Beautiful condo!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Better Than the Ritz! The condo was absolutely beautiful and the Gulf views were spectacular! There was plenty of room for the kids and the amenities were incredible. The hosts were great and very responsive. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and look forward to the opportunity to visit again.

We have rented in OBA for years and this was one of the smoothest experiences. The owners were wonderful and communicated well with us. The unit is absolutely gorgeous! They had a welcome package with snacks and we all enjoyed that. By far one of our favorite stays!

Perfect beach vacation!

My husband and I love everything about this condo. Check in was easy and Dina was so accommodating. The unit was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The views from the huge balcony are exactly what we wanted. The hot tub and grill on the balcony were such a nice added bonus. This was one of my favorite stays in Turquoise Place. I can’t wait to return!

Great trip!

We had a wonderful stay - even with a couple days of rain. The condo is beautiful and very accommodating to families. The resort itself has a lot of great amenities. The view - right on the beach - can’t be beat. My only suggestions is to replace the pillows - especially in the first bedroom when you walk in. And maybe more towel hooks in the bathrooms. It’s hard for a family sharing a bathroom to hang all the towels up. It was a great stay! We will be back!

Absolute perfection!

I can’t say enough about this incredible beach condo! The location was unbeatable—just steps away from the sand with stunning ocean views right from the balcony. The condo itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated, offering all the comforts of home with a luxurious touch. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the beds were so comfortable that we slept like babies each night.The host was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, even providing thoughtful extras like beach chairs, seasoning for cooking and baby gear! I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for an exceptional beach vacation! We can’t wait to come back.

Relaxing Getaway

This condo was clean and well decorated; very cozy. Beds are comfortable and the walk in showers refreshing! Amazing view of the ocean and fresh salt air. Check in was simple. Didn’t get to use the hot tub due to yearly maintenance - not a big deal at all, prefer the ocean.

Great stay

Everything was great as expected. I would recommend a grab bar in bedroom to the left of the entrance shower. Shower floor n bathroom floor is slippery. Also there are several dishes that have chips and should be replaced. Loved the two coffee appliances and oven. The owners were extra helpful. Thank you.
