Beautiful view !! Stay and room was ok. Definitely needs some updating and elbow grease. Very disappointed that there wasn’t a balcony and if you have trouble walking long distances, this is not the room for you. Almost needed an Uber to get there from the elevator !!

I was skeptical of this room because there was not a balcony but i was able to open the window and listen to the waves while eating. It had a perfect view of the beach!!! We loved that there was not a parking garage as well. The lady in the shop on the first floor was absolutely the sweetest and helped us out when we needed it. I only gave 4 stars on the cleanliness becuase it does need a baseboard deep clean. Its not something that would keep me from coming back to the same condo though! I was able to cook supper and we had all the dishes that we needed. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this condo and the ease of access to the beach. The hosts' were easy to get in touch with and made the process smooth!

Perfect location

We had a great stay. It was a great location and the pool area great. It had games for the teenagers a snack bar that had food and drinks. The only thing we wish the room had was a keypad so we didn’t have the keys or the key lock thing to use. We’ll definitely stay again!

Perfect view

Overall everything was great. Perfect little getaway spot with the family. Price was on point, king bed was comfortable and the view was gorgeous. Only reason i gave it a 4 on cleaning was it could use a little tlc but nothing i couldn't live with.

Nice stay with great view.

This was our first time at Top of the Gulf and we LOVED it! Very family friendly, great pool and kiddie pool with a snack shack, great outdoor seating areas and easy beach access. As for the room, it had an amazing beach view to wake up to every morning and had all of the necessities our family of 4 needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved it!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for my birthday and it was just perfect. The room had what we needed and had a great view. It’s right on the beach, has a pool, and a bar with food and drink. Terry the front desk lady was kind and so is the owner of the rooms. He communicated well and made sure I had a good room. Thanks again! I’ll be back!

Very dated

The kitchen was very dated. Good thing we didn’t need an oven as it was minuscule and disgusting. Bathroom was tiny and dated and tub did not drain well. I don’t think anyone will use the VCR/DVD combo either. View was nice.

Great SB spot

Myself and 3 other girls shared this condo. It was perfect for what we wanted! Really close to the bars and clubs, right on the beach with an amazing view, lots of good restaurants near by, and a great pool to sit out by! Everyone in the building was respectful and we had no issues with staff! Only thing we noticed about the condo was the dishwasher seemed to be broken and they didn’t supply dish soap only dishwasher pods. Other then that everything was great and clean! Highly recommend this spot for your spring break get away, but be aware it was almost all college age people staying in the other condos in the building.

Pictures are old & not accurate

Check in was not at 4:00 as expected. The cleaning crew was running late. That wasn't a problem though, we went to Pier Park. We checked in around 5:30 & although the condo smelled like bleach it was not clean. The floors were filthy, especially in the bathroom . I swept the floor & I kept my shoes on. There was no way I was going barefoot. Sheets & pillow cases were stained with blood & ripped in 2 places . The night stands had all kind of dirt, dust & trash behind them. One was very sticky. Ceiling fan was dirty as was the bathroom vent fan.There was no soap in the bathroom to wash our hands. FYI Not that this was a issue, but there not a balcony.The Top of the Gulf itself was nice Pool are very clean & all the staff very courteous.

Got the job done

Paid for what we got. The location to the beach was perfect and our window had a lovely view. If you're trying to save money this place is nice enough for that, and has everything you need to get by. The bedding was questionable, sheets, blankets, and pillows were slightly stained so recommend bringing your own. Most of the lights in the place don't work so it was very dimly lit and dark once the sun went down. Showerhead was moldy and the the tub had a dent in it like the bottom was slightly falling out and you could feel it move if you stood in that spot. The place has an interesting smell once you walk in but it's tolerable.

Great Spot, Terrible Condi

The view was beautiful and the location was spot on, but the condition of the condo left much to be desired. The room was filthy. Dishes were dirty and thrown in and under cabinets, the bathroom was dirty and toilet and bathtub were clogged and both extremely slow to drain. The plastic shower curtain liner was so disgusting that we had to buy one at a nearby Walmart. The window seat was also filthy so at that point we couldn't even trust that the bedding was clean, so we bought bedding as well. Will not rent this condo ever again.
