This beach condo is amazing. Great location, very clean, no dampness at all, and plenty of amenities. Having two chairs and an umbrella came in very handy since we flew in from the west coast. We loved the gameroom. Pool looked nice and clean and there were plenty of places to sit and take in the beautiful view all over the property. Communication was top notch. Beach was super clean and there were plenty of places to eat within walking distance (under a mile). We would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

The condo was exactly as described! Perfect for a long weekend with a couple of friends. Only suggestion would be mattress toppers. Communication was great, condo was clean and updated, beach service was great, and loved the book with menus and suggestions for local restaurants.

This is a precious condo with an amazing view! The condo was clean and well maintained. We spent most of our time out in the gulf or on the beach. The beach chairs and umbrella set up that is included in the rental (seasonally) was an amazing perk -- making it so much more comfortable to hang out on the beach longer. The common deck areas were also very nice. Going during the week and after schools were back in session made for a less crowded experience. We could not have asked for better weather and great place to stay.The view is spectacular, but you don't have a personal balcony. The kitchen is small, but we wanted to eat local seafood most days. We only needed it for easy meals. Neither of these were deal breakers for us.

Great stay!

We had a great time in PCB! The room was really cute and looked to be recently updated with the sliding barn doors. The view was beautiful but a balcony would have made it even better! There was a shared balcony which was nice as well. Checking in was easy, manager very nice and check in with us to make sure we were happy. Great location and close to everything. We’d love to stay here again sometime!

Great property. Clean room with a great view of the beach. Everything worked well and very comfortable. We forgot our laundry and contacted Kristi who put us in touch with cleaning service manager who washed and dried our clothes then sent them to us. Easy check in and complementary beach chairs and umbrella.

Very happy! We'll book again!

The condo was perfect. Neat and tidy, newly renovated and tastefully decorated with a fun beachy feel. It was equipped with everything we needed. The view of the ocean through the floor to ceiling window was awesome. The staff was friendly and the condo owner responded quickly to my call. The location was away from larger complexes which made for a less crowded beach. The beach chairs and umbrella were in place early. The pool was large and sparkling clean. There was a very short easy walk to the beach with showers to rinse off. Lots of separate spaces around the pool and in the building to gather or enjoy some alone time. We spent a rainy afternoon in the fun game room playing ping pong and shuffleboard. We were very happy with our stay and will definitely book another with Salty Turtles at Top of the Gulf our next visit to PCB.

Surprise birthday getaway to PCB

My husband and I decided this year that we would take our girls on a surprise beach trip just in time for our oldest’s 12th birthday & the start of their fall break from school. We were very happy to find that the condo is exactly as pictured in the listing, and it is even cuter in person! It was perfect for our little family of four for a weekend getaway. We didn’t do any cooking during our stay, but the kitchen was very nicely stocked with all the basics needed to cook a light meal. Pineapple Willy’s was one of the closest restaurants to us and was only a short drive around the corner, but honestly we could have walked up the beach to get there (almost) as quickly. TONS of souvenir/ beach shops within walking distance. Walmart almost right across the street. Pier Park also super close. Overall 10/10 for cleanliness and coziness, would absolutely bring my family to stay again!!
