"Great place to stay close to the Gulf! The beach has beautiful white sand and is a minute walk away. The condo was super clean and had a balcony with a beautiful view of the blue waters. We have five in our family and it was great size for us! The pools and hot tub were awesome after a long day at the beach. Plenty of restaurants and entertainment options close. Great shopping as well. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend! Thank you!!"

"Great condo! It is on the top floor and there are no elevators so keep that in mind, 32 stairs to be exact! Lol
It really wasn’t too hard for us, but we did have three children to help us take things to the beach! The walk to the beach is not far at all. This particular condo included beach toys, chairs, and even an umbrella! The chairs were very helpful and the kids liked using the beach toys and boogie boards!
Definitely bring your own spices, Ziploc bags, saran wrap, that sort of thing if you are planning to cook! They do have all the pots and pans and utensils, and there is a Walmart about 12 miles away. The pools are always very nice and clean, even a hot tub! I recommend Kenny D’s restaurant just down a few blocks, we walked down for dinner one night and it was really good! And not too pricey. And the Gulfarium is a must if you want to spend a day away from the beach too. Totally worth every penny!
My family of five really enjoyed this condo and we will definitely stay again!"

"Great spot overall - We had a lovely stay. A couple of things that were frustrating. Had multiple issues with internet as I tried to work from the condo but was told that the infrastructure was being updated unfortunately not until our stay was over. There wasn’t an elevator on the property, not a big deal overall but carrying a month’s worth of stuff for two young kids it was quite a shock from other places we have stayed before in other locations. Overall though we would stay here again if the opportunity came up."

Beach walk is super easy and takes less than a minute, and the private beach was great and not overcrowded like you get at bigger resorts. Walking distance to a bar/restaurant called Kenny Ds that I recommend as well. Great fried seafood and hurricanes!"

It was extremely close to the beach and the beachfront was absolutely breathtaking. The furniture in the kitchen and living room was a bit worn, but we didn’t spend much time in the room. The beds were super comfortable and we all slept well every night. Our main gripe was just lugging our stuff up and down 3 flights of stairs to unpack and repack at the end of our stay. Overall I loved the location and would definitely stay here again!"

The condo was very home like but a vacation/relaxation spot all in one. It was fully furnished with everything u would need and then some!

"Great Location with a Partial View of the Ocean from the Balcony! - We have stayed at this place before but the first time in this condo. It was great. The only suggestion I have, would be to leave some instructions/troubleshooting for the dishwasher. We could not get it running and after listening to it beep for an hour, we gave up. Other than that, it was just right! Thanks!"
