Condo with a Wow factor

Our stay at this condo was excellent with no problems. However, this is on a personal basis only, that the main bedroom had louvre blinds on the window, with drapes to the window leading onto the balcony. We would have preferred drapes to all windows in the main bedroom, with being light sleepers. Other than this, then the accommodation was of a high standard and one which made our stay all the better in Perdido Keys (Sandy Key Condos). To have a large balcony with table and 4 chairs, all of which were comfortable, looking out onto the white sand and clear blue seas of the Gulf, what more could anyone want. For confirmation, the listing description was spot on, it was clean and well maintained and I would definitely recommend this condo to friends and family. The location of the condo was good but we found looking for eating places to suit was a bit hit and miss, finding more eatieries over the boundary in Alabama. However, on saying that we found Lilians and Lamberts Cafe to be excellent. For us Brits, Lamberts cafe was a totally new experience of eating and the ambience was fantastic, the place was buzzing. Definitely worth a trip for a meal or two. There were plenty of supermarkets nearby to within 10-15 mins drive, the nearest one being Publix. Our holiday was a chill out holiday, so walking along the white sandy beach, either left or right of the condo was just what the Dr. ordered. Again, fantastic condo and one to put on your list for staying at in this part of Florida.

Owner response:Thank you for your lovely comment. We will look into new drapes in the master bedroom to block out the morning sun and any outside light. Please come back. Joe and Glenda

Comfortable and relaxing week in Perdido Key, Florida

We had a wonderful stay at the Sandy Key Condos. We found all the elements of our vacation that we were looking for - a quiet, low key rental unit on a beautiful beach, great pools, immaculate grounds, very close to grocery stores and a National Park. We enjoy cooking our own meals and this unit's kitchen had all the equipment we needed to do so. It has a nice large deck and table for eating out. The furniture is comfortable and all the appliances are top notch. The tubs are average, which was the only difference from a previously rented Perdido Key area condo. All of the guests we met were friendly and the condo has a great family atmosphere. We were very impressed with the groundskeeping staff, which kept the condo grounds very neat and tidy and in working order. We were fortunate to have fantastic weather during our stay. We will be back.

Owner response: Thank you for your comment. We try to keep our unit up to make our guests comfortable and their stay pleasent. We look forward to your return. Joe and Glenda

We have had an awesome month here in your condo. What a great October; hate for it to end. We've had company in and out all month; only two nights alone! A month of sharing the beach life with family and friends is invaluable! This, we believed, was a once-in-a-lifetime deal; but now that it's almost over, we're trying to figure out a way to do it again! Judy White

Hi Joe Glenda, I just wanted you to know we are enjoying our visit here in you condo and have enjoyed every minute. The condo is lovely and the weather although cool for some it is much warmer than home in Maine. How would we reserve the unit for the month of Janurary next year? Marlee and Jim

Thunder storms each day, but beautiful otherwise. The waves were fun and a bit rough - we had teenage boys and they loved it, Shopping at Foley was great. The Oyster Bar was nice and went to Charlie's. The condo was perfect! It was very tastefully decorated. Loved sitting on the balcony drinking coffee listening to the waves and watching people on the beach.

The weather was great most of the time, some humidity, but to be expected, but overall beautiful. Adam loved getting in the Gulf and looking for sanddollars. I love laying out by the water reading a book listening to waves crashing in. The Oyster Bar was neat. we enjoyed eating outside by the beautiful boats. Condo is great! Very clean and well decorated. Enjoyed every minute. The moon was unusually pretty at night. Too bad we can't take it all back home with us.Plan to com back hopefully soon.

Unusally cold weather in February, warmed up the the last three weeks of March. Went to the Orange Beach Arts and Crafts festival. We enjoyed staying at your tastefully decorated condo. This is our second year here and plan on returning in 2011.

The weather was usually cool, but we had a couple of beautiful days. We enjoyed our tour of the Naval Aviation Museum, seeing Dolphins one morning, found several sanddollars, long walks on the beach...CHILLING OUT! Oh - and being on the beach when 2010 arrived! Swimming in the heated pool. Interesting coming down during the holidays...very peaceful and quiet...a really enjoyable week. Thanks!

The weather was lovely - much cooler than we were expecting for late July! The water was warm & clear. We enjoyed relaxing on the beach, golfing and shopping at the outlet mall. We saw Dolphins each morning from the balcony. We enjoyed The Shrimp Basket restuarant - great pickle chips that we can't get in NC. Thanks for sharing your lovely condo - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We're going home relaxed and tan. We hope to be back next year.

Mostly sunny with temperatures in the 60's & 70's. Only bad weather we experienced was the last week in March - rain and thundersorms. Mcguire's in Pensacola is really a nice place to have dinner. Your condo is beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed. Hope be back in 2010.

Weak of Hurricane Ike; but we were lucky and only got a lot of wind which made the Ocean look beautiful. However most of the rest of the time sunny and windy. We loved your beautiful condo. It was very comfortable. We had a great time. Also, the management team in the office are very nice and professional.

Your condo is beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the swimming pool (heated) where we did aerobics with friends. Watching the sunrise and the dolphins from the balcony as well as taking walks on the beach was one of our favorite things to do. We hope we can use it again in 2009.
