One tiny roll of bathroom tissue per bathroom, few worn towels, one bed sagged in the middle, no blow dryer. The elevator broke on Sunday afternoon and by Monday morning, no one had come to fix it. We are over 80, and this was a REAL problem. The contact I spoke with on the phone was pleasant and eager to help the problems we were having with VRBO’s (?) tech in getting signed in. Give her a raise. Beach view was lovely and our unit was clean. Dark beach good
Stayed 3 nights in May 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 29 May 2026
Upon booking and sent several times before arrival, you are informed that we only supply a starter set of paper products. This is an industry standard here in our area. The elevator issues are out of our control, but clearly a problem with being on a higher floor. We do hope you would change your star rating and base it on the home itself and the service you received, which is in our control.

It was a nice condo with a very nice view of the golf of Mexico.

Everything was very nice, and it had a very convenient location. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

Manager was great. Location was great. There were a few things that I was concerned with. But mostly the mold in the condo being covered up.
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept 2025
We are glad you had a great time. We are sorry for your confusion, but we did not "cover up mold". As explained before, when we came to clear your toilet, our maintenance man noticed microbial growth around the a/c vent. He treated it with killer then painted Kilz over it to prevent further growth. A/c ducts have been cleaned since your departure and there was no further growth. This happens frequently in these older, concrete buildings that do not have exhaust fans in the bathrooms. We hope you would raise your star rating.

Great view & location

It should’ve provided quality toiletries. Great location. Easy check in & check out process. It will be great to have blinders in the living room. Also, not dryer & washer machines inside the unit. That wasn’t clear enough when we booked.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 9 June 2024
Hi Roger, The "Get Ready" email you receive as soon as you book lists exactly what we provide and what we don't as far as toiletries. Since we are not a hotel and nothing is onsite, we only provide the starter pack of those things. The washer and dryer being onsite and not in the condo is clearly listed in the description of the property before booking. We are glad you enjoyed your stay however and appreciate your business.

Very nice place to stay. The view of the beach is stunning. We spent most evenings listening to the waves. We had a few items not right when we checked in. Some light bulbs out and missing batteries in some remotes.The response to the problems was quick and thorough! Thanks!
