The condo, beaches, and pool was beautiful!

We had a wonderful vacation! The condo was nice and clean. The decor was perfect for on the beach. The view of the ocean and pool from the balcony was amazing. We felt right at home. It was an added bonus that we were able to bring our Frenchie! We'll definitely be back as this was our best experience in PCB so far!

can not say enough nice things about this condo or the managers. We have been to PCB multiple times and this was by far the nicest trip we've had.

Great family friendly place!

Our family had a blast. Our son has ASD and delayed development. Every time we go on vacation there is a thought in the back of our mind that the booking company or the residents where we are staying won't be accepting. We were totally wrong to think that this time. Everyone was nice with Panama City Florida Resorts and the residents here at The Dunes were so nice and accommodating to our son. The condo was clean and nice. The views were breathtaking. We don't won't to wish our lives away, but we can not wait until next year. Thank you Michael and your staff for a great vacation.

Repairs needed

We felt the condo was overpriced for the repairs and work that needed to be completed. Management offered to come make repairs but who wants to deal with that during their vacation? Nobody that’s who. Vacations are for relaxing not worrying about messing with repairs and people in and out of your room during your stay. Have your place in order before people arrive.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
We are sorry that we were unable to have the repairs made during your visit. We respected your right to refuse entry although our insured and bonded staff would have made repairs while you were enjoying the beach or a nearby venue. Gulf Interlude is a popular unit in a popular resort. That means it is booked week after week for months without any down time. We have access to the unit for approximately 6 hours in-between departure and arrival of new guests. Since we do not typically know about maintenance issues until they are reported by a guest, and most of those are reported during departure, we lack opportunity to get repairs done during any "down time". As soon as you departed, the roller mechanism for the bedroom sliding door to balcony was replaced, that makes it easy to open and close the door again. We know it was difficult for you to use and we are sorry. The marks on the kitchen ceiling that had what we believe to have been grapes splattered on it has been cleaned, kilzed and painted. The baseboard in the main hall which was obviously run over by a luggage cart brought inside the unit, a violation of policy, has been repaired and painted. Again, we are sorry we were not allowed to make these improvements during your stay but the guests did respond with a rather aggressive denial when asked for permission to have the work done.

Property was nice and easy access to pool and beach

The condo had a great view of the beach and nice size patio for 4 adults and a toddler to sit comfortable. We enjoyed being able to bring our small dog with us. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the condo - carpet needs to be replaced and needs a deep cleaning along dust boards and bathrooms. We also had both our bathrooms clogged up where we could allow it to drain. The master bathroom wouldn't go back to a tub water after one day so it was difficult to give our baby a bath. The room sizes were good and the overall set up was nice - again just didn't feel clean which was disappointing. I would walk around barefoot in the condo.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
we are happy that you were pleased with the location, size, set up and decor of "Gulf Interlude" We regret that you had problems with drains and wish we had known that while you were in the condo. we would have come over and "snaked" the lines to correct the problem. We do not know that drains are slow unless a guest does report because cleaning the unit does not require as much water as showering and bathing. Guests in the unit since this visit haven't notified us of an issue. Due to this complaint, we will be "snaking" the lines today. The condo has had many upgrades during the past 2 months including: a new living room suite, new linens, new decorative pillows, new pictures in the living room, master bedroom and guest room. 3 new flat screen televisions, The Berber carpet is fine and has been cleaned and we've asked the housekeepers to give special attention to the baseboards. They are always touched up (paint) late fall due to damage and marks from vacuum and unfortunately, luggage carts! We provide a telephone and email contact for all of our guests upon arrival. Both of them are monitored 24 hours a day. We hope that guests will contact us anytime we can do something to enhance their satisfaction.

Disappointed

This unit was ran down to say the least. The paint was peeling off of the ceiling and walls. Carpet in the unit was extremely nasty. The door coming into the unit was steel and it looked like it had been broken into to the point that the door was coming apart. The shower valve in the master bath was leaking so bad that it leaked down into the unit below this unit so we had to quit using it. The washer dryer unit was in the pantry/ air conditioner closet and you couldn’t barely open the door on the dryer to put your clothes in and out.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
We are sorry the guests described their visit as a disappointment. Even after reading the review, we are still sorry that were were unable to extend the reservation granting a longer stay. There were in fact some issues that required attention during the guests stay. There was damage to the ceiling of the unit from above. The entire, throughout the condo ceiling has been textured and painted. There is not any peeling paint on walls, there has been damage to the baseboard in the main hall, this is a recurring problem from people bringing luggage carts into the unit. The baseboard repair and painting has been scheduled. The diverter valve in the master bedroom did break while the guests were in the unit. That was replaced while guests were there and is not an issue. The carpet was not and is not dirty. The carpet along with the one year old living room sofa, love seat and chair, all dining room chairs and 2 bedroom chairs were professionally steam cleaned the day after these guests left. We tried to get this done while they were there but the guests refused to let the Carpet Cleaning company into the unit. The front door is secure with 2 locks. It is metal and it has been damaged by having a luggage rack rammed into it. The place where the dent is, clearly matches the raised handle portion of the luggage racks. The resort association is aware of this, they are responsible for the outside portion of the door and have it on a list for replacement. The cosmetic blemish is slight. The washer and dryer are conveniently in the pantry. They are 2 years old and facilitate a full load. They are perfectly accessible to any normal size adult. We are sorry the guests were disappointed and glad that many of our guests are repeat guests. Anytime anyone is staying at Gulf Interlude we hope they will let us know while they are in the unit if they are less than 100% pleased and give us the opportunity to correct anything that needs attention. The condo is busy and during the busiest season, things may break down or stop working, i.e. the valve in one of the 2 bathrooms, unless we are notified we can't do anything about it. If guests are not respectful of the unit and leave with soiled carpet, etc. we need to be able to get into the unit to correct and put back into the pristine condition we want all of our guests to enjoy.

We had a great time at the Gulf Interlude! Lovely place! Exactly like the pictures! Granted there are a few things that could be given a little attention, but nothing that should hinder your stay or your good time. At least they didn't bother us! Kitchen had everything we needed.

Old and in need of some upgrades

Very Old and out dated kitchen oven door would not close completely,front door was busted and didn't open and close very well, sliding doors in living area are very hard to use we used the bedroom slider because of it,carpet was dirty you couldn't walk around in your socks without them turning black,all in all this was probably the worst condo we've stayed in out of the many. Beds were terrible both of them we tried the fold out couch is better but still terrible we end up the 4th and 5th night just trying to sleep on the couches. I would not recommend this unit to anyone. I'm sure there is more but don't have time right now to elaborate. I took some pics of different things but unfortunately there is no way to add them here

This bad review is very surprising. As awful as they describe, we can't understand why they gave us a 3 out of 5 and why they didn't report any of this while they were in the condo. We are also surprised because they are not describing Gulf Interlude. The kitchen refrigerator is less than a year old, the solid surface stove didn't have any problem with the door closing prior or after their visit. The microwave is 2 years old. the "busted" front door is metal and does have a dent in it from being hit with a luggage cart. It does open and close perfectly and it does have the door lock and a security lock attached to it. The slider in the living room had a new track installed just before summer and it does open much easier when the stick that's serving as an additional "lock" is removed from the track. The carpet was cleaned immediately after the guests departed, it did need it. We don't understand the black socks issue. We wish we had known the guests concern, we would have had it cleaned while they were out on the beach. It is cleaned by a local company and looks great now. We have never had complaints about the beds since replacing the box springs and mattresses. As one of the owners, I have stayed there myself and do have to adjust to the extra firm mattress in both rooms because I am not accustomed to that. They are in very good shape but they are "FIRM" The sleeper in the living room is a posture-pedic gold and the entire living room suite is less than 2 years old.

Condo not as stated

The property is very run down and dirty. Paint is coming off the walls and ceiling. Air conditioning does not work in the master bedroom. Carpet is filthy with dirt and stains. Wallpaper coming off walls as well. Dirt on walls and drapes. Rusty leaking pipes in the bathrooms. Mold and mildew on the ceilings and air conditioning vents. Hole in the bathroom ceiling and vent fan does not work. We left the property early and are in the process of getting our money back from the owner. My advice would be to find other accommodations and avoid this property.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
We are disappointed and shocked by this review. The condo has new furniture, new televisions, new linens, new refrigerator, new 1 ton Air Conditioner to name a few of the recent upgrades. There was a problem with exhaust fan - it has been replaced, there was a 2-3 inch seam coming undone in the bathroom wallpaper, it has been secured. there was food and or grease stain on the ceiling of the kitchen, the entire condo ceiling has been painted. We do an inspection the same day every guest arrives, we request they inspect as soon as they arrive and let us know by phone or email if ANYTHING is not to their liking so we can address, correct etc. it. These guests didn't let us know anything was not to their liking until the 3rd day they were in the condo and then refused to let us come in to make any corrections or inspection. We honored their demand that we stay out. The guests had another guest check in 2 days after they were there, they will be leaving tomorrow but have already booked for a week next September. We are not perfect but we want to be and we hope that all of our guests will desire to return. We are much more accustomed to that than to guests getting angry because we will not discount their stay when they make complaints the 3rd day of their stay and refuse to let us in to verify their report or to make corrections. We are sorry this guest was not happy.

We are sorry that the system does make it impossible for us to talk to potential guests prior to the reservation but we always try to answer every question through the system as soon as they appear. Once guests have completed the reservation request, Vrbo makes our contact information available and we are happy to hear from our guests. Additionally, we send a personalized guest contract/ rental agreement with much information and additional contact opportunities. Once guests arrive they are given a telephone number that is monitored 24/7 for our guests convenience..

Needs some updates

The location of the property was nice and the people at the management company were friendly. As far as the condo itself, some serious updating is needed. There were multiple light fixtures that did not control anything (I’m guessing this is where there was recessed lighting at one time in the bedrooms and living room because there wasn’t any there, only lamps), the exhaust vent in the master bathroom did not work and there was a hole in the ceiling with it, paint coming off the light fixture in master bathroom, and there is wallpaper peeling off in the second bathroom. In addition to all of this, we were interrupted two days by a service man trying to find and repair a leak someone on the floor below us had complained about. While I understand it is a condo and therefore a community environment, the issue should have been resolved after the first visit and during his second visit the refrigerator was moved, causing it to become unplugged. We were unaware of this as the refrigerator had been moved back into position and did not notice anything until the next morning when there was water in the kitchen floor and all of our food had gotten hot. Again, the location was good but the condo needs some work.

Obviously, we were shocked and disappointed by the review. The condo has received numerous good and excellent reviews online and off all year. We are sorry you didn't have the same experience our guests typically do. The living room furniture, washer and dryer, televisions (3), pictures (7) and bedding are all less than a year old. We are sorry that the master bath exhaust fan went out while you were visiting. It has been replaced. the very small hole next to it, we don't have any idea how that NEW hole got there but it has been taken care of as well. The paper in the guest bath has some sem problems. We thought that had been corrected and apologize that it wasn't. It has now been corrected and although the paper is in good shape, it may be removed as it was in the kitchen. We didn't have any idea that the Maintenance staff was investigating the leak, above our unit, as coming from our unit. We've had to completely replace and re-surface our kitchen ceiling twice due to an un-detected leak above our unit. Our refrigerator, nor the water line to it, are the problem. We are sorry your report indicates the resort staff wasn't conscientious about putting things back as they found them. We hate the fact that you were inconvenienced. Please keep us in mind for future trips and if you do; please contact us by email or phone if you ever find anything that's in need of attention. We would send one of our own staff over to take care of it professionally. We do hope you have a great Autumn.

A nice property, spoilt by a lot of poor maintenance

Our first impression was good, however as the month stay progressed, a number of issues came to light. All of which have been passed on to the owner. He promises that they will be attended to. If he rectifies these it will make a nice vacation stay. One thing I would point out is the fact that the queen bed advertised in the second bedroom is not a queen. Only measures 52 inches

The maintenance issues that came up, occurred during the guests stay and each was addressed and or corrected as they became an issue. This included: a leak under the kitchen sink and one of the phones quit working. We are sorry about inconvenience. The condo is well maintained and underwent major upgrades during the past six months. We inspect in-between stays but are unable to predict when something may not work as expected. All of our guests are given a 24 hour monitored phone and email to contact us seven days a week and we pride ourselves in being highly responsive. Satisfaction is expected and we hope that our guests are more than satisfied. Returning guests and positive feedback are out rewards.

Fair

The view/location was great and we really liked the size of the living room & master bedroom. The 2nd bedroom was also a good size if we had other guests with us. We were VERY disappointed in the size/cleanliness of the master bathroom and that tiny, tiny kitchen! I'm only 5 ft tall and couldn't turn around without bumping into my husband or the wall in either. There were no drawers to store anything in the bathroom so all toiletries, medications etc had to sit by the sink. There were way too many dishes, glasses in the kitchen cabinets so we couldn't put any of our groceries up anywhere, nothing was empty, not even the shelf in the laundry area. It had items on it that we didn't want to move. There were some minor maintenance type issues: one of the lights in the master bath was blown, the right side of the toilet paper holder kept falling and dangling down, the shower had been left dirty, there was some type of brown sticky substance that had run down the wall to the floor in the kitchen that had been left there from a previous renter, the light was blown, I didn't check all the pots & pans but the 2 I used were both dirty, one of them still had the remains of scrambled eggs. I would have washed them before I used them anyway but that was kind of a turn off. I could be wrong but I don't think it had been vacuumed. We found several small items in the floor in the living room and master bedroom: plastic wrapper, cotton ball, etc. My husband and I are very neat & tidy and cleanliness is the first thing we notice anywhere so these things really jumped out at us. If the unit had been cleaned before we arrived on July 29th, it was done in a very hurried way. We really enjoyed the decor, it's very cute. Thank you

We are sorry you didn't find the unit up to our normal excellent housekeeping standard. We do wish you had contacted us upon arrival, to let us know that so we could have had a cleaning crew come over and see what was wrong and correct it. The condo was cleaned and inspected prior to your arrival. This unit is normally left in excellent condition and I am sorry it wasn't for you. The kitchen is well stocked with ample service and cookware for six people to be able to dine twice before washing if they should choose to run the dishwasher once while enjoying the beach or sleeping. We too have found that everyone is not always particular about inspecting the dishware and pots when they are staying in the unit. We will begin inspecting the ones in storage to prevent your experience from happening to anyone else, and regret that you found soiled items stored in with the clean. The pantry shelves are typically used to store groceries, they are five shelves available. Although it is a typical small kitchen, it is larger than many condo or apartment kitchens and we've never had a complaint about it being too small for a person to enjoy, it is open to the family room and you can see the Gulf from the kitchen. Unfortunately, bulbs blow and you can't anticipate that so, we keep 2 extra bulbs in the pantry. We would have gladly come over and changed them for you had we known they were out before cleaning after your departure. We are glad you liked the decor with new art work, furniture, 3 new televisions, new linens, etc. We very glad you liked the location and glad you had a nice time. We are very sorry that we didn't know or see the things you found in the floor when it was vacuumed or inspected. There is simply no excuse or explanation. I only wish we had been informed at the time so we could have assured it was 100% pleasing to you. We hope you will give us another chance. We provide 3 contact methods for all of our guests and request they inspect the unit upon arrival and notify us if anything isn't PERFECTLY PLEASING.

Nice vacation with my family

We really enjoyed spending time with the family. The condo unit was nice, although the cleanliness was not what I would have liked. Empty water bottles and Doritos were left in the floor..my son layed down in the floor with no shirt on and he got up with some sort of short animal hair all over him. The floor was not vacuumed or the vacuumed needs to be replaced... either was the Doritos and the emptied water bottles should have been seen. But over all was a nice stay, would like to visit the property again.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2017

We are sorry and surprised. Housekeepers and Inspector missed the water bottle and Doritos. Not even a clue but sorry you found them. The floors were vacuumed but the vacuum was also replaced today. Please book your next trip directly with us for a returning guest discount and a five star stay. Thank you for the nice comments but most of all, thank you for staying with us. Dr. George

Wonderful winter stay. Home away from home.

You will NOT be disappointed with this property. It is well supplied and cared for. The location is fantastic. The view of the beach from all main rooms of the condo is simply gorgeous, the sunsets are majestuous, pools (3) and grounds of this building are extra clean and access gate secured. More restaurants than you can eat in during a week, shopping galore, and it is SAFE! The beaches are pristine. You get a prompt response from the owner on any question or concern. The Bichon Frisé loved the balcony & getting attention from other residents. I highly recommend and will keep this place at the top of my list for future stays. You will not go wrong with this unit. Dr George, John, Carol, thank you for being so gracious.

Excellent site.

A very beautiful condo. A wonderful and understandable site to look at. All questions you can think of and then some are all included on this site. Very easy to read and understand. The calendar is very easy to read. Other sites I have visited their calendar availability confuses me. I am very satisfied and reccommend you book this condo and check it out. The pictures on here are as beautiful as they are in person. A wonderful place Hope you check it out too.
