A1 Penthouse
Nice place, but the oven didn't work, nor did the jacuzzi tub jets and ran out of hot water before it was even half full. Dryer didn't heat up very well, so it took forever to dry anything. Also it's up on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators.

Wasnt handicapped accessible
The internet didnt work , the front refrigerator didnt get cold on the bottom half, hot water was very limited. Also its not handicapped accessible when i put that as a filter this unit pulled up as handicapped accessible. My sister is in a wheelchair most of the time so that was very hard to get her up to the penthouse .

Our stay
Stayed in penthouse A1. There was no lighting in the stairwell. All cabinets and drawers should have knobs on them. The 2 bedrooms on the right side of the penthouse were extremely warm. Parking passes were mentioned , but none were left. Nice place overall. Great view of the Gulf. Very clean and would recommend to a friend.

Nice weekend
We had a wonderful time staying at the condo. The inside is very nice and it was one of very few condos that had 3 beds size full or bigger. The only complaint I have is that the parking for the penthouse was tight for a full size vehicle doable but tight. The beach access was very nice too, easy to get out there, but not busy. All in all it was a great weekend!

End of summer getaway
Nice location close to everything especially the beach. It is an older property with cosmetic flaws but overall nice place with lots of room for large groups or a few couples. All the photos are very accurate to the accommodations within the condo. Biggest disappointment was the windows in the sun room really looked forward to sitting in the evening with them open to listen to the waves crashing in, however the side balcony doors do allow a lot of sound to come up into the room. We are very hot natured and keep a cool house 68-69 so when the thermostat automatically resets to 74 every couple hours we were very annoyed to say the least I woke up in the middle of the night every night to turn it back down. Going up and down the stairs were by far the hardest part of the stay it is definitely not recommended for seniors to rent this property.

Great Location But A Few Snags
The Good: Location is right on the beach. Floor plan and sleeping situation was perfect for our group of 7 adults and one toddler. Building is somewhat older but comfortable. Food market only minutes away by foot was very convenient. Covered parking was very handy and we stored beach stuff in the cars, which saved us from carrying it all up the stairs and kept the sand out of the unit. One of our cars was an SUV with a car top carrier. It was too tall for the covered parking so we had to leave it out in the sun. The sun room and balconies were very nice... great views, always a breeze, felt like you were on the beach but only steps away from the fridge. The kitchen was well supplied with cookware and appliances. We did receive a message advising us of limited amounts of trash bags, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, bath tissue, bath soap, etc. It would have been nice to get this information sooner since we were already packed and on the road when we found this out. The Bad: Our check in time was 4:00, but received a text at 3:00 letting us know we would not be able to get in until 6:00 because the cleaners were running late. Pretty much screwed up our first evening. To walk to the beach you must pass through a locked gate. In the unit there were 2 key fobs which provided access. With 7 adults, 2 fobs were not enough. I called to try to get more but was denied. The convienience of being right on the beach was offset a bit by having to constantly shuffle the key fobs around everytime someone went back or forth. The other: We ended up using Ike's beach service to rent an umbrella and a couple chairs. This service was very convenient and tho not cheap, well worth not having to set stuff up and take it down every day. In conclusion I felt this rental was a good value and we had nice time staying there. If I went back with the same group of people, I might shop around just to compare but wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again.
