This condo was amazing. The place was so nice and extremely clean. We had a fantastic view from the balcony,and loved the covered parking. Jim Casler and his property manager were some of the nicest people. They were extremely great to work with. We would definately go back and would highly recommend to anyone. We had one of the best vacations that we have ever had. Loved the security of the building. Fantastic,great place. You will love it. Quite and peaceful,very relaxing.

This is our second trip to Jim's condo. We couldn't have found a better place to stay, especially while traveling with elderly parents. The convienence of the location to attrations is very nice. The condo is beautifully furnished with all the amenities of home and some special treats, like a tv in bathroom! The condo was nice and clean. It has beautiful view from the balacony and when the weather is comfortable it's nice to sit on the balcony. Jim makes it easy to book online and answered all of our questions. He even stayed in touch when we were not sure about the oil and if would interfer with our vacation. If any of or friends will be traveling to Biloxi this is the place to stay. I hope we will be able to return for many more visits.

This condo is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures on the website. There's a great view of the water from every room & the bed in the master bedroom is soooo comfortable. It's nice that the 2 bedrooms & bathrooms are split by the kitchen/living room area. If we're ever in Biloxi again, we'd want to stay in this condo!

This is a beautifully decorated condo with lots of attention to detail. While we did not cook, the kitchen seemed very well appointed. Comfortable bed and nice living room furniture. We did not get to sit outside since it was cold both nights (for us in the south), but the patio furniture was very nice. We look forward to returning to your condo.

Hey Jim, Everything was perfect really the only little thing was you didnt have a little skillet for cooking eggs [there's one in the condo]. We hope we qualify next year so we can return to your condo. I could have moved in just loved it.

Jim I just wanted to tell you that we had a wonderful time at the condo in November. The view was wonderful, the accommodations were great and we do plan to do it again. The location was excellent. It was right in the middle of everything. Also the people at checkin and checkout were very gracious. It was truly a pleasure doing business with you and I will contact you the next time we wish to come down. Thanks again, Pat D. --- a very satisfied customer

I don’t know who enjoyed the condo more, my kids or my wife and I. I really enjoyed the view from the patio both day and night. The beds were too comfortable. I was supposed to go to the casino Saturday night. I laid down around 8:00 pm with the intent to get up around 11:00 and go gamble. Needless to say, I couldn’t let go of the pillow. My son is a video game and cartoon fanatic, so he locked himself in the second bedroom for the weekend with the flat screen and only came out for snacks. We will definitely be back soon. Probably with close friends this time. We have to do a trip for the grownups only. I have been telling people about the place already so you can probably look for us again in December or January. My only complaint about the site is that I wish it had a gym on site. I am a gym freak especially when I’m on vacation. But other than that you have a top of the line place especially for the price. Décor is very tasteful. Talk to you soon

Jim, we had a wonderful time. The condo is beautiful, very comfortable, we hated to leave. If we had a complaint, which we don't, but we could think of 2 things. The showers are small, especially in regards to the huge master bath. The other would be, that the twins beds are narrow. With that said, we will definitely be back. I have made all my friends jealous when I told them about our trip. Everyone we encountered from my dealing with you, to the business office, to the janitors, were extremely helpful. It was great. Can't wait to go back.

Our vacation was wonderful. Mississippi was my 50th state to visit and what a great way to reach that goal! The condo is beautiful and even nicer than the pictures describing it. There was just my daughter and myself and we got spoiled with each of us having our own king bed and bath! The living area and kitchen were both comfortable and everything was spotless and in good condition. We spent a lot of time touring along the coast and one of the highlights was taking the Tour Train through Biloxi. The devastation of Katrina was hard to see but to visit and talk with the residents, we learned a lot about their courage and determination to rebuild and go ahead with life. It was encouraging to see how they are bouncing back. We enjoyed the shops in Ocean Springs and the Katrina museum in Gulfport. We also enjoyed eating at Bonefish in the Edgewater Mall and Nola in New Orleans. Didn't care much for PoBoys though. Jim was a real pleasure to deal with. Very personal and pleasant! We will certainly recommended you and your condo. Margaret and Kathy

Hi, Jim, Your property was lovely. Though I had no children with me, all the children's games, books and DVDs get big points from me. Ditto the books and DVDs for grownups. Thought the kitchen was a bit limited, I could have used a whisk, a set of measuring cups, and a rubber spatula. The can opener is ready for the "round file" -- it really did not work, without my Swiss army knife I would have been toast. You had everything else I needed for several days of meals. The stainless steel walls in the kitchen are lovely, I wouldn't mind having those at home. You need some kind of door stop on the slider door between the family room and the master suite -- evidently someone let it fly and popped the end cap of the wooden cornice askew on the right side going into the master suite. My husband tapped it back into place and we didn't use the door, but the next time someone closes the door hard, the end piece could come completely off, just an FYI to save someone some grief. Thought all the labels on everything were great, but could have used one more -- the a/c quit working, I was kind of freaking out, the front desk said we must have a patio door not completely closed, which we did. The doors are heavy and it wasn't obviously open, so a label to let guests know to keep them tightly closed would be nice. The furniture and upholstery were tasteful and lovely. We loved the TV in the bathroom! I visit my family in Biloxi about every 3 months, but always like a few days with a real vacation feel to it. Our next visit is in mid-January, hope you have availability for us. We rarely stay in a condo on weekends, we are usually Sunday to Wednesday, or Wednesday to Saturday. I will be checking back with you when I have firm dates, I know I am flying in the [date removed] and leaving the [date removed], but won't know the dates for my husband and a condo booking until it gets closer.

Dear Jim, Our recent stay at the Ocean Club in your condo was a particularly wonderful experience. The accommodations were clean and provided an elegant and gracious atmosphere. The security measures are great and the obviously sound construction of the building gave new meaning to the word peaceful. The views from the balcony are spectacular, and a bit unexpected from accommodations not directly facing the Gulf. We left the sugar, creamer, tissue, paper towels, and cups, since we had used those items so thoughtfully provided by you, as replacements for your next guests. I would appreciate it if you would return the car cover I left in the closet to the address below: [Address Removed]. We sincerely hope that we fulfilled all of the requirements which will make us desirable as guests again.

Again the condo is great and very nicely decorated which makes it a pleasure to stay in.

We were very comfortable in your condo! Just enough cooking utensils, furnished nicely, lots of TV channels, very nice to provide pool towels, master bathroom was outstanding!! HUGE tub and TV! , LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the King bed - one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in! The condo was very clean and we enjoyed the games, movies, and I even read one of the books. We have stayed in a lot of places and yours ranks as one the most comfortable overall that we have stayed in. The only 2 negatives was we were not able to really enjoy the balcony due to neighbors who smoked constantly (which is not something you can control) and they were somewhat loud at times and the bath/ wash cloth supply was scarce. I brought my own supply so it wasn't an issue, but if I had not it would have been a small problem. ( 3 girls who think they need 2 towels per bath!) I also liked the lists you left and the book for the local area. We used it and I updated your brochure for a fish market with a current one. Thanks again,

Jim, We certainly enjoyed our visit at the condo. We were so impressed and pleased with the luxurious accommodations. The master suite and comfortable bed were tough to leave! The view of the gulf and three points of entry balcony were great. The beach was virtually UNOCCUPIED except for us. We visited the Treasure Bay Casino and went away a winner, Fudge at Souvenir City, great and way TOO CLOSE!!! We loved the condo and have already recommended it to friends and family. Thanks again,

Jim, everything was absolutely PERFECT! The condo was fabulous, the view spectacular and the people were wonderful! A special thanks to Jennifer, the nighttime security guard, who kept an ever watchful eye on our truck! The parking garage was a little too tight, so we parked outside. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations! Even though the devastation is still very obvious, we were very impressed with the positive attitude from the people of Biloxi. Carla (Biloxi Tour Train) gave us a very emotional but upbeat tour of the city and focused mainly on all the rebuilding that is occurring around town . She also made a special effort to thank any construction crews we passed for helping with the rebuilding process. We'd love to visit again and will definitely be recommending your condo to any of our friends who may visit Biloxi! Just as a side note - since the bed was SO comfortable - looks like we'll be shopping for a new mattress in the very near future! Thanks again!

Jim, we just returned from your condo in Biloxi. The Ocean Club is a great building, situated right in the middle of Biloxi Beach. The views out the 12th floor windows were spectacular - splendid view of the beach and gulf from every window. As an old Biloxi Officer from the late 80's, the security at the building appeared to be very good.The unit was clean and well decorated. What stood out for us was the small things - salt/pepper, garbage bags, dishwasher detergent, well stocked pots/pans, the beds were VERY comfortable. We liked how all the switches were labeled so we knew what turned on what. The curtains were great at keeping the light out. The games, books and movies were great too! The only negatives were that the air conditioner and dehumidifier were very loud, to the point of wanting to turn it off. The dehumidifier is the loudest and could probably be mounted in the laundry room away from the main living area. The dining table was unbalanced and would tip over easily. We will definitely consider your unit in the future!

Hey Jim, We had a great time at the condo, all in all it was a good visit. The place was a little like Fort Knox though, which I can understand, but you couldn't get out of the pool area and go back to your room without someone buzzing you out. Could have used a few more washcloths, kitchen towels, and toilet paper. The kitchen was not as equipped as I am used to. I always bring the essentials that I know I will need but was surprised at the lack of supplies. i.e.. vegetable peeler, too small chopping board, large serving bowls. Kitchen garbage can and bags way too small. And no pantry to speak of. Check in time is too small of a window. Other than that, the positives..... GREAT VIIIIEEEEEW. Really enjoyed the fireworks. We were used to seeing them up close and personal, walking from Grandma's house (ain't there no more....Katrina), but the different perspective was great. Thanks a bunch,

Jim, Your condo was great. There was only one small blip, that the beds in the guest bedroom weren't separated [into twin beds]. The kitchen was well equipped, much better than other condos we've rented. The furniture was functional, and comfortable, perfect for a beach condo. The only feedback would be to add some artwork to the walls. It is a little barren. Overall, it was a great weekend, and we'll be returning in either August or September, and hope we can stay in your place again. Regards,

Thanks Jim. You never really know how things will turn out when you pull something off the internet, but for us, everything was great. We were looking for a place to relax and catch up and your condo was perfect. The office people were very nice and made us feel welcome and it was very quiet as there's wasn't a lot of people there. We hadn't been to Biloxi in several years and it was sad to see all the big old homes gone. Your condo is great. I had to laugh as we just redid our kitchen and my cabinets and granite were very similar to yours. We made use of one of the places you had [recommended] to buy fresh shrimp. We made it to Ocean Springs and ate lunch at a great little place called Mr BB's Po-Boy or something like that, so that's definitely a recommendation. We also made it to the Fillin' Station near downtown Biloxi...my husband liked his bologna sandwich but I wasn't impressed with the oysters. Thanks again. Ellie

Jim, We got home about a little over an hour ago and it was so hard to leave there this morning. It was everything we hoped it would be and more! The condo is absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. We found nothing to complain about in the condo. Our complaints could only be blamed on nature....it was chilly and cloudy all weekend!!! The sun came out this morning and that made it even harder to leave our wonderland!!! Even with lousy weather, we enjoyed just sitting on the balcony and looking at the beach and water. My hubby loves to sit outside when he can't sleep and watch traffic go by and who is on the beach and doing what. He was not disappointed!!! We are still thinking seriously about renting it for the month from mid August as I had mentioned prior.... We can't find any reason not to do it [reserve] now that we know how wonderful the condo is. We also found we really enjoyed the town of Biloxi also. Is the rental process any different to rent the condo for a month? Please let me know so we can make the final decision on it. We will decide this week on it for sure. Thanks!

The security guard, I'm sorry I forget her name now, was so very helpful. She took us to our condo and explained everything, how everything worked, and being that we arrived on a holiday that most things were closed she even drew us a map of where local things were and what might be open on such a holiday. She was wonderful throughout our whole stay. Thanks again. We have been telling everyone about the condo and the area and telling them about your web site.

The weather was pretty nasty until yesterday and today but we spent time in the casinos instead of in the rain. Didn't leave too much down there but had a great time. We are already looking forward to going back next year about two weeks later and hopefully catching better weather. We found a menu in the kitchen for Shady's and went there and found fresh shrimp and cooked at the condo. We ate at the Grand Biloxi one night and Beau Rivage one morning.
