Hi, yes it is a great little place to come relax and enjoy some nature...come back soon. Debi
We were very happy with the condo and would definitely stay again. Debra is aware of the key issue on top lock. Very stiff afraid of breaking key. The door is a little uneven. One other small thing, tacks are sticking through carpet between rooms. Kept stepping on them. LolMaybe a divider could be put in place.
My husband and I spent a week here. Everything we needed was in the condo. The balcony has an amazing view of the water and the beautiful sunset. We were able to eat dinner out there almost every night. The little nature walk was a nice evening walk and for the most part the path is clear until you get to the end but it’s well worth the view. The location is nice as far as an easy trip to local things like shopping and Tarpon Springs. We would stay here again if we have the opportunity.

Great views
The unit was well kept and generally well provisioned. It lacked a few kitchen utensils that I had to buy, such as a garlic press, cheese grater and cork screw. This unit is great for couples, except that the owners should invest in a queen sized bed rather than an old twin mattress. I will definitely rent again if there is an upgrade to the bed and linens.

Hi,
Sorry we didn't have those kitchen items for you....there probably never was a garlic press or a cheese grater there....cork screw might have been taken accidentally....in regards to the bedding, it is a full and I will suggest to the owner to look into a larger bed.
Glad you enjoyed it other than these few issues.
Thanks,
Debi
My adult daughter and I stayed in condo 2-410. We were extremely happy with everything about it. The condo was as described. My bed was extremely comfortable, condo was clean, the pool was amazing. The best part were the winter guests and homeowners. They were kind, welcoming, and extremely helpful. One even tried to talk us into purchasing a condo there!! (I'm too young to retire) Morning coffee on the balcony was spent watching the dolphins and rays swim and the birds and ducks frolic. We wished we could have stayed longer.

I spent hours trying to help you with the wifi and after calling spectrum it was settings on your phone that stopped you from getting access...the track just recently broke on the oven and will be replaced soon...not sure who took the cover off and there are drains on the balcony. maybe a recent rain caused some water to be there.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you visit again next year!

Shabby condo, but great view, sunsets, pool, and grounds
I have traveled extensively and have stayed in about 30 VRBO rentals around the world. I also own a few properties that I rent through VRBO and this is the first time I am compelled to write a negative review.
This was the only unit available for my dates so I booked it for the first 3 weeks of my 2 month stay, now I can see why it was available, I doubt if many people would return to this unit. After my 3 week stay in 410, I moved to a unit in the same building a few floors up that is gorgeous, spotless, comfortable AND $250 less.
If you are only looking for a crash pad for a short stay then 410 will do fine. This unit needs some serious TLC and attention to detail.
I am going to list several items the owner/manager may not be aware of:
Bed is too small and too hard and no mattress pad! I bought a foam topper (which I did not leave) so I could get a good night sleep.
Blinds in bedroom have missing slats and don't close so can't block out the morning light.
No dining table, eating at the counter you stare at the old ugly refrigerator instead of the gorgeous view, and most days it was too hot to eat on the balcony.
Windows smudged inside and out
Night stand drawer broken.
Greasy fingerprints on cupboards, grease stained back splash in kitchen.
Pans in cupboards were dirty.
Half the balcony had standing water so was unusable and the balcony furniture was so rusted big pieces of rusted metal were falling off, I kept getting scratched so had to cover the chairs with towels to sit. A water soaked old plastic planter on the balcony with no foliage left on it is simply gross and needs to be thrown out.
Stains on walls and doors, the entire condo needs painting.
Stained carpet and pulling away from the wall in one area, also you could feel the carpet tacks at thresholds, don't go barefoot!
Furniture is old, worn, and uncomfortable, the entire condo is so dingy that it did not feel, smell, or look clean even though it may have been.
Chipped plates and cups.
The only thing cheerful inside was the bedspread, it appeared to be new.
I did take pictures but I am not able to post them on this review.
I want to emphasize that Gulf Island is an incredible property and very well maintained, just too bad the owner of 410 doesn't invest some money to update this unit because it has so much potential.
In response to a few prior reviews, the 18" TV in the bedroom turns on with the wall switch. I put the correct and complete wifi instructions on the refrig.

I am sorry you were not happy with this unit. It has always been a great rental. We advertise it as a queen size bed, the last guests broke the blinds and they will soon be switched out to black out drapes. In regards to no dining room table...it is clear in the pics of exactly what the unit looks like. You came during a very rainy time so yes, there is water on the outside balcony. I will be speaking to my cleaning crew about this issues you mentioned as that is certainly not the norm.
Keys were not left in lock box upon departure...carpet had many stains at check out..guests kept locking themselves out and it cost me $200 for a locksmith
Beautiful property. Liked the 24/7 gated and manned security. Building 2 #410 was clean and well stocked with towels and linens. Nice beach decor in unit. Had to contact property managers for issue with leaking air conditioning unit and cable/internet problems. They were quick on resolution for both issues. I really liked the size of the balcony and the nice furniture to sit on and watch the dolphins in the lagoon. Will go again!

Property management company said that they sent paperwork with key code,but I did not receive it! We had a late flight and Deb was very short when I called at 2am. I tried to explain who I was and the problem, she just gave me the code and hung up.

Yes, that is correct, I sent all the paperwork to you on June 26 at 9:59 am and have the email to prove it. I am not sure why you didn't not reach out to me earlier in the day to confirm the check in instructions if you did not see them sooner rather than wake someone up at 2 am. I have a very sick mom that has been in the hospital for months and it was pretty much my first night home and a 2 am phone call was pretty scary. I did give you the codes and ended the call. Not sure what else you wanted me to do at 2 am when I was woken up out of a deep sleep. I was only glad it was not the hospital calling about my mom.
Nice atmosphere, clean condo, and BEAUTIFUL view! Would love to be welcomed back!!
