Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you found the space clean and well-equipped, and that communication was smooth. You were a wonderful guest and we’d be happy to host you again anytime.
Very nice little property, steps away from the Beach, but not right on busy Gulf Ave.The pool area and patio are very nice. Nice furniture, and the pool is heated. There is a gas grill, and Beach chairs and umbrellas for guests use. I rented the one bedroom. It had everything I needed for my two week stay.
Great communication from Christine. I love the location of the unit. Its perfect for a short walk to the beach. Pool is great after a day at the beach.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the place and the location — it really means a lot to hear that. It was a pleasure having you, and I’m happy I could help make your stay smooth and enjoyable. You’re always welcome back anytime!
The host was wonderful with communication. We had a very short stay so not many things were needed. The only problem was that the tv volume in the bedroom wouldn’t work on some platforms.

Hi Lanita,
I'm sorry, I somehow missed your comments about the place and was just looking over my reviews for the year and noticed I didn't respond to yours.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the communication — I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, especially during a short stay!
I’m sorry to hear about the TV volume issue in the bedroom on certain platforms. Thank you for mentioning it — I’ll be checking that right away to make sure everything is working properly for future guests.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime!
Warmly,
Christine

Great Stay and Location
The apartment is right across from the beach, minutes away from great restaurants, has a nice little pool, and is decorated just like my wife would've done. Couldn't have been happier with our stay.
Loved staying here this week. Christine was very helpful and nice. Our place was perfect! We have stayed here for 4 years and a row and don’t want to stay anywhere else. Thank you for being so helpful Christine
