7 amazing days at the Shipwatch
We loved the Condo, it was clean, nicely decorated, quiet and to sit on the balcony was so very peaceful and enjoyable.... We plan to stay here again.....
No hot tub, old lumpy mattress, but very clean
I knew this condo was a little old, especially the kitchen, but everything was clean and comfortable other than the master bedroom mattress, very uncomfortable. The couches in the living room were very low making it hard for me to get up. Even though we were supposed to have a hot tub, which we had really counted on since the pool is outside and it turned very cold, we got a email 5 days before our arrival date that "they had just been made aware that the hot tub was shut down and in need of repair and might not be ready". I had a sneaky suspicion what that meant. You can install a new one in 5 days. Very disappointed. No one could predict the cold weather, but the hot tub would have made a big difference. Also the beach is not in walking distance, it is across the road, which we knew, but down a long drive back to a busy highway to cross, then a walk to the beach.
The condo itself was great! Had everything you could think of to make the stay nice.
The amenities were the problem. The hot tub was not working with no resolution in sight and we always use the hot tub. The swimming pools were to cold to use so I complained and they did turn up the heat in the one across the road. The blue angels do not practice until the very last week of March so that didn' t work out either and the ocean water I was very cold. I'm sure it it a great place in April but I wish someone would have said don't go there in March. So it was disappointing for our only vacation.
Perfect for our family!
Condo was very clean. Spacious layout. The beds were very comfortable! It was exactly what we needed for 2 adults & 3 children.
Quiet and Relaxing
With 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 3 beds, a queen size sofa bed and an extra twin size mattress, we had plenty of room to spread out. This condo is set off from the road on the bay side and not as massive as some of the other nearby locations. It was clean and tastefully decorated with everything we needed - the laundry room was a real bonus and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the dolphins in the water or the herons walking on the lawn. There was a beautiful pool, a fitness center, and a boat dock for renters - none of which we used, but they would be a great perk for those that would. We had a couple of minor issues while we were there, but the rental company could not have been more helpful or polite and handled everything efficiently. Considering the location on the main beach highway, it was very quiet and low key. You COULD walk across the busy highway to the beach on the other side of the road, but we chose to drive the 5 minutes to Gulf Island National Seashore where the crowds were much thinner. We have a national park pass so we did not have to pay but I think it's about $8/car and the pass is good for a week. It is totally worth the fee to avoid the crowds. There is also a boardwalk through a natural area for a quiet stroll - about 1/2 mile - and picnic tables at the pavillion. Our favorite thing to do is watch the Blue Angels practice when they are in town (Tuesday and Wednesday) from the OTHER Gulf Island National Seashore at Pensacola Beach. Fort Pickens is a primo spot to watch the show across the water at the Naval Air Station. Follow the crowds to the back parking lot and perch anywhere you can see the black lighthouse across the water for a great view. The jets fly directly overhead to regroup and they are very low, very fast, and very loud, which scared some of the smaller children, so maybe bring earplugs. It's amazing to watch, though, and shouldn't be missed. The museum at the NAS is also a good way to spend hours browsing among the planes and displays.
Luxury Coastal Vacations Rock!
Spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit in a romantic setting. Offers an excellent view of the Olde River, and is just a short walk across the road to the beautiful white sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
Grounds and building are well maintained with parking available for boat trailers. Docks and a boat ramp are also available upon request. Large unheated pool, 3 tennis courts, well equipped exercise room, sauna and hot tub are featured also.
However, the unit is in need of a complete updating, otherwise I would have given a 5 star rating. I would also recommend to the owner to change the sagging Queen bed with a new King as the large bedroom can accommodate it.
Luxury Coastal Vacations, the rental agency, made the stay for our family of 4 extremely enjoyable, and will be using them when we return to this area.
