This is a great condo, perfect for our stay. Large and accommodating. The only thing that was different is it doesn’t have a view of the pool, not a big deal for us, but heads up on that. We love the aqua these is out 4 year.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the condo was nice. A few maintenance and housekeeping items could use attention. The front bed frame was broken, which made the bed noticeably uneven. There was also a broken lamp, and the floors could have been cleaner when we arrived. Otherwise, we had a good stay and appreciated the accommodations.

I read some of the previous reviews on this condo at the time I booked it. I was optimistic and hoped it would suit our needs. This condo was great! From the walk-around balcony, the privacy, the cleanliness of the condo, the excellent communication, and the location to everything we love in PCB! The pictures do not do it justice. Someone previously complained about the views and that they were obstructed, and that was absurd! The views of ocean were great. The balcony is ultra private as well since it is on the end of the building. Aqua is very family friendly with two pools to enjoy. We will definitely be back again. I can’t say enough good things about our stay! Thank you for a wonderful beach trip with many wonderful memories made!

This was a great property. The information on VRBO is somewhat out dated. They do have a keurig and a standard coffee pot. The unit is bigger than the pictures lead to to believe. It was very clean and well taken care of. The bathrooms could have used a deep cleaning but not bad enough to cause any issue. The starter packs were wonderful. The host were amazing they checked on us to make sure we didnt have any issues and were amazingly friendly. I will be looking at other properties manages by this group for future vacations as well, as they made me feel they truly cared about our vacation.

Beautiful condo! We loved the oversized bunks, and the overall layout of the condo. However, the floors were not cleaned well. Our feet were absolutely disgusting after walking around. We went and bought a mop to clean the floors. The facility overall is amazing & Aqua will always be a fav!!

This is our favorite layout for our family of five at Aqua. However this condo needs some changes. The floors were disgusting. My husband and I wore shoes the whole time, but it was tough to keep them on my five year old constantly, so her feet stayed black while we were there. My 12 month old twins crawl around on the floor and their clothes were black every day. It just made the condo feel gross. The master tub had mold in the caulking and shower curtain. There were a few plugs without faceplates and some didn’t work. It’s a cute condo but the owners may want to change cleaning companies and give the condo a little love.

Nice trip

Great elevators. Room was ok. Facility was not as nice as i have heard but would stay again. Nice size resort not too big or small. Parking was good. Showers did not always work at pool bathrooms and handles missing on showers coming up from beach. No major issues

Aqua 511

The condo location was perfect and the room itself was perfect for us and our party of 8. Wish it would have been cleaner, looks like the housekeeper done the base clean. Dirty dishes in the cabinet and things looked quickly wiped down- just all in all a rushed clean. We cleaned it ourselves once we were in but that would be my only complaint. The resort had nice pools and beach access. I really liked that we were able to go straight to our room instead of having to go through the typical check in process. I would stay at this resort again and would recommend to friends and family.

Spring Break 2025

The condo was the perfect size and location for our family. We experienced several issues with the unit but they were resolved in a timely manner. The furniture in the living room is worn/stained. Hopefully they get the temp control repairs on the refrigerator. We had a few things freeze because the temp control wasn’t working. Aqua is a very nice place and location is wonderful! We will stay here again.

Great location and ez excess view from balcony limited furniture is a bit dated

Over all good curtains need to be washed or replaced (soiled and mold spots,return air vent is missing vent blades and ceiling fans were dusty. So over all room was manageable for our stay but if I was the owner I would want to know who’s over seeing my property (don’t let thing get out of hand)

Update property photos

The photos on VRBO when I booked showed a private corner balcony with privacy. These are obviously old photos. What I received was a balcony that had a new hotel with multiple floors looking into the balcony. Along with the hotel pool noise, hotel loud music and hotel cornhole at 8am. NEVER AGAIN. If the photos were a current representation of the actual view, I never would have booked it. Zero privacy

Nice room bad complex

Gulf Front was very responsive when i had a problem. However i would not recommend this condo complex. The location is good, but traffic was very loud. We had neighbors shooting fireworks off the balcony for three nights. We tried to call the condo complex to complain but no one ever answered the phone! They actually threw one on a lady at the pool. The condo itself was nice. Our air was out on our arrival but they did get that fixed the next day. The filter in the air unit was very dirty and looked like it had not been changed in awhile! Our towels and dishes were also dirty when we arrived we had to wash everything including our bed sheets. They did refund us our cleaning fee. As a buisness owner i do understand how hard it is to get employees to do their job!
