We love this house for our family beach trips! Walkability to everything is SO convenient. Love the mini beach right off the back porch on the walkway to main beach. Love the blue chairs on the deck! That’s our favorite part!

This property was exactly what I wanted with location to and ease of getting to the beach. It's also within walking distance to great, fun restaurants. Rooms were great. We enjoyed the view from the balconies.

Unit was clean. Enjoyed being right on the beach. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook & entertain which was very appreciative. Only complaint is not unit specific but in general. There is no boardwalk to beach & no hot tub. But I knew that ahead of time. No surprises.

This Condo was great. I thought initially that the third floor might be warm. The HVAC was enfineered to provide more cooling to the upper floor so that it was at least as cool as the lower floors. The beds were perfect for us, seemed like they were brand new. The kitchen had relly nice plates and cooking utensils. The coffee maker was very new and worked great. It was a dual Kuereg cartridge and regular ground coffee maker. The view of the Gulf was great and the unit was closer to the beach than I thought it was going to be. We had a great time and hope to use this place again.

The property is as listed. Check in and out was a breeze. What it lacks in decor it makes up for in its location and the view! We loved how well stocked the kitchen was. Overall a fantastic stay at a wonderfully located place on the beach!

Great stay overall! Location of house and convenience to everything was so great. Inside could use some updates but again, with the convenient location it makes up for that. The blue chairs on the deck were a huge hit with my whole family. Can’t wait to rebook this beach house!

Fantastic family spot

The complex and location was perfect for our family vacation. The complex pool was great for the kiddos for evening swimming. The condo gave us enough space to spread out. We hope to return next year.
