Beautiful place to stay. View is a side view of the beach from the balcony. Master bedroom view is of local stores. Pools were nice . Host is super responsive. A binder with the rules for the resort would be helpful as there are a bunch of rules, maybe list local restaurant suggestions etc.Easy check in and out . Peaceful place to stay .

Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. As owners we strive to provide accurate pictures of views from living room/master bedroom and balconies so guests can make an informed decision where to stay. What you see is what you get. Having an unobstructed view of the beach, pools, and Gulf are simply breathtaking. Resort rules and local restaurants/spots are provided to all guests through a QR code instead of booklets. Glad we were able accommodate your family with an early check in a beach towels. Thanks Again,

So glad you had a wonderful stay. Thank you for your feedback- we know when it comes to bed comfort, everyone’s preferences differs ie. pillowtop vs firm. Trying to find that middle ground is always tricky in a rental- definitely will keep It in mind- come back soon.

The condo was so clean! We enjoyed the pool areas although it was busy- having the option of 3 pools are so nice! We were worried about having to wait for elevators but we never waited longer than 2 minutes. We can’t wait to come back.

So glad you loved our Clean Condo! Summertime on the Gulf is busy no matter where you stay, but you are correct- with the amount of elevators at the resort, waiting is never an issue. We are very few resorts with multiple pools allowing guests to spread out and never having an issue of finding a lounge chair. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

The condo was great and just what we were expecting. The property when we were there had limited access to all of the amenities for one of our days unfortunately. Once everything was available, things were great!

Glad you had a great stay at our condo. Yes, unfortunately someone thought the rules didn’t apply to them and broke glass(which is strictly prohibited) and 1 of the 3 pools had to be closed/drained and reopened the next day for everyone’s safety. I’m just glad there were two other pools for guests to use.

Beach view was ok. We are used to seeing a wider view of the beach and ocean. The pools were absolutely wonderful. We did notice a few things that need fixing. There are several water spots on the ceiling in front bedroom. The bathtub in same bedroom has mold and needs caulking.

Rebecca, thanks for your feedback. The water spots on ceiling and caulking in tub were taking care of after we received your review. Next time please contact us so we can take care of those issues immediately for you. We don’t know if there is a water leak from above condo unless we are informed by guests. As far as our view goes- we picture our exact view on site, which most think is wonderful, so guests know what to expect. Thanks again for staying with us.

Thanks for the input. Our mattresses are only a couple years old, but then again how firm or soft people like mattresses are subjective to the individual. Glad you had a great stay otherwise.
