious parking lot for each unit. Keyless access / protection to staircase, elevator, beach In&out with 4 digit PIN, to Condo with 6 digit PIN 😊, no worries about keys. Staircase and elevator left some room for improvement of cleanliness.The rented Condo was clean with few exceptions.Management personnel was friedly and helpful.
