We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was supplied with everything we needed without having to purchase extra items along with our groceries, which saved us a good bit of money. It was pool side on the back porch and not too far from the beach.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Property location is close to pool and short walk to the beach! Property however needs maintenance and is older. Broken blinds on rear door so no privacy to the patio which is right by the pool, dishwasher was leaking, door did not shut properly and looked like the door was broken at one point and fixed. The property also was not very clean on the interior and the patio furniture was all dirty and needed cleaned to even use. Also the 3rd bedroom has no air conditioning and gets very warm. As far as location it is very convenient but the property it’s self needs some attention
Perfect location and very comfortable! Wild dolphins came up to us while swimming short distance from beach. The pool is right outside and was never crowded.

Thanks for the 5 star review Cindy, we hope to host you again soon!
We loved the pool location! And beach access!Property was clean. Not updated for a while and patio door handle broken. An old grill on patio. Coffee table has a small crack. Other than that we had an awesome time!
Girls trip with 4 adults and 3 teens. Great location within walking distance to the beach and a couple shops and restaurants . Kids enjoyed the pool. Great communication with owners, they answered my questions promptly.

Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. We would love to have you back anytime in the near future!
We enjoyed our week of vacation at #67 South Bay by the Gulf. The house was very nice (pictures are accurate). The beach was a short walk from the house. We had a wonderful time on the private beach. Since we were there off season there were no crowds, the water was still warm enough to swim in. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the review. We will take a look at the vents in the condo. The cleaning crew does a tremendous job at this unit and we inspect before every arrival to ensure it's perfect for each guest.
Our family, plus Nana (5 people) really had a great experience in this property. Steps from the private beach access, and Taylor the beach attendant was wonderful! The pools were clean and the property was beautifully maintained. The condo it’s self was perfect and fully furnished for our stay. Plenty of space! Loved the patio for outdoor lounging. Everything was super simple and very easily accessible. Awesome trip!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It was easy access to beach. But the house upper level AC is terrible. One of the room has no AC n the bunk bed mattress felt horrible to sleep on. Not enough toilet paper was provided for family of 9.
