The location was perfect and the host was very responsive and accommodating. The shops, beach access and restaurants are convenient. The condo desperately needs a facelift. It felt very unclean and old. It made my stay unpleasant. We checked out very early.

Nowhere does it mention that the room is directly across from the elavator.There was constant noise throughout the night. And the daily garbage truck was sooo disruptive.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 May 2026
I'm sorry about the noise! Some people are not considerate of others sleeping near by. I bought a sound machine to help with that problem. I know the trash pick-up is noisy . I asked the GulfPlace manager if the trash could be picked up later but it can't. I'm going to check with the trash company myself and see if they can at least not have the back up noise going on but I think they have to have that sound. It won't hurt to ask.

The room itself was great. The location of the room had its good and bad. It's directly across from the elevator, right next door to the trash chute and next door to the washer/dryer. The elevator was loud a few times but it wasn't a huge deal. We spent most of our time at the beach and she does have a noise machine to help drown out the noise at night. The trash chute next door, stunk! We didn't smell it in the room, just outside. The people above us stomped all night! Again, the noise machine helped some. I do wish there was more than one extra roll of toilet paper and two coffee pods for a family of 5 staying for 4 nights. We loved that there were two beach chairs to use, an umbrella for the beach, extra beach towels and private beach access right across the street. All in all, we would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Carroll

Host profile image
I live in Mississippi with my husband and have lived here for over 40 years. We have two grown sons, one who lives in Florida and one in Mississippi. I grew up in Kansas and obtained a degree in education eventually teaching 1st grade for 40 years. I am now a retired 1st grade teacher and enjoy visiting beautiful Florida to spend time near our son, daughter-in-law and our grandsons.

Why they chose this property

We love this area and the opportunity to visit our family who live near the condo. This is a beautiful area and not nearly as congested as near-by beach towns. We bought the condo several years ago and had it managed by a rental company, but now (being retired) have more time and decided to give it a more personal touch. We have upgraded with new paint, patio furniture, ceramic wood tile, and some new furniture. Reviews left in our visitor's book in the condo have been very complimentary and we want to continue providing our guests a great place to stay. We are not new owners, just new to this site.

What makes this property unique

* Within 150 yards of beach
* Breakfast, lunch and dinner eateries mere steps away
* Frequent free entertainment provided on the condo grounds
* Swimming pools
* 24 hour Security
* Miles of bicycle paths adjacent to beach and roads
* Bicycle rental available right out the door
* Various shops and boutiques in building
