Stay was great, ocean was beautiful as always. One toilet in the condo was unusable. It wouldn’t flush, even empty with no toilet paper it had to be plunged down. That was a disappointment but we made due sharing the other bathroom. Also would have been nice to have coffee filters, but we picked some up down the street for cheap. Overall, good stay!

Great stay, too early checkout

The condo was clean and met all our expectations. Checkout time was at 9am, which is way too early! Nobody wants to wake up early on vacation, especially to pack, clean and leave. We could also hear every step the people upstairs took

Nice getaway

We enjoyed the condo very much but it was loud at night. Not sure it was construction work or other guest upstairs. The property was very pretty and we used the pool twice. I have medical issues but walked to the beach so it’s very close to get to. We enjoyed listening to the frogs at night & giving the ducks bread. We would go back for sure.

Clean, roomy, a home away from home!

This was the first time I've used VRBO, but it will definitely not be the last. This condo was beautiful, spacious, and perfectly comfortable for the 4 of us! Two bedrooms with queen (I think) sized beds, plus a pull out couch, and a cute tiny pull out sofa in one of the bedrooms, with a small toilet room easily accessible through the living room/kitchen area, and another full bathroom between the bedrooms. I loved the little closets between the bathroom and bedrooms - they made me less nervous that I was going to wake someone when taking an early morning shower. Walking distance to a nice, clean, not overcrowded beach, and a short drive to the pier behind Alvin's (which houses plenty of Pokemon Go stops, if you're into that sort of thing.) If you're looking to stay on Pensacola Beach, definitely consider this condo!

Not what was advertized

The location of the condo is my complaint. Ir was advertized as beachfront and it was far from it. The view from the condo, were more condos. I was extremely disappointed. However, the inside of the condo was decent. The washer did leak.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Girls and I enjoyed your condo. This is the first condo we ever rented and it was just as described. Enjoyed reading the journal from the owners and past guest. It was a quiet, non crowded part of the beach. Simply beautiful waters, so clear you could see jellyfish, dolohins speeding through the waters and more. The only thing that I would like to see added to the condo is an exterior light at the front door. Sometimes coming back at night it was hard to find the keyhole. Overall it was great!

problem with AC

We arrived a bit late, 8PM, due to traffic. Upon arrival the AC was not working and it was 89Degrees in the house. We contacted guest services and did not get an AC vendor onsite for 2 hours. It was 11PM and the temp in the house was still 86. I would appreciate some consideration for a discount on the first night. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for this review Julie. We sincerely apologize for the AC issues upon your arrival and do appreciate you reporting them to us right away. From the first call we received we worked diligently to get the system back online and are so happy that we were able to get everything repaired for you that evening. Thankfully it has not had any problems since then. We do hope we will see you again in the future. Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team

Better than the pictures

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 5 recently stayed in this condo in June of 2016. The condo was very nice! The pictures don't do it justice. Lots of updates, modern, very homey and clean. And PLENTY of storage! I couldn't believe how much storage for a 2 bedroom apartment it had. Everything we needed was there: beach chairs, sand toys, beach towels, kitchen utensils and gadgets, etc. The only reason we had to call the staff was because the towel racks fell off the wall and a screw was loose on the hot water shower faucet that would allow you to turn the hot water on. It was replaced on the first call and good to go! Great location to the beach and pool, about a 3 min walk through the resort. The beach was beautiful, quiet and super clean. We would definitely stay here again!

Too crowded and not "on the Gulf"

The condo was beautiful and very comfortable. It is not however " on the Gulf". It was quite a little walk to the beach. The ceiling is very thin or either the people above us were playing basketball from 7 in the morning until 1 at night every day. Not at all peaceful. Do not close the back sliding glass door on the balcony or you will have an extremely hard time getting back in. Luckily my husband went out with me and was able to get the door back open. It is very hard to open from the outside. The view from our balcony was nice with the little pond and the Oleanders but still wasn't even a beach view. The beach was very crowded but probably because this place is surrounded by lots of other condos. I guess I should have done a little more research so no ones fault but mine. Either way, we will probably not be back here.

nice property, nice stay, wasn't in the room much but Saturday tried to watch some college football, TV system in living room was terrible, no guide on the TV, the paper guide was difficult and hard to find channels, the TV in the back bedroom did not work at all... a very minor inconvenience but ended up having to watch the games sitting in the bed as that system had a guide and i could find the games easily.... other than that the place was great!

Very old, worn-out apartment with LOTS of issues!

A HUGE disappointment! We stayed at this place with my family: my husband and 3 kids. This place needs a MAJOR makeover. It was our impression that it hasn't been renovated since 1980s, if not 70s. Everything from the apartment itself to furniture was so worn out and outdated! The windows and the door to the balcony are so old, that they do not open and/or broken to the point that they come off the railing when you try to open them. There were only a few closets that weren't even functional/usable (dusty and filled with owner's stuff). The "leaves" of the drop-leaf table in the kitchen were wobbly and things kept sliding off the table. There were only 2 chairs to use! There was no kettle or coffee maker. The bathroom drain plug wouldn't stay open. It's a shame that they charge this much for such an old place!

Hello Jeyla, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are sorry you feel this unit is in such bad repair. This property gets wonderful reviews from our past guests! We have had the patio door repaired, and the windows inspected (they were found it be in good working order). All of our properties have a standard drip coffee maker. If this property did not have one upon arrival we would have brought one right to you, had we been made aware. We will pass along your feedback regarding the closet space, seating options, the drain plug, and kitchen table to our management team for review. We would love the opportunity to host you again to show you a truly sweet Southern Stay. Sunny Regards, Your Southern Team
