Lots of room. Great view. We had a fabulous time! Only negative - not enough blankets in the condo. Some soft throws in Living Room world have been nice. Overall we would recommend this condo!
Enjoyable experience with wonderful accommodations! Was advised to pack hair dryer, thou there were 3 in the condo. Also though not indicated, discovered 2 chairs and umbrella were also included for beach use. Gorgeous beaches and was thrilled to see sting rays and dolphins!

Enjoyed my stay having my 5 Grand children and their parents come and visit me there! Great beach!
The condo does need a broom and scoop. We found it difficult to clean outside porch and kitchen area without one. Outside of that it was perfect! Thank you!

Hi Renee thank you for your review and feedback. We are glad to hear you had a great experience with us. We hope to host you again soon here on the Gulf Coast! Your Southern Team
The unit is very well appointed, the views are fantastic. Everything was great...however I would recommend 2 small things.1 instructions how to operate the televisions and start collecting restaurant menus and a phone book to browse for food deliveries, good restaurants...etc...fortunately we have been to the area many many times and knew our destinations. Otherwise....when only the best will do...grab this wonderful place.

Unfortunately, there was no WiFi at the property. PM kept advising us to find the router and reset it but there was no router in the unit. PM replied promptly to inquiries but no one was ever dispatched to troubleshoot the issue.

Great Location and View
The location, view, and balcony were amazing. The primary bedroom had updated furniture, as well as the living and dining room. The bunk room furniture was cheap and did not seem stable, we did not end up letting our child sleep on the top bunk. The dressers in the secondary bedrooms were old and not very functional. The kitchen is a bit outdated, and the facets need updating for better function. The condo restrooms and kitchen were clean and the floors appeared to be clean. However, after being barefoot in the condo for 30 minutes, our feet were black from dirt. We would have appreciated the floors being mopped, not just vaccuumed and swept.
