Wonderful view and balcony. Clean. Conveniently located. Good communication. Bright and open.Large TV in living room. Loft space with bathroom was great. It had a TV and so did the master. You can see the gulf from the window in the loft as well. The water was perfect and so was the weather. For dinner, try C Level and The Big Easy. Both were excellent. The shore was not overly crowded. Beach goers were well behaved. No loud music. No disturbances. Only a few young children. Very relaxing trip. The pool was clean and the pool are was well cared for. The third floor was great, even with the brief climb upstairs. Would rent again.

The check in process was good, rental company did a good job of helping us and communicating and the property has a lovely view of the gulf but that’s about all I can say positive about our stay at this condo. We knew the property had several flights of stairs and had no problem with that at all. The problem started when we tried to go to the loft bedroom. Those stairs were extremely dangerous even for 4 fit women. The stairs are very steep which was fine. The problem is those stairs are not only steep they are uneven and at different heights. We’ve had a property management company for years and we would never leave stairs like that in our properties. Definitely not per codes and VERY dangerous. To make matters worse, the air con left a layer of condensation on the floors and stairs leaving them slippery. The bedding upstairs was dirty and we saw German cockroaches in the kitchen. I would not stay here.

Location, location, location! This is what you are paying for. Right on the beach. Great view from the deck. Easy to get down to the beach. Beach was not particularly crowded. Parking was never a problem. This place is a little dated. Could use some freshening up. Downstairs bed was very comfortable. Kitchen is adequate. Could use some more drinking glasses. My only comments about the "not so good" factors would be that the condo is on the third floor (no elevator); the second story bedroom requires you to go up and down some really steep stairs, almost like a loft ladder so if you are not capable of doing those things, this is something you would want to know. My 32 year old son stayed up there so I never ventured up those stairs. Also, the outdoor deck is not covered so after a day at the beach it can be very hot out there as you are trying to enjoy the sunset. The unit does come with several beach chairs which was an added plus. All in all, we felt it was a good value for the money.

Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the unbeatable beachfront location, easy beach access, great views, and convenient parking — and that the space worked well for your stay. We also appreciate your helpful notes about the areas that could use refreshing, additional glasses in the kitchen, and the steep stairs to the loft bedroom. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be reviewing each item with our team. We’re glad the downstairs bed was comfortable and that the included beach chairs were a plus. Thank you again for staying with us — we’re happy to hear you found it a good value and hope to welcome you back to the beach soon.

Just okay

Property was very dated on the inside. Coffee maker was broken, but was replaced within 6 hours of management being notified. The refrigerator was not working properly and despite being informed multiple times, management never fixed or offered a short term solution. Several electrical outlets were also nonfunctional. The location and views were perfect though.

We thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear it was less than satisfactory, as we strive for 5 stars and want all our guests to have nothing but a relaxing time! This unit is as pictured, and we take pride in our units! As explained, we did have our appliance repair man out there just before your check-in, he fixed a part in the fridge and it did need a little time to cool back off, this went into your arrival. When we dropped off the coffee pot, we made sure to check on the fridge. Both the freezer and fridge were cool. We do hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future. All our best, Rent Relax Vacation Rentals.

Great location but accommodations were quite tight, and could definitely use upgrades and a good cleaning. Be very careful when accessing the upper bedroom as the steps are very narrow, steep, with small treads, and to make matters worse - have a handrail you cannot grasp. All of this resulted in a twisted ankle that could've easily cost me my vacation. Upper bathroom, which had a very low ceiling, had nothing but fans for cooling and struggled to keep temps below 90. When we stripped the beds to leave linens were covered in old stains. Clothes washer had black mold inside. Main bath low "contractor grade" ceiling tiles were ill-fitted and nearly falling from their grids. Vent fans contained so much dust they no longer functioned. Shower rod was rusted...but we loved proximity to St. Andrew's State Park!
Upstairs bath with low ceiling and poor air conditioning.
Beware of Primary staircase; it's a doozy.
Old stained linens we discovered on departure day that we'd been sleeping on - yuck...
Black mold growing in clothes washer.
