We very much enjoyed our stay! The property was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the owner was kind enough to let us have an early check in when it was ready. The beach was access was close and a short, easy walk. It is located in walking distance to several restaurants and stores.

This was a perfect spot for my family. I had 2 under 2 and the room was large enough for a pack n play and small blow up mattress. Short walk to the beach.

Great Vacation and Stay

Marc’s place was fantastic from start to finish. I’ve stayed at many different Condos in Gulf Place Caribbean and Marc’s place was the nicest Condo I’ve ever stayed in. Very relaxing with everything you need for a lovely stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Winter Getaway

The property is just as the pictures listed; very well stocked kitchen and the beach towels were a nice touch. Love the beach access and how close it is to walk to. Very much appreciated the heated pool/hot tub just out front since we were there during winter break. The owner was very responsive when we had a question. Would stay here again!

Beautiful property with excellent amenities. I always look for a place with a view of the water and this fit the bill. Very clean with comfortable beds and good water pressure. Location close to great restaurants and activities. We will return to this property again.

Great Location, clean, and easy!

Overall really impressed with the location, cleanliness, and ease of access. The owner was great and helped us add on a night and made check in a breeze. The building was undergoing some maintenance so wasn’t as put together as last time we stayed but it didn’t bother us considering all of the other great things about it.

We will be back

We had the best time! The property was perfect. Centrally located to everything. Beds were comfortable, sat on the balcony and watched the turtles and people in the am. Beach was steps away and the sand was incredible, water warm. Pool clean and felt really good after the hot sun of the beach. Went to Rosemary for a day, Seaside for ice cream. Stuck mostly to the area because some of the best restaurants were within walking distance. Marc was communicative and on top of things. We loved it so much we are now thinking about buying property there.

Perfect for familes

The property was great for families with small and tween aged kiddos. We loved the close proximity to the beach and different pools to choose from and the tennis courts. The walkway to tenns courts was super fun and felt very tropical. Condo matched the pictures (expect view was a blocked some by new construction across the street) and had everything needed for a perfect week...except a pizza cutter. :)

Outstanding property and Owner

My family and I stayed in this condo during the week of July 4th 2023 and were completely satisfied with our experience. We have rented through VRBO many times and felt that the communication and level of service we received from the owner was far above any experience we have ever had. From the initial booking and throughout our stay, the communication with the owner was quick, kind, and proactive. Marc provided a detailed description of access, amenities, and local attractions that was above and beyond other experiences we have had. The condo itself is clean, spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. The furnishings were comfortable and everything worked well. The location is excellent, with 2 private beach accesses directly across the street and another a short walk to the public beach access in the center of the town. It is only a short walk to a variety of restaurants, shopping, and ice cream. The turtles in the ponds were fun to watch throughout the week and the sound of the frogs from the balcony in the evening was fun to listen to. The pool at the complex is well maintained and was not crowded. The grounds were also well maintained and the complex was surprisingly quiet. We would definitely rent from Marc again, and would recommend this condo to family and friends. Thanks for a great week!

Enjoyable Stay

Traveled for a short stay with my young daughter. The property was very nice and is in a great location. Everything was nice and clean just as pictured in the photos. I'd definitely stay here again in the future. My only complaint was check-in. It was noted that you are not to check-in early under any circumstances. We were a little early, so I was waiting until the 4pm check-in time (which is already a late check-in time to be honest). However, I respected the policy and we parked in the lot and waited. As stated, we were ahead of schedule so we were waiting for about an hour and a half. While waiting, I got a call from management at about 3:50pm stating that housekeeping was behind and that the unit would not be ready until about 4:45-5:00. This was a little annoying because we were already patiently waiting for over an hour. However, we had no choice but to wait. I didn't want them NOT cleaning properly...especially with COVID going on. Other than that, everything else was fine.
