Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the location and had a great stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime 😊
Very nice little property, steps away from the Beach, but not right on busy Gulf Ave.The pool area and patio are very nice. Nice furniture, and the pool is heated. There is a gas grill, and Beach chairs and umbrellas for guests use. I rented the one bedroom. It had everything I needed for my two week stay.
We had a wonderful experience staying here. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was very quick at responding as well!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the place and the location — it really means a lot to hear that. It was a pleasure having you, and I’m happy I could help make your stay smooth and enjoyable. You’re always welcome back anytime!
The host was wonderful with communication. We had a very short stay so not many things were needed. The only problem was that the tv volume in the bedroom wouldn’t work on some platforms.

Hi Lanita,
I'm sorry, I somehow missed your comments about the place and was just looking over my reviews for the year and noticed I didn't respond to yours.
Thank you so much for your kind words about the communication — I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, especially during a short stay!
I’m sorry to hear about the TV volume issue in the bedroom on certain platforms. Thank you for mentioning it — I’ll be checking that right away to make sure everything is working properly for future guests.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime!
Warmly,
Christine

Great Stay and Location
The apartment is right across from the beach, minutes away from great restaurants, has a nice little pool, and is decorated just like my wife would've done. Couldn't have been happier with our stay.
