Condo definitely needs some updating. The pictures on the Vrbo don’t match what you get. A lot of construction going on and around the property. Proximity to the beach was fantastic! Our refrigerator went out but it was taken care of the next day. Also..a very bright porch light shines into the master bedroom and there was no way to turn off.

Perfect getaway

So, if you’re looking for something to get away, quiet, peaceful retreat with beautiful sunsets away from the center of town. This is it. I stayed in unit 101, it’s big enough, perfect sunsets from the patio. Pool and beach are right there which is convenient when traveling with 2 toddlers. The unit needs some TLC and a very deep cleaning maybe even some paint, but overall it’s a great unit and I’ll definitely be back!

Steps from beach

Lovely little rental for a quick family getaway. The beach is amazing with soft fluffy sand, the location can’t be beat, the pool was the perfect temperature, and the unit was very cute. The layout is a bit odd, with the den being a pass through from the master to the living area, but everything else more than made up for it.

Beautiful beach view, comfy unit

We would stay again! My little family had a wonderful time. The beach and pool access were great. Bed was comfy. I would suggest maybe some better cookware in the kitchen, but we made due. We only stayed a few days, but for a longer stay would bring better pots and pans since we cook a lot. The front desk lady was really nice and helpful. Wish this unit accepted pets and we would book a much longer stay this summer.

Check in was smooth and communication was easy. I was pleasantly surprised by all the amenities in the condo - they supplied all paper products, beach chairs, and beach towels. It’s located right on the beautiful gulf! Just as a warning, very hard to get food delivered, but there’s a Publix nearby.

Steps away from the beach. A very well maintained property. Only constructive suggestion is to replace the standard patio tables and chairs with higher ones so you can see over the Sea Oats. Other than that, it was everything we could ask for.

Beautiful condo steps from the beach

Beautiful condo, just steps away from the beach, with a private entrance to the pool. The pool was a little dirty, but that was probably just because it was so windy while we were here. Everything else was wonderful. The bed and the couches were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The nearest Publix is exactly 1 mile away and is open until 10. I can say with certainty that we will be back.
