Excellent location & nice room
Location was hard to beat. Room was nice with an amazing view. Just a little heads up. There aren’t many easily accessible plug-ins in the bedroom and no overhead lighting. Only lamps. Not a major issue but sometimes hard for my older eyes to see when getting ready😂

Nice Stay on the Beach
Great location and great communication with management.. Furnishings are a little dated and TV rather small and only a half roll of toilet paper in each restroom and no coffee filters. Nice stay overall.

Great locations and views.
I thought location was great…morning breakfast with a beach view each morning. Small issue annoying is that you have to go pick up keys and then drop off. They rental company is not near condo so you need to take into especially if you need to get to an airport.

Would have been great, but . . .
We didn’t get to stay at this location. Balcony work being done. We actually had to change locations a third time before we had a place to stay! We would have liked very much to stay at this location. Perhaps construction projects should be pulled off VRBO rather than disappointing clients. Perhaps we’ll try again.

Very easy to get to, loved the view of the ocean. The security guard working was very nice and would speak when I was sitting on the balcony. The balcony was right above the walk way to the beach. I would stay here again.

thanksgiving get away
This property is great. it is directly over the walkway to the beach . people watching is great . the sand and suds bar closed for the year the night we arrived but so much other stuff near by it's great . florabama is just a short drive away . also the breakfast at live bait is awesome . be sure to go at night the music is just rite. The beach is great. watching the birds bug the fisherman for scraps is funny . the oil rigs in the gulf are lit up at night and it's a site to see .next time we are going to visit O W A and tanger outlet . just not enough time and way to many small bars to check out . the cove was good . yep i liked it . the iron bowl was on tv so the atmosphere was highly charged . good time people watching .

Decent stay for a good price
The view was great and the place was pretty nice on the inside! Minor complains- our beds were sandy when we got there plus sand all over the floor, the oven is weird and can’t use stove and oven at the same time, there were only three chairs at the table and not four (not the biggest deal but a little weird), there were dirty linens under the side table in the living room. And if you are in the master bedroom the elevator is right next to it so it can be pretty loud and annoying. We only stayed for a short trip so it worked out for our stay. Nice location, cute little place, and great view!

Beach trip
Condo was just as pictured. Very nicely updated. Did not realize there was a separate laundry downstairs, which was a little inconvenient. I had also paid for 2nd parking pass for my daughter who was meeting me there. The security guard kept putting tickets on the cars for having 2 vehicles. Called property manager who promptly called to clear up and was told this was due to construction vehicles there, but they would let it go since they didn’t know this. Despite that call, guard continued to put notes on cars, and lot wasn’t even full!🙄

Very Clean & Recently Remodeled
The condo was very clean and looks like it was recently remodeled. The check-in process was easy. There were enough linens and towels for our needs. The condo is in a great location so it is convenient to drive to grocery stores, restaurants and other attractions. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. I enjoyed my stay and will be renting here again.
