Exceptional

The condo was excellent!! Communication with Ron was seamless and quick. The place had everything we needed, lots of beach chairs, umbrella, towels, toys. Elevators were super quick and from the condo to beach it was literally 3 minutes. Will definitely stay here again!
This condo exceeded expectations in every way. Immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and stocked with every comfort you could need. The location was perfect, the amenities were top-notch, and communication with the host was seamless from start to finish. Every detail felt thoughtful and welcoming. An exceptional stay — I would absolutely return and highly recommend it.

This condo was beautiful! We have been staying at the Palazzo for over 10 years and this was one of the best ones we have stayed in. The beds were so comfortable!!
The condo was very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked. Owners were very nice.
The location is just under 2 miles from Pier park.
There is a Winn Dixie very close by as well as several restaurants.
Overall, a great place to stay.

This was by far the best condo that we’ve stayed at in the area. It was very clean and well-stocked with everything you need and communication with the property owners was top notch. The building itself was very clean with fast elevators. We will definitely be back!

Close and convenient to Pier Park. You can bring you own food and cook or plenty of eating around. The Back Porch was delicious. Beach not crowded. Room overlooks the water. Very peaceful and relaxing. You can't go wrong with this condo!

Rose,
Thank you for the review and recommendations to future guests! We appreciate you staying with us!
We absolutely loved this beach condo! We easily fit a family of 5 and a set of grandparents in it. The kiddos loved the bunks! The location was great. Parking was a breeze. Condo was super clean and well stocked with lots of essential items. The communication with ownership was also great! They were so friendly and accommodating and even text me after we checked out to let me know we had left a stuffed animal behind. We are already planning another trip back hopefully next summer!
This is by far the nicest condo I have ever stayed in. It was super clean, well decorated, all the beds were so comfortable, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen and the bathrooms. It was truly like a home away from home with all the comforts of home. The view was awesome and we loved sitting out on the balcony listening to the waves. The kids LOVED the pool! Ron and Laura were awesome hosts and very responsive when needed - both before, during and after our stay. I can’t say enough good things! Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us.

We are so happy you and your family had a great vacation. Laura and I appreciate you choosing us :)
This condo has amazing views and everything you’ll need for a week or weekend at the beach. Ron and Laura are great hosts who stay in touch and provides excellent customer service. All pictures are accurate and every room was exactly what was stated in the description. Don’t look any further book here for a wonderful family vacation at the beach.
This condo is our #1 favorite in PCB (and we’ve stayed in a LOT of PCB condos over the past 25 years). It is spotlessly clean throughout and beautifully decorated much more like a loved vacation home than a rental unit.
The unit’s 3BR/3BA arrangement provided perfect privacy for my 81 year old Mom, our 2 college-age daughters and my wife and myself…plus the gorgeous October weather made the huge balcony our favorite living room! We can’t wait to return!!

First, thank you so much for allowing our family to stay in your beautiful condo! From the time we walked in, to when we left, it was a wonderful experience. It is beautifully decorated. This condo had everything.. laundry detergent, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, down to peroxide and bandaids.
The location is perfect. It is very close to grocery stores and restaurants. Very close to Pier Park and Thomas Donuts.
Will definitely stay here again!
