Perfect Spot For Sports Tournament Travelers

Property was at least as good as pictured. Beach access was awesome. Also conveniently located to the fields we played at for the 14U Gulf Coast World Series. Owners were helpful, and we enjoyed the recommended restaurants.

Quiet and Peaceful with amazing views

I stayed at the Penthouse Paradise for a week of work in the area instead of a hotel. It was so nice having the comforts of home while away. Even though it was Spring Break, the place was still quiet and Peaceful. Very glad I decided to stay here and would stay again next trip.

Condo was spacious and loved the separate laundry room instead of the stackable washer/dryer combos in most rentals. Views were beautiful! Enjoyed using the extra beach chairs to watch the sunset in evenings. The kitchen was larger than most and had everything we needed to prepare meals.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here this past week. The unit is on the top floor, which provides a most excellent view of the coast and without the annoying sounds of people walking in the unit above you. The unit was well appointed with a groovy beach theme. We appreciated the quality carpet in the master bedroom, and nice size walk in closet. The beds were comfy…memory foam in the mid range in regards to firmness. No Keurig but the coffee maker did the trick (coffee and filters were provided). The AC worked magnificently, which is a hot button for us. Beach chairs and umbrella are complementary with the stay, but get out to the beach before 8 to lay your claim, as there are a limited number of them. Publix grocery store and a convenience store are less than 10 minutes away. Unfortunately during the majority of our stay there were strong storms and rough seas…double red flag days with no swimming allowed. The refuge of this rental helped made it fun, despite the weather. We’ll definitely be back!

About the host

Host profile image
Me and my sister grew up in FWB, FLA as our dad was stationed at Hurlburt Field and served in the Air Force as a combat controller. So FLA has a special place in our hearts! We love sharing our little piece of "paradise" and the white sand beaches of the Gulf Mexico!

Why they chose this property

You can't beat watching the sun rise or set on 32' gulf front balcony that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico! Just take the elevator down to the boardwalk and walk out on the white sand beaches of the Emerald Coast!

What makes this property unique

If you're looking for "ocean front property"...you can't get any closer to the Gulf of Mexico!
