Stay was wonderful. Great unit and location. Denise was very responsive. Elevator did not work for most of stay and building is still undergoing repairs from hurricane damage, but that did not stop us from having a fantastic time

You were easy tenants! Thank you
Come backđđŽ
We had a fantastic stay for a month at this property! It's beautiful and the view is stunning! Great communication, nice pool, and everything you could wish for!
This is the second time we have stayed at this property and it has been great both times. It is a great unit with three bedrooms, a beautiful ocean view, and a huge patio area. There are 30 units in this condo complex and this one is clearly the best one. Would happily stay there again next year.
This property is lovely. The location was perfect and the patio is fabulous. We enjoyed our stay and hope to go back.

The gulf shore location was ideal with beautiful views and easy access to the Gulf beaches and waters. The 3rd floor condo did not have access to a working elevator and the stairwell doors were improperly propped open. The beauty of the location offset the inconveniences mentioned above.
The balcony was wonderful. However, they were grinding on the outside of the building from approximately 8 to 4 every day. However, we did have a nice time and suited our needs.

I am so sorry there were renovations going on in the building. The building is perfect. Sorry about the remodeling. Please come back and we'll give you a discount for your inconvenience.
We have stayed at The Rose in the past, but this unit, with its huge patio, is simply magnificent and transforms the experience. Thanks for sharing it with us. As a postscript, the neighbors were very welcoming. A great place. Highly recommended.
Unit was as advertised. A couple glitches but nothing that would stop us from coming back.
Patio is awesome ! Well furnished and huge ! Already booked next year weeks.

Awesome property on the ocean
The accommodations in this unit were awesome. Beyond our expectations. The unit was spacious and clean. The patio was amazing. We spent most of our time on the patio watching the sunsets and listening to the ocean sounds. We all enjoyed our vacation. Great R&R after the holidays. Thank you to the DeVores for sharing this bit of paradise with us. We look forward to returning soon.

Its always a blessing to share our property with your and your family.
thank you!
My family and I had the most wonderful time in this beautiful beachfront condo. The building is a secure building, the condominium is an end condo which means you only have neighbors on one side. The view of the beach is to die for and the patio/porch was amazing. The unit is beautiful and exactly what we wanted. We were looking for a vacation spot without all of the commercialized rides and attractions that are so overwhelming at other locations. We needed just relaxation of the beach and swimming pool. Although, if attractions are what you like, this location is great since there are many attractions with a 20 mile radius.
I cannot say enough about the owner, Denise. Talked with her on several occasions and she went above and beyond any VRBO owner I have ever dealt with.
I WILL BE BOOKING THIS SAME CONDO OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO CREATE WONDERFUL MEMORIES WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE!â€ïž

The youđâ€ïž
Our stay at The Rose was wonderful. The property is as pictured and described. The positives include: communication with owner was timely and Denise was responsive to issues as they came up. The air conditioning stopped working while we were there, but it was taken care of within a couple days. We needed extra towels and Denise had the housekeeping staff drop some off. As others have mentioned, there is no closet in the master bedroom, which was a minor issue. I also think some of the pillows are due for replacement. The beach is gorgeous and just out the door. The patio absolutely made the vacation for us. You have a spectacular view with comfortable seating and dining. Writers are correct in saying you cannot use the propane fireplace ; however, we placed 5-6 electric candles from the Dollar Store on the âfireâ table and the effect was beautiful. Hope we get the chance to stay again. Thanks, Denise!
We were very happy with the fact that it had a beautiful beach view, and a big patio to relax on, eat meals on throughout the day and watch the beautiful sunsets.
Unfortunately, the property didn't completely work for us.
As soon as we arrived, we noticed that the floors were comprised of very large and shiny tiles. They were a slip hazzard, especially any time the floors either in the inside or on the patio would become sandy or wet. We ended up having a few slip and falls and bunks on the head. Due to this, someone always had to watch over and walk after our daughter during our whole 2 week stay. Also, the entry way from the beach to the property entrance is also very slippery when wet. We also fell there a couple of times and saw other guests of the building fall too.
Another issue we had, just like another renter mentioned is that the conditioner unit stopped working properly to cool the unit. We waited a couple of days, thinking it would reregulate on its own, since arriving it was working, but it didn't. So we called the owner and she had someone come out after we reached out to her in about a day and a half. The air conditioner man mentioned there was a leak, they filled it and left. It could potentially be a problem for future renters as well since the cause of the leak wasn't fixed just filled in with fluid.
We also had 6 beach towels, when there were 8 of us staying. Said we would get some more, but never did.
Also had different workers a couple times come during our stay to do things at the property, so that caused a slight inconvenience.
Other than that, the views of the beach are great, and the pool is nice to have for rough ocean days.

We are so sorry that you got the floors wet. We have never heard of people having a fall inside because they brought in sand and water. We have outside showers to clean you off so youâre clean of sand when you arrive.
The air conditioner was fixed as soon as the ac man could get there.
Hope you arrived home safely.đ
Warning--take pictures of ANYTHING that is even slightly out of place in the house, as owners have blamed us for so much that we have not done. Iâm providing the list below so you can note for yourselves if you choose to stay here:
Here are all issues upon arrival
A painting above the fireplace has cracked glass.
A doorhandle to go outside in the master bed was screwed off.
The towel holder in the bathroom broke the very first time my husband pulled the towel off of it.
There was melted wax on the wood next to the TV.
Some of the decorative balls on the coffee table have become unwound.
The sink would not drain in the guest bathroom. We did contact the owner about this but they still tried to charge us for it.
The rug in the living room was disgusting.
Every pillow had large yellow drool stains all over it.
Sheets in the master were stained.
The air filter was absolutely grime-filled.
I had to sweep up about 15 or so tiny dead bugs on the right hand side of the fireplace.
The cleaner broke the kitchen sink drain and we were blamed. It was working when we left.
Here is all of what we had to purchase on our own during our stay
Air filters
Plumbing solution for the sink that would not drain
New pillows for all beds as the ones int he house were vomit-inducing.
Sheets for the master
A new broom because the ones that were there were useless with all of the sand.
Here is what we did mess up (things happen, right?):
My daughterâs pink shirt bled into the bath towels-- we replaced the two that we thought were bad-- we have been charged to replace 8.
I broke a Mikasa wave bowl-- I bought a replacement on my own and had it shipped to the condo. No one would have even noticed it was gone, but weâre decent people and we respect the places we visit. I've NEVER had an issue with anywhere we've been.
We also had the wrong checkout date in our head (silly us, I know), but we were out within the hour once we realized our mistake. The cleaner was able to start cleaning while we moved out, and she was really flexible and said she had plenty of time to clean multiple times.
There was also Red Tide during our stay, which meant dead fish all up and down the beach, all of us were coughing terribly, and my husband, we found out, is allergic to the toxin.
I guess we were pretty naive in shrugging our shoulders and handling things ourselves or considering things wear and tare of a rental property. It came back to bite us at the cost of $235. Unbelievable.

We have cleaners in after every stay. Rarely do we get people that have left our unit in disarray with broken items.. These people left the unit in need of immediate repair. Our cleaners are great with cleaning everything but not when repairs are needed. We had to hire extra people to come in and repair handles that were hanging off their bases. Please note our excellent reviews. Rarely do we get someone who has made our cleaners call us to get a repaiman in.
Wir hatten 3wunderschöne Wochen.
Die Wohnung ist sehr groà und gut eingerichtet. Die Terrasse ist unbeschreiblich schön, sehr groà und schöne Sitzgelegenheiten.
Das beste ist aber der Sonnenuntergang direkt vor der Terrasse.
Der Strand ist sehr sauber und nur wenig besucht.
FĂŒr uns war es der perfekte Urlaub.
We had a wonderful 2 week visit and even the colder and windy days couldnât take away from the view. Kitchen is pretty well stocked with utensils, pans and dishes. The unit was nice and clean which we appreciated! There is an indoor fire place but not sure if itâs able to be used, I didnât ask but it would be good to know for the next time we visit if we have some chillier days. Maybe itâs electric or gas. The Patio is huge!! Once again weather didnât cooperate to use it much but next time! Denise was in touch and very sweet. We would recommend.
Loved having Xmas on the beach! Loved the patio. Great location! Only negative was neighbors above sending down ashes and candy onto the porch. Not a big deal. Nice coffee shop across the street! Someone set of super fireworks on New Year's Eve! We had fun,

Great Location/Unit Needs Some Love
We are very familiar with this area. The physical location of the unit is wonderful - close to great restaurants, the PIE airport, things to do, etc. Unfortunately, the pictures shown in the listing are dated and do not accurately reflect the current condition of the unit. It is in need of a thorough cleaning, minor repairs and replacement of broken/worn items. In addition, linens and towels need to be replaced. Items that are not disclosed in the listing: there is no closet in the master bedroom; while the deck/patio is huge and a great view, there is literally no privacy from other residents; the firepit shown cannot be used (we bought a propane tank and were informed by an unidentified resident that this was illegal). The listed "new sanitizing process" is not being followed. Money needs to be put into the property to bring it back up the "top notch elegant property" it may have once been.

This is not correct information from your end at all. If there was problem, you needed to let us know. We constantly have people rebook every year from us because it is perfect with new furniture, on the beach, and in top notch condition. Clean towels are provided by our cleaners. No one told you to go and buy a tank for our fire pit. Because they are not legal we just have the gorgeous table there but no propane tank in it. There are constant cleanings for this property. Your comments are not fair and ridiculously critical of an impeccable unit. Our renters after you raged about how perfect it is. There are no dated items. The furniture on the patio and inside the unit are all new. I am here now..Broken and worn items?? Really? I dont know what you are talking about. You knew we were a phone call away and didnt try to let us make it better for you. We would have rectified any issues. You did nothing to let us know.
We are very familiar with this area. The physical location of the unit is wonderful - close to great restaurants, the PIE airport, things to do, etc. The patio is 20 x 30 and perfect. I dont know why you would not call us.
This was our second year at The Rose and we had a marvelous two weeks. The condo is lovely, well kept and spacious and the huge patio overlooking the Gulf is an added bonus. The grounds and pool are well maintained and shopping and restaurants are close by. The gorgeous beach and Gulf waters gave us hours of swimming and fun in the sun. We are already checking our calendar for a return visit next summer. Thanks Deniseđ
