Amazing location! The views are great, and the beach is easily accessible. The condo is nicely done, and very comfortable. We have stayed here twice and would happily stay again. The only thing I could wish for that would make it absolutely perfect is more storage for our clothing in the King bedroom and a larger bathroom.

The location of this property in the community is hard to beat and the view from the second floor balcony is perfect! This was our second time staying here and we will be back! The place is clean and spacious, lots of kitchen items, plenty of bath towels and blankets. Plenty of beach chairs as well, sand toys, and body boards. There was a wagon available this time around which was handy. Bring your own umbrella/tent if you need one. Wonderful host as well, great at communicating if there is an issue or you need help. Amazing vacation rental!

This place is amazing. Only downside was the hedges blocked the ocean view from the family room /deck. Would like to have sat out on the deck and seen the ocean instead of bushes.

We loved this property. Both the living room and one bedroom have windows looking directly over the gulf. We enjoyed cooking every day and found all of the utensils and cookware we needed to make some really amazing meals. We also spent time in the state park directly adjacent to this property and enjoyed the beaches and scenery they offered. The property faces the gulf with perfect views of the sunset.

We loved our stay at Chips Ahoy! The location is excellent - just a short walk to the beach -and the views were wonderful. I loved watching for dolphins from our bedroom window and for the stars at night. Our dog loved the window seat! It was a perfect place for our family to gather - beautiful, yet still very comfortable and homey. I hope we will be able to return again in the not too distant future.

Excellent experience! The unit is beautifully decorated, homey, spacious, and has wonderful views! It’s a super easy walk to the beach off the back deck. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The cute window seat with beach views was a special bonus. The super loft is awesome and was perfect for our kids!! I hope we can visit again soon.
