We enjoy the home so much and the location was perfect for the beach. The tubs could use some major cleaning or replacing but other then that we had and excellent time. The host was excellent on communication and answered every message

Just a heads up we recently renovated both of the tub/shower enclosures for the two full bathrooms. Thought you might appreciate we definitely take our clients comments as much as possible and are always striving to make the property better for future guests.
The complex is great! It was low key and so close to everything. The pool was very nice. Also very nice people in the community, just felt like you were one of the locals.
Great location, very clean, and comfy beds! We had a great time during our stay here. Very conveniently located next to good eats and shopping. If you’re looking for some good beach time and don’t wanna drive, this is the place for you! Would definitely stay here again.
this property was located exactly where we needed it to be. quick access to the beach, pier and restaurants. we also had access to a smaller private fishing pier. loved it.
This condo was huge! Plenty of space for different families. Each bedroom upstairs has its own bathroom. Loved having beach chairs, toys, bikes, Etc to use. Pool was awesome! People around were very nice and it’s a close walk to restaurants, pier and beach! Would 100% stay again.
Perfect place to stay with the grandsons. They enjoyed fishing on the dock at night and early morning. Bunk beds were great! Plenty of room for 4 adults and the two grandsons. Kitchen extremely well stocked with all pots, pans, dishes and serving pieces. Nice patio area for grilling and relaxing. Two sets of steep stairs were a bit much getting the luggage inside but overall an awesome place!
We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. We love the dock. Our boys are big fisherman and although they did not have too much luck this week, they did catch some and had fun. We love how close the condo is to the restaurants of Navarre Beach with the actual beach right across the street. Sunsets are better on the sound side and we're amazing. Thanks for a great week!
We all loved this location! Perfect size for our family vacay - outside hammocks and bikes was a huge plus for us. Only thing I will comment is they need more towels. We had 8 people for a week and only 3 or 4 towels. Definitely not a deal breaker. We all still had a blast!

We offered you to have our cleaning lady come back and do the places you mentioned. You decided to take a refund and then complain about it over and over again even in the review. How fair is that? You received money back and then still complained about it. You will not be allowed back as everything you said you were going to do you didn’t. You didn’t clean the spaces as you mentioned. You didn’t leave the trash out. You left the place a mess. Thanks for nothing.

No words at this time.
It was not cleaned properly…we had to clean it to stay in it. Smh. Thats all I’m going to say.
For that amount I didn’t expect to have to deal with mold or having to clean.
Extremely disappointed.
I just want to put this bad experience behind me…lesson learned.

You showed up early and rushed the cleaning lady out before she was finished. Not to mention blocking our cleaning lady in with your dually truck which was rather aggressive. You complained about multiple issues that were easily resolved. We offered to have the cleaning lady out a second time to redo anything you said was undone. You declined to have that service done. You then threatened us with a bad comment in return of the full cleaning fee. You also took our shower curtains and placed them outside of the home like they were trash. You let us know about your husband's condition after the cleaning service had left the first time. I would recommend communicating that prior to arrival especially if you need any special cleaning. This was just as good of an experience for us and our cleaning crew. Would never rent to you again.

Garbage
The instructions were to take the garbage out and to the dumpster, that was fine but the outside garbage can has garbage in it from previous guests. There was food under the couch and under the coffee table. So we left the garbage in the outside can because we bagged all of our garbage and took it to the dumpster. I feel that some of the amenities could be updated: the grill, the household furnishings. Oh and we listed everyone that was staying and there were not enough bath towels for all 9 of us. We had to do laundry so others could have a clean towel to use. And the property needs to be listed as NOT wheelchair accessible. We had one in a wheelchair and thank goodness we had enough people to get her up and down the stairs. I feel the price we paid was too much especially for the things I’ve listed. We thank you for allowing us to use your property but you need to make sure your cleaning company is doing their job.

Are you kidding me? This s there any picture in the listing that’s states an elevator? It’s 2 stories and that is clearly listed. You are an idiot for assuming the place was wheelchair accessible. That seems to be an important detail that you should have checked. No way is that our fault. I have replaced the counters, the floors and painted the entire condo in the past 2 years. Not sure how much else I can update while people like you are ruining our ability to rent. Thanks a bunch.

A bit disappointed
Not stocked well compared to other condos I have rented in the past. I could manage with that. The worst was after waiting 10 minutes after the check in time for the cleaning lady to leave, we go in and find a not so well cleaned condo. The master bath had soap scum and hair in the shower, the coffee pot had not been cleaned under the basket in a very long time and the sofa couch, when we lifted the cushions to check out the mattress was awful. We didn't even open it to use it, so dirty. There were 8 forks, 5 of which were small salad forks so I had to purchase plastic silverware. The beach umbrella was ripped and unusable. I did not contact the owner because he would not answer my first email regarding if we could go in even though the cleaning lady was still there. I just dealt with it. The hand mixer was broken and the blender was old and greasy feeling, so didn't use that. The slider door to the balcony was very difficult to open. I got the overall feeling that as long as no one complained, no changes had been made to the place in a very long time. When we left on our last day, we were instructed to text that we were leaving. The owner's response was a thumbs up...no thank you or hope you had a good stay. Just a thumbs up. It gave us a place to stay for the week but I will go back to the other condos we have rented in the past for the same comparable price and space.

Your claims are unfounded. We use the umbrellas and all the kitchen supplies every time we are there. We have never had to purchase plastic forks and we regularly entertain people.
You didn't contact us and that's your fault. I answered all of your messages promptly even though they were all rather abrasive. We told you that the place wouldn't be ready until we messaged you, but you still proceeded to rush the cleaning lady out of the unit before she finished. That's on you. What did you think was going to happen? I didn't know I needed to go into detail about you departing our condo. You ASSumed many things in this review and I ASSure you we know what that means. We regularly deep clean and update everything in the condo and to assume otherwise is offensive. We didn't instruct you to do anything. We have never received a message about not having things stocked including kitchen supplies. Also, we provided you with coffee filters which you messages about before you arrived, no? We allowed you to change the number of guests without paying extra after you made a false initial reservation. We received a message from you on July 12 telling us that the reservation "needs to change to 5 adults and 1 child age 15. Total of 6 guests." What world are you living in that a 15 year old is a child. Also, YOU need to change reservations not us and I don't appreciate when people tell me I need to do something especially when it's your responsibility and not ours.
The location of this property had onsight beach access to the sound side, and a 9 min walk to the beach on the gulf side. Quick access to the gas station. Townhouses were older, but inside was nice and clean. It is in a HOA, so there are some rules you have to abide by, but nothing serious. Overall was a great stay, owner of this property gave us full range to use everything in the house which came in handy with kids. Had a small hicup with the pull out couch not having linen, but owner quickly responded and fixed the issue. Still gave it 5 stars.
Perfect location! Clean! Short walk or drive to public beach and 2 piers! Fishing was phenomenal! Accommodated 6 adults and 2 children! Friendly and quiet neighborhood! Would definitely stay here again!
The place was very clean, well decorated and had everything we needed to feel at home, and was an easy walk to all the beach. Communication was great too. We would highly recommend this wonderful apartment.
Arrival and check in were a breeze. Cute little place and good location. Do not recommend if you have an issue with climbing stairs though as there are two, rather steep, sets of them. All bedding was clean an updated. Good sized bathrooms. Had a small-ish issue with the outlets in the bathrooms not working but that was solved by an easy breaker flip. Also, the hair dryer did not work in the master bath but that was a minor problem that I’m sure will be handled. Just be sure and bring your own in case. Also, bring or purchase your own laundry detergent as there was none. Again, a minor thing but every other VRBO I’ve stayed in usually has some for you to use.
All in all, I would recommend this condo to anyone and there’s a good chance that we will return.
Condo is very clean and spacious and has everything you could need. Location is good! Pool is nice and has a nice little pier out back. Would definitely recommend
The air conditioner wasn’t working when we checked in but the owner had someone there within an hour to fix. Nice place! Pool was close by and nice.
