Basic Condo stay
The condo needed more essential items. Cooking utensils were super cheap or didn’t have what was needed to cook with. There were nats flying up from the kitchen sink.
The lock was hard to work. The door had to be pull to while trying to unlock the door.
We have stayed at this condo complex plenty of times and all of the other condos was way better then this one.
We have been coming to Top of the Gulf since everything opened back up from COVID, and have always enjoyed our stay. The condo was extremely clean and served our needs. The only complaint I have is that the patio furniture is horrible. It is a small metal table with two metal chairs; which was extremely uncomfortable. Thank God our daughter and her husband had rented unit 107 and they had extremely comfortable furniture and we were able to enjoy being outside while our grandson’s were swimming.
