Wonderful week long stay in this condo!

This was a great place - clean and comfortable as advertised with a great view of the beach and sunsets! We loved having our poodle Louie with us so we spent more time at Dog Beach by the Pier, but the beach at the Ambassador was superlative! The unit was cozy but plenty for our week long stay. We really appreciated the WiFi, two extra large TV's, nice kitchen and bath, as well as a comfortable bed. It was ideal for us and the hosts could not have been more communicative and accommodative - we would stay here again and certainly recommend others do the same!

Priceless Memories

My husband, son, and 3 1/2 year old granddaughter spent 5 nights in this unit and don’t have anything to complain about. We loved the location and unit had everything we needed for a wonderful trip. Jeff and Jill were very responsive and very easy to work with. We will definitely be repeat visitors.

Nice location. Bed was not comfortable an if queen it seemed small. Not really enough towels for 3 of us, glad I brought some. Fire alarm went off at 10pm our last night and took a little while to get fire department out there and shut it off. Woke us up. Nothing on fire. Was glad that it was on first level and it was clean. Host responded promptly to questions.

Great getaway but...

Wanted to love it. Cute, close to the beach, view, everything for home away from home, except shower soap, fresh beach towels.. smelled like wet dogs. Could be like home. LolDisappointment as not able to walk out the back to a patio to the beach, pool, hottub. Even though 1st floor. Have to walk through maze of stairs to get there. Bar across the street brought people in our parking area into the wee hours. Ear piercing fire alarm! Took fire department 15 min from alarm time to arriving. By then a grease kitchen fire would have been out of control. 2nd floor customers took too long of a hot steamy shower. Oh my! Warning love birds. Kept tv music on to drown out bar noise. TV selections are incredible though. Woke up multiple X w/people talking in front of door that had a broken latch lock and did not function.Freezing air conditioner/stale musty smell as it cycled on n off. Soft bed, you sink fast, no night stands-no space.Some stuff really right, more important things like security, soap, clean towels - over looked. Unswept under bed. Could be who's managing it and not the owners fault. Overall, won't be back alone or with family.

Terrible Trip

The host was very responsive and nice to allow us to check in early. The facility is not up to VRBO standards. You can't sit on the patio due to the hot air coming out of the window unit. The bed is not a king, its a queen at best and not a real bed, very uncomfortable. You have to walk up 2 flights of stairs to do laundry which are coin laundry and only 2 washers and dryers, very much an issue since we were only provided 4 towels and 4 wash clothes for a 7 night stay. Fire alarm goes off at 6:15 am due to someone trying to cook bacon, which further shows how old the building is without proper ventilation. No ice machine and 3 dinky ice trays. Old couch that couldn't even provide a comfortable sitting area. Not enough handicap parking. Very very small dog park, was told facility was dog friendly but couldn't take dogs on the beach.

Jeff & Jill's adorable condo sits directly on the beach. The condo was exceptionally clean and well stocked. Open up the patio doors and the scenery is breath taking.I would highly recommend this slice of paradise to anyone. We can't wait to go back.Jeff was extremely fast to respond to a lock situation that was completely our fault.

We enjoyed our stay with hosts Jeff & Jill. Everything was clean and the condo is beautiful. The unit is in a perfect location- easy walk from the parking lot and beautiful view of the pool and beach. Communication was great and the property itself was well-maintained. I was worried about parking with it being across from a restaurant, but it proved to be no issue. Reserved beach chairs were great. The beach was never too crowded in this area. Looking forward to coming back!

Beach is soooo close to the condo, you can just about feel the ocean mist on your face from your balcony. Great little space for your furries to do their business. Cute little galley kitchen perfect for the off nights when you eat in.

Great Week on the Beach!!

This is my 4th year in a row to stay at this condo and it is perfect! It is right on the beach, centrally located to all kinds of activities, and the decor is beachy and appealing. We had a wonderful time. There are beach chairs reserved for this unit and we simply walked the few steps to the beach, sat down and enjoyed the surf and the sun. When the sun's rays were too intense, the beach umbrella gave us shade. We had a wicked storm while we were there and Jeff was right on it; he was responsive to my calls and texts and everything worked out perfectly. The kitchen is small but highly efficient, and the appliances are A1. There is a new shower and tiling which contributed to the kind of feel you want to have on the beach. We hated to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Olson

Host profile image
My wife Jill and I have 4 units in the building. We live in Wisconsin with our two dogs (Oliver and Casper), but frequently visit PCB as we love it there. We also own a 4 bedroom gulf townhome near Pineapple Willys.

Why they chose this property

We love this building because of the location and small size of the development.
You can't beat this prime spot in PCB.

What makes this property unique

The condo is walking distance to Pier Park, Gulf World, Sharkeys, Shuckums, and many other attractions. A car is optional! Walmart is within walking distance as well for supplies and so forth. The views of the gulf are spectacular and sunsets are beautiful.
