Vacation getaway!!

Our stay at Gulf Tower was absolutely wonderful. The place was clean and spacious. It literally has everything you need for a vacation getaway. The patio that overlooks the ocean and Pool was beautiful. That ocean breeze is like no other. We are so thankful we found this place and will definitely be staying here on our next visit.

Dolphin Watch at 5B

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a no frills place. It’s clean, close to everything my family liked to do, and has everything you need minus a hairdryer, but I always bring mine with me. The balcony was great to sit and watch dolphins swim by every morning or the kids in the pool. The downside is the parking lot is small if you have a big vehicle.

Great place for a week at the beach!

Great place for a week at the beach. The enclosed porch was fantastic for morning coffee to sit and listen to the ocean and evening sunsets. Close walk to the downtown area for shopping and dinner too! Property manager was quick with answers to questions. We had a small leak on the toilet when we first arrived and it was fixed within two hours (maintenance came on a Sunday!) Would definitely recommend! Thanks for everything!

Really old and unclean .. pics on vrbo OLD

CONS: This condo was 40 years old. The pics are old ones that are listed on VRBO. Floors and ceilings were disgustingly dirty. Also only 1 patking pass allowed. Our other vehicle had to be parked down the road about a mile for $30 per day! PRO: location was great!

Great view but needs work

Amazing view of gulf, but the property needs deep cleaning and repairs. Some repairs could be done in a day. The questionable black mold in the master bedroom was my biggest complaint. Dirty walls and nasty floors. Wobbly chairs and table are minor fixes. I wish the room was cleaner for the price we paid is all.

Overall great

The property is very nice along with always knowing your belongings are safe. The beach was disappointing they contract out chairs and umbrellas for guest well for people who bring there own stuff there is no room for a very good ways to setup. They put them right next to each other and right on the water. By law was suppose to be 30 feet back and spaced apart they did not follow. So for that reason next year we prolly choose a different condo.

Accommodating but dated

Clean, all appliances worked, closed off balcony was awesome, great views, quiet part of the beach, nice non heated pool, Waves market just a couple blocks down the road. Very dated apartment, fixtures, fans, furnishings, lights, outlets, all need replaced. Refrigerator sounds like a Blue Angel taking off. Was warned by a permanent resident that the only working elevator does get stuck between floors (never happened to us). The other elevator has been out of commission for a while we were told (they were working on it). If the owner would put some money into the place, it'd be a favorite.

Can't Beat the View, but Condo Needs Work

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The best thing about this condo is the location (west beach away from the busy part of town) and the view of the ocean from the sun room. With that said, we were very disappointed with the condo itself. When we first walked in the door the smell of urine/mustiness would knock you down. The hall bath was to blame. There were NO cleaning supplies in the condo so we had to buy bathroom cleaner, disinfectant,rubber gloves, air freshener, and cleaning rags from the grocery store and spent the first night there cleaning. The sheets had sand and hair in them and there were fresh food stains on the comforter, so we had to strip the beds and wash everything before bed. The mattress cover was DISGUSTING and falling apart...washed that too. The dryer had at least a half cup of sand in it, and thankfully there was a vacuum there to vacuum it out. The couches and recliners were covered in hair and stains, so we covered those with the sheets from the pull out bed. The master toilet rocked when you sit on it and the Keurig coffee maker didn't work. There were also several ceiling tiles in the bathrooms that looked to have water damage and were caving in.

Scrub A Dub Dub

Needs updating no doubt which I can accept in an older property. The issue is this property stinks like cigarettes and is in need of a very deep cleaning. The floors, base boards, tubs, ceiling are black with filth. New cleaning crew is needed!! Ceiling fans are super noisy which is a problem because the bedrooms get hot at night. If we weren’t staying during a holiday, we would have requested a different property. Srub it down!!

Great views ...

Great views. I could just about overlook the age and upkeep of the property because of the great views of the beach. Still, I will note that there was some obvious cleaning that needed to happen (e.g., a used, empty water bottle on the floor) and deep cleaning that was needed (e.g., one of the twin beds was moved slightly, and there was old trash under the bed).
