Excellent beach condo!

This condo was perfect for us and the location was great too. Right on the beach and not overcrowded even on the 4th of July. The unit was clean and exactly as described online with an incredible view. We were sad to leave and will definitely be coming back to stay here again.

A great beachfront choice

This condo was exactly as described in the listing. We received a call an hour early to check in. The condo was spotless and very well stocked. We enjoyed our 3 days on the beach and took advantage of the beach chair service each day. A great place all around. Thanks for a great visit. We will definitely return.

Relax and rewind

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at GD514. We spent a lot of time enjoying the spectacular view of the Gulf. We intended to dine out, but the view was so beautiful we ordered a lot of take-out to enjoy the amazing view. The condo was clean and was ready for an early check-in. Our only suggestion is to replace the bedroom carpet with solid flooring such as tile or laminate. I feel that the carpet doesn't clean as well and isnt up to the same standards as the rest of the condo.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 May 2025
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you had a wonderful stay at GD514 and that you were able to relax and take in those spectacular Gulf views—sometimes takeout with a view really is the best option! We also appreciate your feedback about the bedroom carpet. We understand that solid flooring can feel cleaner and more up to date, and we'll certainly pass along your suggestion to the appropriate team for consideration during future updates. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us—we’d love to welcome you back soon!
