Great location
Great location and even better views! It was the perfect size for a family of 7 and being able to walk out the back porch to the beach was amazing!

Perfect, perfect, perfect - no high rise!
We stayed here for a girls trip - 7 of us in total. We had plenty of room! The property is bigger than it looks in the photos. It was great to just walk down a set of stairs and be on the beach! No elevators or crowds. Perfect walking distance to stores. Comfy beds, great deck space with chairs and table as well. For several in our group this was their first time to the Gulf Coast and they loved it! The pool was nice as well. Just a lovely complex overall. Would 10 out of 10 stay here again!

Fun Home for Girls’ Trip
Our group of 8 women came here for our annual Girls’ trip. We had a wonderful time and the location was great! We loved being right on the beach and loved that home was large enough for all of us to sleep comfortably. We had an amazing time!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Bartshe

Host profile image
We have been visiting the Gulf Coast since 1985 and purchased a condo at Ocean Reef in 1998. We continue to vacation here. We love the small scale of Ocean Reef (45) units and the 200 foot white sand beach, the views and the weather.

Why they chose this property

We don't like high rises, elevators and not being right at the beach at the bottom of our steps!

What makes this property unique

We can walk to restaurants, festivals, Hang Out, Public Beach, stores, etc. This property is a 3 story townhouse, no one is above or below you!
