Memorial Day weekend stay
We decided to book a VERY last minute trip to the gulf for Memorial Day Weekend. That being said, we went in expecting that we’d gotten the “runt of the litter” with availabilities for the price and proximity to the beach. Not at all! Cute little place. Comfortable beds, plenty of space for us and our 2 teens, extra bonuses (activities) came with the stay, great pool, and so close to everything while still being not over crowded. We had an issue with the air conditioning leaking. The rental management sent someone out, and it was determined that it was a condo association issue. The condo association never got back with us so we did what we could to prevent further water damage. But the management company (Austin and Chris were who I dealt with upon check in) were accommodating and so pleasant to deal with.

VERY BAD
The trip started with the property manager informing us there was a leak and had to be a hose draining into the ONLY bathtub/bathroom in the unit. She also lied saying “there are no other units available on the island for you.” In isolation- the hose would be no big deal as she said they’d be out to fix on Monday. However, upon arriving at the unit. It was terrible. Mold and rust in the bathroom, dirty, blinds across the sliding door that didn’t work, an old, dirty, wobbly horrible outside table. It was absolutely horrific and we checked out early as we learned there certainly were other units available. This was unsanitary and DANGEROUS for my small children.

While you can tell they haven’t made it to the bathroom yet as far as updates, everything was nice and functional! No issues at all during our stay. 😁

Amazing stay!
This was an outstanding location and a wonderful stay for our family vacation! Close to everything but still private enough to be away from all the hustle of tourists! Definitely a place to stay again!

Great stay
We stayed in this unit during the fourth of July week. The island was very busy but the resort was quiet. This unit had several updates and was clean, however the sliding glass door to the patio needs replaced badly. The bathroom could use some updates but again was clean. Other than that the unit was super convenient and had plenty of room. We definitely enjoyed our stay.
