The host was super responsive, provided all the amenities we needed (there was even a spice rack!). Having beach chairs, a wagon and tennis rackets was great! The ONLY drawbacks were the mattress in the bedroom was hard and toward the end of the stay the WiFi wasn’t working. But we hooked up our hotspot and all was well! I would definitely stay here again!

The whole condo was very clean and felt relaxing. The view was great and we loved being so close to a pool and the beach. Although we didn’t find them til later there were chairs a wagon and sand toys and cooler for our use at the beach. We can’t wait to come stay again!

Great location. Easy access to the beach. Loved that the property provided a wagon to load all of our beach stuff it. The guy working the front desk seemed "not thrilled" to be working the night we checked in. We stayed 2 nights and was provided one wash cloth and no hand towels. Overall, good stay

Everything was really good. The closets had quite a bit of dust on the floor. There was but linens to make the pull out sofa bed. There were 2 pillows and a blanket but no sheets or pillowcases even though I had asked about them and the availability of them before we checked in.

Beautiful, Upgraded Beachfront Condo – Perfect Getaway!

We just stayed at this beach condo and had a wonderful experience. The unit was nice and cozy with an upscale feel, thanks to the modern upgrades in the kitchen and bathroom. The layout was well thought out, making great use of the space, and the view of the beach from the condo was absolutely stunning. Its location near the elevator made access super convenient. The owner was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed the place and would love to come back!

We were all charmed by this cute and cozy condo. The whole family enjoyed the ocean decor, comfortable beds, and easy access to the beach. We enjoyed the pools and balcony, too. The condo is neat, clean, and in good repair. The only downside (which is beyond the host's control) is having to walk up to the third floor to access the property. The elevators were too slow and hot to use, so my knees needed a couple days to recover. Potential vacationers should also be advised that there is a 35 parking pass fee due upon check-in. It would have been nice to know that in advance, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.Overall, I would recommend this place.

This was a very very nice unit. It had everything you need for a home away from home and more. I’ve been staying at the Victorian since I was a kid and this was one of the nicest units. A perfect view of the gulf.
