This was our third stay in this condo in as many years, because it works for us. You can see my earlier reviews from 2017 and 2016 for more details about the unit. We were pleased to see that they were repainting the exterior of the building, although this was a little inconvenient since the parking was roped off. However, the workers were very nice and polite. One significant change from previous years -- the state park next door has been reconfigured and the bushes/trees that used to be the view out the back balcony have been removed. This makes the late afternoon sun almost unbearable when you're trying to watch TV in the living room. I hope the owner will consider lining the blinds like the ones in the master bedroom are. The front door lock is a push-code lock -- which is nice, since you don't have to keep track of keys. However, the strike-plate needs aligning and that means you have to play with it to get it to lock and unlock. Again -- hopefully the owner will look into this. The people in the Coastal office were friendly and helpful, as always. :)

The condo is beautifully decorated. Even though it doesn’t have a view of the beach, it’s very closely located to the beach/pool/restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed Adventure Island right across the street. We did have several issues though — the back door security bar was broken, the master toilet tank was leaking, the spare bedroom tv cable was “rigged” to work instead of having been replaced, the bathtub stopper didn’t work in the Master bath. We did call about the tv and bath stoppers. We were told the maintenance guy was coming back the next day to fix the tv and he didn’t. He had told mngt that we said not to bother. Possible misunderstanding but frustrating. Make sure to bring everything you need. Toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, laundry detergent, trash bags. You get starter amounts and that’s all. We only stayed 4 days and ran out halfway through. Beware the beds. They are VERY loud. They were comfortable if you didn’t move at all. Box springs need replaced desperately.

This is our 2nd time in this unit and we had a another wonderful vacation -- in spite of coming in on the heels of hurricane Nate. The Seaside complex is convenient to all the places we like to visit in Pensacola, Gulf Shores and Mobile. This time, we visited the National Naval Air Museum, the Foley Train Museum, Doc's Seafood, Cosmos, shopping at the Wharf, and we had some beach time every day. As I've said before, this complex is not the newest, but Seaside unit 1212 is well maintained and was clean & comfortable for us. The mattress is still a little too soft for us, but everyone has a different preference. This complex has a lot of extras and is well maintained. The tennis court refinishing is complete and they look very nice. This unit, 1212, does not face the beach, but instead faces East. This gives spectacular sunrise and sunset views. This unit is in one of the Tennis Villas buildings. The beach is a about 3-4 minutes walk along a paved walkway within the complex (no roads to cross). I'd read in a previous review that the DVD player is not working (and it is _not_), however, we brought our own with us and hooked it up easily to the big screen TV in the living room. We had been due to arrive at the exact time that hurricane Nate was to hit, but the Coastal Properties people were very nice in allowing us to slide our booking out one day (since no one was booked in right behind us). We very much appreciated their helpfulness and courtesy.
