The only issue we had was with the parking passes, we had to wait to get our rental car in order to fill out the 25 dollar registration, then they sent us an email with the pass but we had no way to print it.
Had a great trip with a very nice condo. Everything was as advertised! Loved it!

Condo was great and very well stocked. Views were stunning. Beach access was great if you could get an elevator (our only complaint was the out of service elevator issue).

We had a GREAT week at the beach! Having the chairs included was fantastic! We came for our daughter to play in the World Series and they came in third place out of 37 teams! Our condo was amazing and we would recommend to anyone who asks us! Everything we needed and more was there! We appreciate you sharing your place with us for a week and can’t wait to come back!

We’ve stayed in a lot of different condos throughout the years and honestly this is one of the best we have stayed in. It just felt so homey and vacation-y at the same time. Very well stocked with kitchen items, beach toys, towels and the complimentary beach chairs (a lifesaver)!

Beautiful condo, very clean and had everything we needed. Loved that the beach chair service was included. We didn’t have to haul down chairs and umbrellas everyday. This was so convenient with three small children. Beautiful place!

Really a nice condo would stay there again. Only negative I can say about the property but not the condo is if your planning on traveling back and forth in a vehicle it’s a long haul from the condo to the parking garage. Pools were nice room was nice they were doing some remodeling

The unit was very nice and clean on arrival. Fully stocked with everything you need. Overall a very nice clean unit. Would highly recommend. The free beach service was a plus too!!
I have stayed in a lot of condos in the years. This room and unit was wonderful. It had everything we needed to make it feel like an extension of our home.
The condo is very nice. Clean. Lots of linens. Beautiful view. The beach chair service is very nice. The elevators at the facility is an issue, I know at high rises there is always a delay but it was more than that. Everyday at least another elevator was not working, out of order.

Thank you! Your positive feedback is much appreciated. We look forward to your return.
We loved our stay here & would love to come back in the future! The balcony was spacious and private and we spent a lot of time there. The condo was comfortable and fit our needs and it was so convenient being able to cross the street through the skybar. It was great having a tiki bar, gift shop, and Starbucks on property. Loved that the beach chairs were included and we didn’t have to worry about having a spot every day. We normally go to Destin or Gulf Shores since they’re closer to home but it was worth the extra driving for the beautiful water. We walked to dinner from the beach one night. This was truly a relaxing and stress free vacation spot!

Can’t wait for your next stay! 🌊☕️🏖️
We had a great week at this location. Close to a lot of things! We went during the Spring Break rush.
We never waited longer than 5 minutes for an elevator the whole week.
The bed does have a very soft mattress topper like other reviews had stated. We found it comfortable!
The unit was well stocked with everything you needed already in place.
The beach chairs pictured on the listing aren’t the exact same ones offered on the beach, but it was still such a nice bonus to booking this unit!
The host was very responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip. We enjoyed our week at the beach!
